The Consul at Amoy (MacVitty) to the Secretary of State

My September 19, noon [midnight].33 The Municipal Council on September 22 formally approved a reply to the Japanese Consul General’s letter, accepting a Japanese inspector general of police and containing detailed proposals for a full settlement of the Kulangsu question. The Japanese Consul General informally told Benninghoff last night that he believed the negotiations which would open in a few days would be successful, as only a few relatively minor points seemed to require discussion. He will have to submit the full text of the agreement to the Foreign Office for approval.

Sent to Peiping, repeated to Chungking, Shanghai. Peiping please repeat to Tokyo.
