Memorandum of Telephone Conversation, by the Chief of the Division of Chinese Affairs (Sprouse)

[Washington,] August 31, 1948.

I telephoned Mr. Tsui this morning to tell him that I had looked into the matter of the Tibetan Trade Mission’s attempting to obtain a loan from the U. S. Government and to negotiate a trade agreement with the United States, concerning which Mr. Tsui had inquired last week. I said that, as I had previously indicated, there was no basis for such a report.
