183. Suma of Japanese Embassy indicated to Counselor Lockhart and me in conversation this morning that he considered Sino-Japanese issues in Hopei completely settled and said that there was now no question of an exchange of memoranda between Japanese and Chinese or the signing of any kind of document by them and Chinese in that connection. He stated that the Chahar question would be taken up in Nanking within a few days, the details having been worked out in the North and the Chinese Government having already agreed in principle to the points suggested by the Japanese.
