President Roosevelt approves of Acting Secretary of State Adee’s views and tells him to let Consuls General Fowler and Goodnow, at Che-fu and Shanghai, respectively, act in accordance with them. Adee is to ask Assistant Secretary of the Navy Charles Hial Darling to warn Admiral Yates Stirling to keep a sharp lookout so that he will not be taken by surprise. Stirling must be allowed to act to preserve American rights against either combatant (presumably China and Russia).
