Foreign members of Shanghai Municipal Council including Japanese held a meeting this morning to determine whether a state of emergency exists and the decision was in the negative for the time being. I learn from thoroughly reliable source that Japanese Consul General has promised that reply from Mayor to Japanese demands given in my January 25, 2 p.m., will be given to Council 24 hours in advance of any Japanese action. Reply is expected this afternoon.
Repeated to the Legation.
