My telegram No.50 from Shanghai.
I subsequently saw Hushi twice. On the first
occasion he was very doubtful of the Nanking govemment
being able to associate themselves in any way with
proposed provisional committee. But after consulting
them he found to his surprise they were on the contrary
most anxious to proceed as soon as possible and he
communicated the following eight names they had nominated
as acceptable to them: Yen, C.C. Wang, Hushi, Tsai,
Wang Chung-hui, C.C. Wu, Tsu Min-yi (member of Education
Committee of Kwangtun) and Chow Pei-chen recently
appointed by the Nanking govemment as Director-General
of projected Nanking govemment bank.
He said that Nanking was very bitter against V.K.
Ting whose life might even be in danger if they caught
him and that they insisted on his exclusion at least
for the present. Of the others C.C. Wu was not
anxious to serve real ising that his being a member of
the govemment was against it.
I pointed out that whereas there were eight
nominations on the list, only (2) were in fact wanted.
