OCR Page 1 of 6TELEGRAM FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
CHUNGKING, NOVEMBER 21, 1945
MR. PRESIDENT:
IN A MEMORANDUM HANDED BY THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN
AFFAIRS TO AMERICAN CHARGE D'AFFAIRES ON NOVEMBER 16
FOR TRANSMITTAL TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE, THERE WERE
SET FORTH THE VARIOUS STEPS WHICH THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT
HAD TAKEN TOWARD THE PRESENT SITUATION IN MANCHURIA
IT WILL BE NOTED IN THAT MEMORANDUA THAT THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT HAS MADE EVERY POSSIBLE EFFORT TO SEEK co-
AND
RECORDS
OPERATION OF THE SOVIET AUTHORITIES IN CARRYING OUT THE
=
COVERSON
TERMS OF THE SINO-SOVIET TREATY OF FRIENDSHIP AND ALLIANCE
AND THE RELATED AGREEMENTS CONCLUDED LAST AUGUST IN
MOSCOW. THESE ENDEAVORS OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN
PROMPTED BY THE SINCERE DESIRE TO SEEK COMPLETE RAPPROACHE-
MENT WITH SOVIET RUSSIA THEREBY ESTABLISHING A FIRM BASIS
FOR ENDURING PEACE IN ASIA. IN THIS CONNECTION WE HAVE BEEN
CONSTANTLY MINDFUL OF THE EARNEST EFFORTS OF THE LATE
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AT YALTA IN THE FUTURE SETTIE MENT OF
MANCHURIA, AND OF YOUR ENDORSEMENT OF HIS POLICY AS INDICATED
IN YOUR LETTER TO ME JUNE 15 LAST THROUGH AMBASSADOR HURLEY.
IT IS A SIGNIFICANT FACT - BORNE OUT BY GENERALISSIMO
STALIN'S CONVERSATION WITH AMBASSADOR HARRIMAN LAST AUGUST -
THAT AT THE TIME OF JAPANESE CAPITULATION THERE WAS NO TRACE
OF ANY CHINESE COMMUNIST FORCES IN MANCHURIA. RECENT
PENETRATION OF LARGE NUMBERS OF CHINESE COMMUNIST TROOPS
INTO MANCHURIA COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT THE
CONVENIENCE OF THE SOVIET MILITARY COMMAND; WHO HAS ON THE
OTHER HAND PREVENTED LANDING OF ANY CHINESE GOVERNMENT
TROOPS ANYWHERE IN MANCHURIA AND RENDERED FUTILE ANY AT-
TEMPT ON THE PART OF THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES TO REGAIN
CONTROL
