Sir Edward Grey to Mr. Max Müller.

Foreign Office, March 24, 1910. THE Chinese Minister called upon me yesterday. I told him that His Majesty's Government had decided, in view of the refusal of the Chinese Government to submit either the Macao dispute or the case of the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company to arbitration and of their attitude in the Anhui question, that until the Chinese Government should adopt a more reasonable attitude in their relations with this country, it would be better to postpone the suggested visit of Prince Tsai-tao and the military commission.
Lord Li promised to telegraph the substance of my remarks to his Government, who would, he hoped, send him a reply by next Tuesday.
