to act in complete agreement with Chiang

agreement we believe that we should be acting
not only within our own rights but strictly
within llied arrangements.

We are nevertheless reluctant to go
ahead as planned without a final effort to
secure agreement.
We should not wish to let
the matter rest on the basis of your telegram
55 No. 968 without any response on our side.
