Since according to the enclosed newspaper China has now finally engaged Dr Amold a member of the directorate of the State bank, as adviser in currency questions this question is therefore about to be solved. Hence the currency loan must also be fired up and in connection with the particular matter discussed above concerning the payment to mercantile firms.

I made use of the opportunity to ask Z whether the rumour was true that Seckendorff ws going as ambassador to Peking in place of Hascthausen. He said that it was so at the partic- -ular wish of the Kaiser as the latter was becoming rather ner- -vous that at a time of such important events Germany was repres- -onted in Peking only by a young attaché to the Embassy instend of by an older minister. The Foreign Office however has wonde Seckendorff clearly to understand that he has to work there only as a figurehead; the business must be left to Herr von Waltzau. In the Foreign office they dont think much of him and there is not much doubt that he is only making his appearance there for a few months as a makeshift. I spoke quite openly about the fears I had that Seckendorff perhaps would not be inclined so to sup- -port us as we could wish because of our unsettled demand with him which had extended through many years in regard to which he might feel himself in difficulties; I had already related full details of this to Z. Z did not think that Seckendorff would presume in this respect but he requested me to tell him immed- -iately in case we should notice anything of such a nature so that he could come down on him properly. We need not feel at all anxious about this matter and I should advise Herr Schultz and Herr Boss to be quite unprejudiced and even not to know anything about the quarrel with Herr von Seckendorff. The whole thing is about some old partnership affair. Moreover Seckendorff is harm- -less and good-natured and quite a decent chap with whom it is quite easy to get on as a rule. He is also very obliging in matt-

-ors official.
