Partial sunshine. Listened before staff of Ministry of Information between 8 and 10 a.m.—a crowd of low-intelligence and sleepy people, straggling in one by one, very much as in Peita 【北大]. I suppose that is the Peita tradition spread over the whole nation. Wrote steadily on the article觀美國並回觀祖國. After lunch, went to visit my other office in downtown, about 12 members of staff there, including two piles. I had them come in one by one. They seem all to have had a good education. Both girls were doing typewriting, without knowing shorthand. One of them will soon go to the States, to study child welfare. The other, a husky Tientsin girl, came to the rear by herself half a year ago. I admire her pluck; told her to take up short hand and to work more on English and Chinese. She might be a good secretary. Congressman Mansfield came to talk at 4 p.m., seemed to be quite pessimistic. P. H. Chang 【張平群] phoned that the Associated Press wished to have a comment on Secretary Hull’s resignation. Finished writing the article. Received two letters from Yafeng 【許亞芬], Oct. 30 and Nov. 16th. Evening, 張肖梅 and 張君勱【1】 came to dinner and to chat.
