Following for Treasury from Ro
My information on Tientsin silver and currency negotiations
is incomplete and in some respects a month out of date. In view of the importance of this question and the fact that I am
continually being consulted by the Chinese Government I request

information it is most difficult for me to assist from Chinese
side in arriving at a mutually satisfactory solution.
Addressed to Foreign Office No. 2, repeated to Mission
Chungking No. 7 for His Majesty's Ambassador.
