[Received July 15—8 p.m.]
[Received July 15—8 p.m.]
350. Dr. Leighton Stuart has left (accompanied by Philip Fu) Peiping for Chungking at the instance of Dr. H. H. Kung.67 Some [Page 195] significance may be attached to this visit especially since it is understood that Kita and Wang Keh Min are cognizant of the visit and that Kita is using Stuart as a means of communicating views (believed to relate to possible peace terms) to Kung and/or other responsible Chinese officials.
Repeated to Chungking.
