The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in China (Stuart)
Washington, August 12, 1948—3
p.m.
1166. White House states (urtel 1466, Aug. 9) “that the President never made any statement about military aid to China to Mr. Wellington [Page 137] Koo. The only comment the President made was one to the effect that he hoped that we would all some day see a strong, united China”. Dept relies on your discretion to effect such correction as you think desirable informally and without publicity.
