Memorandum of Conversation, by the Under Secretary of State (Stettinius)
The Chinese Ambassador35 called today to pay his respects. He was very friendly, cooperative, and appreciative of what I have attempted to do for China in the past in the administration of Lend-Lease.
He asked some questions about the Moscow conference and I explained to him that it was impossible at this time to tell what will be discussed at the meeting.
[Page 513]He asked a second time in this connection if matters pertaining to the Pacific would be discussed and I replied that no one could tell at this time.
He informed me that Dr. T. V. Soong has arrived in Chungking. He was very complimentary of the manner in which I had spoken to the Chinese companies in San Francisco on my recent trip to the coast.
