The Secretary of State to the Consul General at Nanking (Peck)
119. For Minister Johnson: I have just cabled Ambassador Dawes at Paris as follows:
[Here follows text of telegram No. 589, November 23, 6 p.m., to the Chargé in France, printed supra, with omission of the final paragraph.]
I think the substance of the above message should be communicated by you to the Chinese Government. This would appear to be especially important, for the Ambassador of a nation represented on the Council has approached me to state that the Chinese, who are taking a more intransigent attitude toward the League resolution, are basing their observation upon the alleged fact that the Chinese Government has been told by you that the United States is ready to go much farther than the League of Nations to support the Chinese position. I am transmitting to you by separate telegram the text of the Council resolution referred to above.
