945. Views set forth urtel 1167 Jun 27 are shared fully by Dept and these considerations have governed Dept’s position re various [Page 588] points negotiations, such as Art IV to which reference made Deptels 815 May 29 and 892 Jun 17 and introductory sentence Art II (Deptel 920 Jun 24). Dept has been of opinion that severe position on matters this nature would not materially affect Chinese performance and would only gain ill-will but has been reluctant take unyielding stand in existing circumstances.
