Following is the text referred to in my immediately preceding
telegram:-

The Government of the United States has received reports from
private sources to the effect that a large amount of Australian
wheat was recently sold to Japan on a twelve to eighteen months
open credit and that Australian wheat flour is now being offered
for sale to North China and Dairen on open credit terms at an
extraordinarily low price. In view of its interest in the
situation in the Far East and the bearing which the transactions
on the basis mentioned would have upon that situation, the
Government of the United States would appreciate receiving any
information available to the Government of the Australian
Commonwealth in regard to the accuracy of the reports under
reference. [1]
