389. With reference to Department’s 310, March 8, 9 p.m.5 Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs6 has informed me orally that the Chinese Government accepts the invitation to the proposed conference and that such suggestions and comments as it may have to make will be communicated separately on a subsequent date or be incorporated in the instructions of the delegates for communication when they arrive in Washington. Unofficially he stated that the delegation would probably be composed of seven or eight men and that every effort would be made to have them arrive in Washington by April 27, April 5 having been set as the deadline for preparation for their departure from Chungking.
