Mir. Barclay said after his visit with MT. Bryan that every assurance had been given for tie preservation of the integrity of China and the safeguard ing of American interests in the far east.
 The German charge d'affaires, Won Haimhausen, who also saw MT. Bryan. said it was greatly to be regretted that Japanese had raised an issue in the far east as Germany had oeen willing to neutralize that entire section.
