[Received December 5—6:20 p.m.]
[Received December 5—6:20 p.m.]
[25. To Embassy:] In continuation of my 24, December 4, I am convinced that peremptory orders from Minister of Military Affairs or even higher authority will be needed to prevent General Chiang from exploiting these American premises to the limit on his own terms and from depriving this American firm from consumable goods, equipment and machinery to which it is clearly entitled on the basis of the Foreign Minister’s understanding with the Chargé set forth in the Embassy’s 1950, November 9.
