My telegram No. 1564.

I learn from the United States Embassy that the Chinese Government are pressing for immediate signature of the American Treaty and are apparently ready to drop some of their amendments to facilitate this. Reason stated is desire to announce signature at the last session of the Central Executive Committee on November 27th.
