1008. Delbos in the course of our conversation this evening expressed to me extreme pessimism with regard to the situation in the Far East. He said that he did not wish to bring forward any proposals for the settlement of the dispute; but it had occurred to him that inasmuch as all the great powers had a right to have the Peiping-Tientsin Railroad kept open that right might be a good basis on which the great powers might make a simultaneous démarche in both Tokyo and Nanking.
