[Received August 13—7:20 a.m.]

1309. General Marshall’s and my statement of August 10 has had, among others, the effect of stimulating President Chiang to issue a statement also which is due to be released for publication at 8 a.m. Nanking time August 14.

Whereas, I am sorry that in some respects he did not go further, nevertheless, I feel that issuance of this statement is a helpful occurrence at this critical stage of our negotiations. Summary of text follows.⁴⁵
