The Chargé in China (Perkins) to the Secretary of State

1178. My 1165, December 18, 5 p.m. Following from Jacobs and Bucknell:

“December 20, 10 a.m. Referring to the alternative proposal of the Chinese delegation for consular representation on the court, telegraphed by the British Consulate General at Shanghai yesterday to the interested Senior Minister, the chief of the Chinese delegation stated today that it was an official alternative proposal. We submit that this also does not provide the necessary safeguards.”
