sion that China refuses to pay the July
installmeut of the indemnity except at
the rate of exchange prevailing April

The foreign ministers consider that
the taotais declaration is the result Of
the announcement of the United states
minister Mr.. Congcr, to the Chinese
government that the United States sus
tains China's contention and is willing
20 accept payment on the basis men
toned. But the ministers are conf
mt that China will accept the deci-
sion of the ma iority of the ministers
when she Is convinced that the United
States is her only supporter.
Some of the ministers insist that the
United states policy is unreasonable
and in direct opposition to the terms of
the protocol. They assert that Prince
Ching, head Of the foreign office, and
other Chinese officials before learning
that China had the support OF the
United States in this matter admitted
that their arguments were rather n
plea for mercy than demand fol
justice.
