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

Nanking, July 6, 1948—6 p. m.
[Received July 6—10:51 a. m.]

1235. I raised with Gimo question of Government educating Chinese people on Soviet violations of the Sino-Soviet pact⁷⁶ and behavior of Russian troops in Manchuria. Confirming what Vice Minister George Yeh told us, as reported Embtel 632, April 8, Gimo replied that action along lines suggested depended upon American policy. When China could count on assistance from US in resisting Soviet penetration, he was ready to abandon present timid policy and come out openly against these violations of the pact and other general unfriendly activities of Soviets.
