The Consul at Hanoi (Reed) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:59 p.m.]
34. Reference my telegram No. 32, paragraph 1, today’s date, 10 a.m. This afternoon it was agreed that the Texas Oil Company may reexport certain stipulated petroleum products providing loading is done under combined French and Japanese supervision. Details of the extent of this supervision are to be worked out between Texas Oil Company manager and French and Japanese officials at Haiphong and whether the demanded supervision will be too onerous is as yet unknown.
Sent to Cavite for repetition to the Department, Chungking, Peiping, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Canton.
