893.20 Mission/8–546: Telegram
The Ambassador in China (Stuart) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 5—6:30 a.m.]
1261. General Marshall wishes negotiations for draft agreement to be completed though signature will be deferred until time is appropriate. Accordingly Embassy has taken up with FonOff55 proposed changes as contained in Deptel 418, July 8, 7 p.m.
Apparently typographical error has entered into exchanges between Department and Embassy. It is not articles 22 and 23 that both Chinese Government and General Marshall wish deleted, but articles 22 and 25. Accordingly Embassy has omitted mentioning article 23. Please accord permission to omit article 25.
