The delegates declines to reveal the exact nature of the discussions, but I learn from

a very reliable source that the results of the day's two conferences were, firstly, at the Military Sub-Committee meeting, the Chinese delegates agreed to permit the Japanese troops to withdraw to four of the five areas cited by the Japanese and outlined in my cable of yesterday, and secondly, at the same meeting, the Japanese agreed to establish a time-limit for the withdrawal of troops to the second lines of defence, adjacent to Shanghai, as would be agreed upon.

Everything at this stage seemed to be going well, but acrimony began to enter when the Japanese replied with a flat refusal to the Chinese demand for the crea- tion of a definite time-limit within which the Japanese forces must withdraw entirely from Chinese territory.
