Secretary Byrnes to Foreign Minister Wang,
letter dated at New York, November 4, 1946
(files of the Executive Secretariat)
I have, been considering the letter which you
sent to me on September 3. regarding the application
of the Berlin and Moscow Agreements to the conclu-
sions of a peace settlement with Germany I have
also received, in a letter from Dr. Quo Tai-chi
dated October 12,2a copy of the telegram which you
addressed to Mr. Molotov commenting on his letter
to you of September 23 and in which you restate your
position.
While there is as yet no formal agreement on
procedures, I assume that after the preliminary
work has been completed on the peace settlement
with Germany, a Peace Conference will be convoked
to discuss the terms as was done in the prepara-
tion of the peace treaties with Italy, Bulgaria,
Rumania, Hungary and Finland. However, since there
is no formal agreement that such a Conference will
(
be called, the question you have raised cannot be
given a formal answer at this time. I can assure
you, on behalf of the United States Government,
that if and when the time arrives for considering
the calling of a Peace Conference to discuss the
German settlement, my Government will support your
view that the Chinese Government should participate
fully in deciding the composition of the Confer-
ence and in extending formal invitations to the
nations which will be represented.
