Mr. Debuchi volunteered to take up the Tientsin matter again and stated that the Ambassador had approved of the suggestion he himself had made to the Japanese Government as a basis of settlement, but when I told him that Mr. Lansing wanted to speak to the Ambassador personally on the subject he said that he would withhold conversation until later.
