Dropped in Kialing House at 9 and took Kizer to see T. V. 【宋子文] at 9:30. Kizer made some meaningless remarks: so did T. V. along Sunday school and YMCA line. I told them that I would make a try of the new scheme. Then Hsu Kan 【徐堪] came and we talked about food. Everybody is worried about the food crisis. Finally it was decided: (1) that Koo 【顧維鈞] should take up the negotiations in London, (2) that I should go to the States to attend the 4th Council Meeting, and (3) that Hsu Kan should go too, as Minister of Food to make a public appeal and to do negotiating. Kizer suggested the idea of somebody to share the responsibility with me. This afternoon, had talks with Wang Shih-chieh 【王世杰], who urged me to stay in China during month of March: assured me that T. V.’s “Director of Operations” would die a natural death in the Legislative Yuan, or greatly modified. He said that he had sent me a wire, urging me not to resign. Saw Wong Wen-hao 【翁文灝]. He was full of woes, said no minister was happy, that I was among the more fortunate. Saw Chiang Monlin 【蔣夢麟], who was most correct in not referring to T. V. at all. Wired C. M. 【李卓敏] to tell him Cheng Pao-nan 【鄭寶南] not to take any action vis-à-vis Olmstead for the time being.
