The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant)
5271. Your 5923, October 23, 4 p.m. In the light of Mr. Eden’s views we have added to Article V a sentence as follows: “Each of the two Governments will endeavor to have accorded in territory under its jurisdiction to nationals of the other country, in regard to all legal proceedings and to matters relating to the administration of justice and to the levying of taxes or requirements in connection therewith and to the carrying on of commerce, treatment not less favorable than that accorded to its own nationals.”
The draft text as amended was handed by me to the Chinese Ambassador, in accordance with prior arrangement, this morning at 10:30.
