Memorandum by the Chief of the Division of Far Eastern Affairs (Hornbeck)42

undated

I can give no assurance that the Department will make to the Chinese proposals in form and substance conforming to this draft. The Department has not yet definitely decided what it will propose or when it will make proposals or by what procedure. All of these points are under consideration. The Department is definitely of the opinion that retention of criminal jurisdiction and the maintenance of various safeguards are essential points.
