==============
Chinese government have at last nominated
delegates to negotiate with representatives of heads
of legations. They are W.W. Yen, C.T. Wang Fu and
Tsai Ting Khan, First meeting will take place
tomorrow evening.
Chinese government are endeavour-
ing to insist that their two notes of June 24th
(see my telegram No. 161) should form basis of
negotiations. They are being informed that our
delegates will only deal with Shanghai incident
itself and that demands, put forward in note to
representatives at Washington, treaty powers
(7 cannot) possibly be dealt with in this way.
Attitude of Chinese government is typical of their
complete surrender to students' demands, regardless
even of common sense.
