5. I AM GRATEFUL TO PEKING FOR ALL THEIR EFFORTS ON OUR BEHALF AND REGRET HAVING TO ASK SO FREQUENTLY FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE. I FEAR
THOUGH THAT ONLY INSTRUCTIONS FROM PEKING WILL PRODUCE EFFECTIVE

BY THE TIME THE AMBASSADOR RETURNS TO PEKING AT THE BEGINING OF NEXT WEEK, I BELIEVE WE MUS ESCALATE MATTERS TO AN APPROACH AT HIS LEVEL.
