123 Stuart, J. Leighton: Telegram
The Ambassador in China ( Stuart ) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 24—10:27 a. m.]
1371. I have had word indirectly from Chen Ming-shu that he has already had conversations with Mao Tse-tung64 and Chou En-lai which he regards as completely satisfactory. He reports that he will hasten his return to Shanghai via Nanking and expresses hope that I will delay my departure for US accordingly (see Embtel 1322, June 18). Further comment will be made after I have heard directly from Chen but I consider it significant that he saw these two top Communist leaders so promptly and advanced date return south with their approval.
