Nanking, February 23, 1947—2 p.m.
[Received February 23—4:55 a.m.]

348. Rumor has it, as is reported in the press, that Foreign Minister’s trip to North China will include Manchuria where he will allegedly undertake discussions with Russian authorities. For obvious reasons (Embtel 336, February 21) Embassy has not attempted to check on this rumor. Embassy has, however, reliable info that while in Peiping Wang Shih-chieh will discuss on Gimo’s behalf participation in a reorganized government of Hu Shih⁷² and certain other individuals resident in that area.

Stuart

72. Former Chinese Ambassador in the United States and at this time president of Peita University at Peiping.
