- Associated Press report of a deadlock is not correct. Status of the matter is unchanged since Legation’s No. 719, September 20, 6 p.m. We are still awaiting word from Wang both as to his efforts to overcome factional opposition to the arrangements offered by him and as to the progress of repairs of consulate.

- My recommendation is that we should not seek to force the issue one way or the other but await the outcome of Wang’s efforts to arrange the matter.
