The Chinese Representative in the United Nations Security Council (Tsiang) to the Secretary of State 23
My dear Mr. Secretary: Dr. Wang Shih-chieh, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has cabled me to present to you a personal suggestion which, he says, he touched upon very briefly in one of his conversations with you when he was in Paris.
Dr. Wang hopes that you will develop a bi-partisan American policy in regard to China as you have succeeded in establishing such a bipartisan policy in regard to Europe. He feels that your success in the European field has paved the way for success in the Chinese field, if you should decide to make the attempt.
I understand that Dr. Koo, the Chinese Ambassador, has been instructed to make similar representations to President Truman.
With the highest regards,
Yours most cordially,
- Copy transmitted to the Department by the Secretary of State in his telegram Martel 151, November 18, noon, with a request that appropriate action be taken (893.00/11–1848); in reply, the Acting Secretary of State stated in his telegram Telmar 176, November 19, 10 a. m.: “I assume you are leaving this communication unanswered. I shall ensure that the President is advised that as indicated therein the Chinese Ambassador will raise this matter with him on his return from Key West.” (893.00/11–1948)↩
