The Minister in Switzerland (Wilson) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received April 13—11:15 a.m.]
80. Yen told me this morning that he had requested a meeting of the 19 which will be held on Saturday59 in order to present the Chinese point of view on the Shanghai negotiations. He said that China could not accept the proposal of Sir Miles Lampson even in its modified form as it contained “conditions” for withdrawal of the Japanese forces and thus was contrary to the Assembly resolution. For example, withdrawal was not to take effect for 6 months and then only if order in Shanghai and the surrounding district justified such withdrawal.
