The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Bullitt) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 15—12:30 p.m.]
238. Dr. Yen, Chinese Ambassador to Russia, informed me that he received a telegram from Wang Ching-wei this morning saying that the idea that there is a real dispute between Hirota and the Japanese military authorities is erroneous; that the military authorities are in full control with Hirota acquiescent. He added that he had received a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek this morning from Chungking saying that he intended to remain in Szechuan to continue his campaign against the Communists and that he believed any attempt to oppose the Japanese by force would be disastrous.
