The Chargé in China (Peck) to the Secretary of State
Chungking, May 1,

[Received May 1—7 a.m.]
296. The entire text of my 295, May 1, 9 a.m., was drafted by Dr. Young43 and handed to me April 30 with the request that it be sent to the Department. While it apparently embodies the views of Young himself and does not purport to emanate from the Minister of Finance, nevertheless they are in close collaboration in currency matters and I infer the statement was prompted by Kung.
Repeated to Peiping, Shanghai.
