American Legation,
Peking, January 18, 1917, 7 p.m.

With reference to my telegram of January 11, 6 p.m. Representatives of International Corporation found Chinese authorities unwilling to entertain proposal but they hope that Chinese authorities will agree to the issue of part of the bonds at Tokyo. The American corporation could do the negotiations alone, retaining the entire management. Carey has informed Japanese Legation who say they will report favorably to Tokyo.
