72. My 70, April 15, noon.11 Responsible Chinese official today informed me that, contrary to expectations in some Chinese circles and voiced in section of Chinese press that Japanese Consular conference in Shanghai would be immediately followed by renewed Japanese “demands” on China, the Japanese Minister yesterday, in calling upon the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, had not only not made any demands or proposals but had expressed Japanese Government’s satisfaction at suppression of the anti-Japanese boycott and apparent increase of Chinese Government’s control in this matter.
