The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in China (Johnson)
45. The French Ambassador called at the Department this afternoon. He stated that, in anticipation of the setting up of the Wang Ching-wei regime, his Government assumes that various problems will soon confront representatives in China of the foreign powers and it has given instructions to its Ambassador in China to confer and coordinate, where there are problems of common concern, with the British and the American Ambassadors there.
The Department of course desires that the Embassy, in circumstances where it may be appropriate, continue as heretofore to exchange information and views with the representatives of similarly concerned governments.
Sent to Chungking. Repeated to Peiping and Shanghai.
