The Consul General at Peiping (Clubb) to the Secretary of State

Peiping, November 14, 1949—4 p. m.
[Received November 14—12:15 p. m.]

1992. Re Embtel [my] 1941, November 8. Letter November 7 to Chou En-lai re Military Attaché Soule exit permit was returned by mail today without acknowledgement or comment.

Re Embtel 396, November 14,¹³ believe in circumstances new note to Chou at this stage would be fruitless. Believe it would be better await further developments Nanking. Effect of any note to Peiping authorities should shortly be discernible Nanking and if communication quite without effect new note would be for present useless. Re Embtel 394, November 14,¹² suggest Bacon apply formally direct Labor Bureau as “representative” club if feasible.

Department’s instructions requested.
