The Minister in China (Johnson) to the Acting Secretary of State

Shanghai, April 26, 1932—noon.
[Received April 26—2:50 a.m.]

My April 23, 2 p.m. High Commission heard from British Minister who is returning from Nanking today that Chinese Government is prepared to accept suggested amendment to paragraph 11 of new draft resolution. That he has so informed his Secretary for Foreign Affairs at Geneva and has told him that Wang Ching-wei and the Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs have made it plain that this represents China’s last word and limit of her concessions.

Not repeated to Geneva.
