WHITE HOUSE NUMBER 316, TOP SECRET FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE
FOR AMBASSADOR HARRIMAN.
Your cable Number 040931. You are authorized to inform Stalin:
(1) While we have no intention of withdrawing our support of the
agreed Yalta proposals we believe that Soong has already met the Yalta
requirements and we hope very much the Generalissimo will not press for
further concessions.
(2) We would request that no agreement be made involving further
concessions by China that might adversely affect our interests, particularly
with reference to the inclusion of the Port of Dairen in the Soviet military
zone, without consultation with us. It should be recalled that President
Roosevelt declined to agree to Soviet original proposal for a lease of Dairen
and insisted on its internationalization as a free port. Because of our
interest in the open door policy we would be opposed to the inclusion of the
Port of Dairen in the Soviet military zone or its use as a Soviet naval base.
(3) We would further suggest that a protocol, along the lines of the
draft attached to your memorandum of July 28, reaffirming Stalin's verbal
assurances to ob serve the "Upen Door" policy in Manchuria should be concluded
immediately and published at the same time as the Soviet-Chinese arrangements.
