950. Since Dairen possesses appropriate receiving equipment for short wave transmission, Department feels telegrams can be broadcast Dairen from Shanghai or other location, communications officer Shanghai deems feasible, on prearranged schedule basis. Although this method only provides means sending telegrams to Dairen, Dept feels it worthwhile particularly in notifying Dairen of courier and ship arrivals. Please take up with communications officer and advise views. Sent Nanking, repeated Shanghai.
