The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 17—3:05 p.m.]
5823. [My] 5752, October 15, 1 a.m. With reference to amended version which Foreign Office suggested for the second paragraph of article VII of the draft treaty with China on extraterritoriality, Foreign Office writes today that it seems to be in line with the thought of the authors of the American draft, and to make the Foreign Office intention clearer, if it inserts the words “abrogated by or” between “insofar as they are not” and “inconsistent” in the first sentence of the British suggested amended version. It mentions that the same addition would also be required in the succeeding sentence.
