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

Nanking, June 9, 1949—8 p. m.
[Received June 10—10:21 a. m.]

1251. Australian Ambassador here cannot believe his Govt is advocating hasty recognition Commie regime China (reDepintel June 2, 7 a. m.⁷⁹). He assures me that his Govt’s policy is in line with Western Powers in leaving initiative to Commie regime and in following common procedure thereafter. Officer added, however, that he would continue to emphasize desirability of such policy in his reports to Canberra.

Sent Dept 1251, repeated Canton 518, Shanghai 672, Moscow 38, Canberra 2.
