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

Chungking, August 16, 1945—11 a.m.
[Received 1:50 p.m.]

1368. Pursuant to Department’s telegram 1244, August 11, 8 p.m., Embassy now understands from Dr. Sun Fo that revised company law probably will not be enacted for 2 weeks. If further views by Department or business groups can arrive within a week or 10 days, they can be considered by legislative committee.

Please inform Commerce that copy of Wiener’s³⁶ memorandum of June 9 sent by Moser³⁷ to Robertson under cover of letter dated June 14 did not arrive in Chungking until August 13. This memorandum has been of value as a coordinated expression of views of American business. It is hoped that steps have been taken to provide the Embassy with a similar statement concerning the present draft legislation.
