in China Washington, Feb, 17.
Official circles express confidence: that the controversy with China regarding the cancellation of the American wireless contract will be satisfactorily terminated before President Harding's installation.
The United States note to China was despatched through Mr. Crane, after the latter had repeatedly informed Washington that the "can collation of the contract would be a blow to the open door policy in China. The Note is strongly worded, and is believed to forecast the possibility of Mr. Crane's withdrawal in the event of the Chinese Government persisting in the intention to cancel the contract.—- Reuter.
