The Ambassador in China (Hurley) to the Secretary of State

Chungking, August 31, 1945—10 a.m.
[Received 12:05 p.m.]

1483. The Chinese Government has been so preoccupied with questions having to do with surrender, Communist relations, et cetera (re your telegram 1277, August 18, 5 p.m.) that it has been unable to give further consideration to the Berrigan-Isaacs cases. Furthermore a new Minister of Information⁴ has just been appointed, and the Ministry is in process of reorganization.

I shall take up the cases again just as soon as it is possible or opportune to do so.⁵
