The Ambassador in China (Stuart) to the Secretary of State
[Received February 4—6:16 a. m.]
217. Reference Deptel 138, January 28, 4 p. m. Embassy agrees with Department view that suggestion in Shanghai’s 129, January 19 for utilization of part of Fulbright funds to counteract anti-American feeling in Chinese universities is of doubtful utility. Embassy believes USIS (United States Information Service) is better instrument for this purpose and in any event does not see how the Fulbright money could be used unless an outright grant were made to USIS. Embassy conceives of Fulbright foundation in terms of a longer range program.
