Memorandum from Alvey A. Adee

Assistant Secretary of State Adee summarizes a visit from the Chinese Minister Cheng Liang. Liang had received a telegram from his government, asserting that the treaty to be ratified October 8 is to include an agreement that China can open two ports in Manchuria. Adee notes that this agreement has been affirmed and will be part of the treaty, without reference to any questions between China and Russia. Adee and Liang also discussed the upcoming sedition trial at Shanghai of Chinese dissidents, noting that the United States government would not interfere but would expect the agreed-upon judicial proceeding to vindicate the law.
