Memorandum of Conversation, by the Director of the Office of Far Eastern Affairs (Vincent)

[Washington,] January 18, 1946.

Mr. Chen1 telephoned to inform me that he had been advised by Chungking that the Chinese Government was considering plans for sending a representative to Outer Mongolia. He said that decision had not been reached with regard to the character of the representative; that is, whether there would be a regular diplomatic mission or something in the form of a commission. He added that the Outer Mongolian Government was sending a representative to Chungking to discuss relations between the two countries and that a decision regarding permanent representation would probably be reached during these discussions.

  1. Chen Chih-mai, Counselor of the Chinese Embassy.↩
