Memorandum of Telephone Conversation, by the Chief of the Division of Chinese Affairs (Sprouse)
Mr. Tsui1 telephoned this afternoon and informed me that the Chinese Embassy had received a telegram from the Foreign Office stating that the American Embassy had been in touch with the Foreign Office in regard to the question of recognition of South Korea. Mr. Tsui stated that the Chinese Government is prepared to extend recognition and that the Foreign Office has suggested that the signatories to the Moscow Declaration, China, the United States and Great Britain, take simultaneous action to recognize South Korea. Mr. Tsui concluded that it was hoped that the United States Government would be able to comply with this suggestion.
