304. Consulate’s 302, September 16, 5 p.m., paragraph 4. Council in private session this afternoon acted as forecast. Koo made reservation that if proposal to convoke Advisory Committee and refer appeal to it was agreed to, that Council remained seized of the Chinese appeal itself and that he further reserved the right to ask Council to act in accordance with procedure of three articles cited in Chinese appeal if and when circumstances required it.
