The Ambassador in the Soviet Union (Harriman) to President Truman and the Secretary of State
[101425.] Soong was unable to see Stalin last night but is seeing him tonight. If compelled to do so he may make some further concessions [Page 967] regarding Dairen in order to reach agreement. I told him that if these might [affect] United States policies or interests we would expect to be consulted prior to conclusion of the agreement. I told him also as a matter of record that the United States Government considered that his present proposals had fulfilled the Yalta Agreement and that any further concessions would be with the understanding that they were made by the Chinese Government because of the value it attached to obtaining Soviet support in other directions. He thoroughly understands and accepts the correctness of this position.
