Dear Department,
Your despatch No.283 of the 21st December regarding
un alleged agreement relating to the emigration of Chinese
to Paraguay.
We have passed on a copy of your despatch to Beurd at
Asunción una requested him to make the necessary enquiries.
At the same time we have told him the result of our enquiries
here. The Companía Internacional de Colonización is not
registered in Buenos Aires, and Mr. Faul E. Williams is not
known at the auares (Av. Fresidente koque Jaenz Pena 550)
given in the agreement enclosed in the letter from the
Governor of Hong Kong. It ruther looks as if the whole
scheme were a ramp.
we will report finally after hearing from Beard,
but I feel you may care to pass on a preliminary warning in
the interests of those who look like being duped or worse.
Yours ever,
The American Department,
Foreign office.
CHANCERY.
