1037. Underling of Huang Hua mentioned by telegram 1021 to Department May 14, repeated Canton 413, Shanghai 571, is Peng Shu-jen, a member of Chinese diplomatic service for number of years and recently returned here from Australia. He reports he was left Nanking by George Yeh in charge of Foreign Office turnover to Communists. Peng told me he still undecided whether return National territory or remain and work with Communists.
[Page 748]We infer from several indications that Huang Hua communicated Peiping after conversation with Fugh (see Embtel 994 to Department May 11, repeated Canton 395, Shanghai 552) and did not make his call on me until after it had been cleared, approved in the north.
