[Received October 16—5:50 a.m.]
1802. We have been informed by Foreign Office that yesterday afternoon Dr. Wang Shih-chieh, Minister for Foreign Affairs, called on Soviet Ambassador and told him that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek considers that it is “vitally important” that the Soviet Union accept membership in Far Eastern Advisory Commission and send representative to meeting in Washington on October 23. Dr. Wang said that the Generalissimo desired that his views be communicated to Molotov and Stalin. Soviet Ambassador said that he would communicate Generalissimo’s views by telegraph to Molotov and Stalin.
Chinese Foreign Office has just informed us that Chinese Government has designated Ambassador Wei Tao-ming in Washington (Department’s 1638, October 948) as its representative on Commission.
