My March 30, 11 a.m. I have just seen Lampson, to whom I gave the information reported in my March 30, 1 p.m. He stated he was leaving on April 2 for Peiping, expecting to be away approximately 10 days to 2 weeks. I assume, therefore, that C. T. Wang has not gone beyond the point reported in my March 30, 11 a.m. Dr. Wang apparently wishes to see if we are disposed to go further than the British before he resumes negotiations with them here.
