SECTION 3.
Your Excellency,
Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Whitelaw Reid.
Foreign Office, June 25, 1910. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's note of the 24th instant, in which you are good enough to inform me that the United States Government accepts the arrangement arrived at in Paris last month in the matter of the Hukuang loan, and that the United States Minister at Peking will be instructed to join his French, German, and British colleagues in approaching the Chinese Government on the subject as soon as the Department of State has been informed that the other Governments also agree to this course.
I beg leave to state that the French and German.Governments have notified to His Majesty's Government their assent to the agreement in question, and I understand from Mr. Max Müller, His Majesty's chargé d'affaires at Peking, that instructions have already reached his French and German colleagues to co-operate with him in
this matter.
[2792 bb-3]
I am, &c.
E. GREY.
