Return from Washington Indefinitely Postponed Chungking, Aug. 30. The Chinese Government has no intention of recalling Mr. Hu Shih, Ambassador to the United States, declared the spokesman of the Foreign Office when asked about a Japanese report that Mr. W. W. Yen might be appointed to replace Mr. Hu.
Rumours concerning the post at Washington are without foundation, the spokesman said. The rumour of Mr. Hu's recall originated in a report that he was to become president of the Academia Sinica, highest research institution in the Government, to succeed the late Dr. Tsai Yuan-pel.
While Mr. Hu is slated for the post his return from Washington has been indefinitely postponed pending further developments. Appointment of Mr. Yen to an important diplomatic post has been rumoured for some time but it is understood his age and poor health are preventing his acceptance of any active post at present—Reuter.
