Indemnity Talks For Bandit Victims In China
Dispatches from Washington report ongoing negotiations in Peking over indemnity for 27 foreigners seized by bandits on May 6. A proposed plan would pay $500 for the first three days of captivity and $100 daily thereafter, with eight Americans among the captives. Some agreed sums were paid by June 12, but no final approval from the Chinese government or U.S. confirmation is available. The State Department has urged balanced, noninflated demands and stressed individual merit in each case.
