The Ambassador in China (Johnson) to the Secretary of State
[Received February 4—7 a.m.]
79. In recent conversation with Vice Minister Hsu Mo latter informed Peck98 that the Secretary of State had said to the Chinese Ambassador in regard to reports that Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union were discussing plan for assisting China to resist Japan, that the United States would go as far as other powers in aiding China but declined to commit itself in regard to any plan still in stage of discussion. The remark of the Vice Minister was made casually in a general conversation but may be of interest.
