Your telegram No.984.
I asked for interview with Chiang-Kai-Shek yesterday but he was unable to see me then and probably cannot today. He sent a message asking me to inform him through Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs of your views, and I therefore communicated them to Dr.Wu last night. I left nothing in writing but he took full notes of what I said on lines of your telegram.
2. I cannot believe that Chinese will accept solution under which their representative is to sign any surrender documents merely as a witness, and so far as I can judge here they would have American support in resisting this proposal.
3. See also General Carton de Wiart's telegram to
50 General Ismay No.W.1686 of today's date.
