My telegram 322 [1] and paragraph 11 of Fuhrman's telegram 291.

[2] Commonwealth representatives have discussed the question of
moving from Nanking. They have come to the conclusion that unless
the Government provided all necessary facilities both for
transporting the Mission and accommodating it at the new capital,
they would remain at Nanking.

2. This decision has since been discussed with the United States
Ambassador and the French, Netherlands and Belgian Ambassadors who
all agree.

3. It should, of course, be kept most secret as should it be known
it would prejudice our relations here so long as the Government
remains.
