611. We have read with interest Strong’s report on visit Tsinan, your 129 [119] April 2, repeated Department as 52. Unless Department directs to contrary, we suggest utmost reserve in considering requests from regional leaders such as that made by Hsu to Strong for regional aid. Time has not yet come, we believe, when channel other than that of central government could be considered.
Sent Tsingtao as 65, repeated Department 611.
