My telegram No.14 of tour series from Nanking
August 2nd.
I have now discussed with United States Minister.
General gist is as recorded in my telegram No.8 tour
series.
Position now is that United States Minister
awaits instructions from Washington as result of
consultations with London on latest American draft.
As he anticipates that this will take time he is now arranging for visit of his admiral to deliberate on September 15th and making no plan yet for proceeding with mediation.
For my detailed comment on American draft see my despatch 1230 of August 24th via Siberia.
Addressed to Foreign Office No.316 of September 1st, repeated to Nanking for Mission.
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
