preparations have to be made regarding Articles 2, 3, 4 & 5 the

operation of the said Articles be postponed for a period of three
months beginning from the date of the signing of the said Treaty."

EXCHANGE OF NOTES RESPECTING THE MATTER OF HANYEHPING
--Note--
Peking, the 25th day of the 5th month of the 4th year of the
Republic of China.
Monsieur le Ministre,
I have the honour to state that if in future the Hanyehping
Company and the Japanese capitalists agree upon co-operation, the
Chinese Government, in view of the intimate relations subsisting
between the Japanese capitalists and the said Company, will
forthwith give its permission. The Chinese Government further
agrees not to confiscate the said Company, nor, without the
consent of the Japanese capitalists to convert it into a state
enterprise, nor cause it to borrow and use foreign capital other
than Japanese.
