Acting Secretary of State Adee tells President Roosevelt that he does not believe that Admiral Yates Stirling’s discretion in an emergency should be hampered by Stade Department instructions. He also believes that U.S. consuls in China should focus on safeguarding American neutral interests, rather than committing to anything that would lead them to be called on to guarantee Chinese neutrality.
