1029. For Sanders, UNA. Tsiang and Chauvel spoke to me separately this morning regarding proposed China item at GA at meeting in Cadogan’s office on different subject.

In reply to question by Tsiang, I told him I had not yet received any comments from Department on three objectives he mentioned to me (Usun 1001, August 26). He said he would appreciate knowing Department’s views on these three points as soon as feasible.

Chauvel said he had received telegram from Paris indicating his government “not very warm” towards Tsiang’s proposal and expressing view he should be discouraged from proposing item. I made appointment to see Chauvel tomorrow morning to get further details.
