Memorandum of the Third Assistant Secretary of State (Long)
[Washington,] December 23,
1919.
Mr. Debuchi volunteered to take up the Tientsin matter again and stated that the Ambassador had approved of the suggestion he himself had made to the Japanese Government as a basis of settlement, but when I told him that Mr. Lansing wanted to speak to the Ambassador personally on the subject he said that he would withhold conversation until later.
