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

Nanking, November 29, 1948—2 p. m.
[Received November 29—7:04 a. m.]

2355. French Ambassador informs us in most strict confidence that Vice Foreign Minister George Yeh told him informally that he had been charged with arranging for transportation and accommodation of Diplomatic Corps when Government moves to new capital. He was either unaware or would not reveal place to which Government plans to remove. As this is first intimation of realization that Government may have to move, we are investigating and hope report further.
