TIME
The controversy (TIME, Aug. 6) between Dr. Wellington Koo, Chinese Foreign Minister, and M. Yoshizawa, Japanese Minister to Peking, came to an end when the latter presented a copy of his credentials to the Foreign Office, retaining the original for the next President, when elected.
When Yoshizawa arrived in Peking a fortnight ago he found no President to whom he could present his credentials, so he put them in his pocket and contented himself with informing the Chinese Foreign Office that he had come. The Foreign Minister refused to recognize such a proceeding and a diplomatic fracas resulted.
