Text

My dear Mr. President

This important despatch came in From Peking this afternoon. I send it over with the answers attached. In view of the urgency, I thought something should be done at once and I felt that we were being conservative. You will notice that no reference is made to the loan from the Japanese referred to in the telegram from Reinsch. If the Japanese offer us participation it will present an interesting question.Enclosures.The PresidentThe White House.

Yours faithfully,Frank L. Polk
