Memorandum by the Chief of the Division of Far Eastern Affairs (Hornbeck) of a Conversation With the Chinese Minister (C. C. Wu)
Dr. Wu called and referred to the view which had been expressed by Mr. Hornbeck in the most recent conversations on extraterritoriality that no progress could result from discussing concessions asked by the Chinese in regard to comprehensive major points without first or simultaneously discussing the question of legal safeguards. Dr. Wu said that he was now in position to submit a new draft87 in which the question of safeguards was fully taken care of. He said that this draft took full account of the points which have been under discussion between the British Minister and Mr. Hsu Mo of the Chinese Foreign Office. He said that he hoped that the Department would find this draft satisfactory.
Mr. Hornbeck said that we would be happy to examine the draft promptly.
