they reached a new wall attitude on the blank on wither side.

In 30841/10 Mr Beale summonsed the various possibilities of the case, a new off the probable inference of the Chinese authorities. It is shown that mutual quart of murning powers on each country's line is out of the question. The Chinese declare for a "working agreement", but it is obviously impossible that by working agreement can sufficiently provide for all contingencies, and it seems as much as some friction is likely to arise as a result. This solution comes from a wonder joint board where differences of opinion can be ventilated and modified by listening to the argument on the other side. The Chinese insist on the ground that differences of opinion will lead to diplomatic interferences and contest. They will not modify the Chinese national line, or their section of it, as it is evident that they regard this objection as insufferable.

I should like to suggest a board with the possibility of having a permanent board of 4 (two representatives from both sides) together with a further representative of either party, such third representative to be present at the meetings but whose vote should only be effective as regards the section of the line belonging to his government; i.e., discussion having produced a plan which is live, the vote should take place as regards its effect on the Chinese section or its effect on the British section. In each case, the Govt concerned would have the final say, and vice versa.

This method of there being three representatives on each side would doubtless produce deadlocks, but it would remove the Chinese objection to a joint control, and business men might occasionally come to an agreement by this means. At any rate, the managements on either side would meet one another.
