## Part 6

2.... that the French Government is not obligated to the Frenchmen in China who worked in the concessions and who have been placed in an awkward position by the retrocession, its moral obligations are undeniable as I wired the Department on 17 of June last (§511 to §15). In this connection the example of action taken by other countries is worthy of observation. For instance for 4 years the German Government has supported in Japan and in China thousands of Germans expelled from the Netherlands East Indies. The French Government may very soon be obliged to take similar steps. But that involves a problem beyond the scope of Shanghai and one that equally concerns Tientsin. For this reason, I have discussed the matter with the Ambassador and we are planning to continue the conversation in Peking itself in order to be able to submit to the department some definite suggestions before the departure of K. COSSE for Tokyo. Sent to the Ambassador as 2227.
