Roosevelt urged Wallace to visit China for diplomacy
President Roosevelt requested Wallace undertake a trip to China within four months. The announcement sparked speculation on party politics and strengthened efforts for closer U S ties with Chiang Kai-Shek’s government. Wallace remained silent aside from confirming a possible Chungking visit in late spring or early summer. White House and State Department officials were surprised by the plan. Eleanor Roosevelt said Wallace told her he wished to go. Stephen Early could not explain the trip’s purpose or status. The Chinese Embassy noted it had heard Wallace hoped to travel to Chungking.
