During the discussion on the phraseology of the resolution, it was revealed, a Consul-General voiced his objection 4o the words "actual situation" contained in the resolution, on the grounds that it contained a great deal of political meaning.
In replying to this objection, the Japanese Consul General, Mr Yoshiaki Miura pointed out that it was needless to say that these words contained political meaning. He stressed that these words mean that Shanghai and its surrounding arcus were under Japanese occupation and were under the jurisdiction of the Nanking Government.
Upon the agreement of the other Consuls-General and Consuls, the Consul-General withdrew his objections.
In proposing his amendment, which later was adopted as a resolution, Mr. Miura reiterated that the Japanese authorities were prepared to offer their fullest cooperation for the suppression of terroristic actitities in the International Settlement He stressed that he had made this point clear during the last meeting of the Consular Body.
Mr. Miura recalled, however, that the draft resolutions presented. though they appeared harmless at first sight, were not as innocent as they appeared. Deep consideration into the adoption of such resolutions, Mr. Miura pointed out, would have brought about the effect oí encouraging, or at least stimulating the territoristic activities of Chungking elements.
