964. Reference to telegram 621 from reking to
Foreign office and from Foreign Office to Peking. I would
emphasize great need for action before (a) situation
changes so as to make present plans for the
enforcement unsuitable. Changes include further conciliatory attitude by Chiang Kai Shek and return to Yangtse Valley of Northerners (b) greater part of
effect is lost due to delay. I still consider it
essential that ultimatum should include some undeniabl
undesirable concession on the part of Chinese such as handing over of Wusung forts.
