The Ambassador in China (Stuart) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 30—4:40 a.m.]
1561. Communist spokesman Wang Ping-nan yesterday gave out to press he had received letter from me for transmission to Chou En-lai, Shanghai, but refused to divulge contents (this is invitation for Chou to return to Nanking and was in fact signed by General Marshall as well). Wang also said, Communists still insist on resumption three-man committee to discuss cease fire and that five-man committee is still unnecessary since “cease fire is prerequisite to solution all other problems”.
Wang added that in case of govt reorganization, Communists and Democratic League should get at least 14 seats in State Council in order to secure veto power.
