The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in China (Gauss)

933. From the Secretary of the Treasury for Adler.

1.
The Treasury has received reports that large scale counterfeiting of Chinese currency is being practiced by the Japanese.
2.
If there is confirmation for these reports has this counterfeiting so far had any observable consequences, and what has the Chinese Government done to cope with the situation?
3.
Any views or information you may have concerning this matter would be appreciated by the Treasury Department. [Morgenthau.]
