The Chargé in China (Atcheson) to the Secretary of State

It is now reported with some reliability that the draft treaty which the Chinese are said to have been working on (ReEmbtel 306, February 27, 11 a.m.) has been abandoned, as has also for the time being any plan of Soong proceeding to Moscow before the San Francisco [Page 858] Conference.17a A few days ago at Soong’s request we visaed his passport for journey to the United States together with those of his secretaries and to Yee Pei as his “special assistant”. Reports that Sun Fo18 might go to Moscow have died down (ReEmbs 346, March 2, 3 p.m.19) and persons near him deny that there is at present a possibility that he may do so.
