4. His Majesty's Consul has furnished me
with a note (copy enclosed) of a suggestion for
a solution of this question which was made by the
Chinese representatives as a personal suggestion
during the discussion between His Majesty's
Legation and the Chinese Government which took
place about a year ago in Peking regarding the
best means of giving effect to the proposals for
Treaty revision communicated by His Majesty's
Legation to the Wai Chiao Pu on January 28th,
1927.
The Chinese suggestion seems to offer
a reasonable solution of the question, and I
have the honour to ask whether I may make a local
arrangement of the kind suggested, for application
in the Shanghai Provisional Court only, without
prejudice to the general issue.
5.
Since the meeting of the Consular Body
above referred to, the Netherlands and Fortuguese
Legations at Peking have refused permission to
their respective Consuls General at Shanghai to
make a local arrangement of the matter, but for
my part I am prepared, if you agree, to take
action alone and to see whether a solution ad how
...
cannot.
