Your G.2110. C-in-C. 'Hong Kong reports that Chinese and American representatives have been his guests for four days. Further delay in carrying out formalities of surrender will make them a farce.
2. We have now met Chinese point of view as far as wc can and do not understand what is holding up the issue of necessary authority to American and Chinese representatives.
3. Unless you sue very strong objection we propose to authorise C-in-C. Hong Kong to take formal surrender on September 16th and you shoull take any necessary action with the Generalissimo.
