The Ambassador in India (Henderson) to the Secretary of State
1075. Bajpai1 tells me today that Chinese Chargé d’Affaires has presented External Affairs with note stating that Chinese Nationalist Government is planning to bring charges in UN against Russia for violating Chinese-Soviet agreement of 1945 on various grounds and asking Indian support.
2. Bajpai says no reply has yet been made but GOI considers it rather late to bring charge of this kind and believes that Chinese action has been brought for delaying purposes in order to obscure situation in Far East and prevent recognition of Chinese Commie regime.
3. He says he is somewhat puzzled at information received through channels usually reliable to effect that US Government has informally assured Chinese Nationalists that it is sympathetic at least in principle to the bringing of these charges.
