2139. According to telegram dated Dec[?] from Ward, it was expected that Ining delegates would return to Tihwa within next few days (2068, Nov 30 to Dept, repeated Moscow). Exceptional diplomatic talent of Liu Tse-jung and marked ability of Chang Chih-chung (sent Dept, repeated Moscow) together with Soviet Consul’s evident sincerity in use of good offices, makes it seem reasonable to Ward to hope for satisfactory conclusion of conversations within next fortnight.
