Peking, July 11.
Notwithstanding the fact that! Dr. C. T. Wang's pronouncement, on unequal treaties is the subject here of much technical diplomatic discussion, no Legation admits that it has received the Nationalist Government's Note. Presumably no note has been directly addressed to any Power through the Legations with the exception of the notifications to Denmark and Italy concerning the revision of the Commercial clauses of their treaties.
The tendency of each diplomatic group which I have approached in the past few days for opinions is to pass Dr. Wang's effort off lightly as a ballan d'ssai, an endeavour, in fact, establish for himself a sort of Eugene Chen position, in default of substantial backing in Nanking. The Japanese retort is favourably endorsed in all unofficial conversa tions.
