The Ambassador in China (Stuart) to the Secretary of State

Nanking, July 30, 1949—10 p. m.
[Received July 30—11:20 a. m.]

1664. With reference Deptel 875, July 23,⁴⁵ I am making every effort to depart not later than morning August 2. (See Embtel 1663, July 30.) Communist authorities declare they require time properly to alert their armed forces along aircraft’s course and that August 2 is only tentative ETD. They said I will not be delayed longer than August 3 in any event.

Stuart
