Topic: John Leighton Stuart


  
  John L. Stuart
John Leighton Stuart (1876-1962) was a significant figure in Sino-American historical relations, especially relative to China’s higher education as well as in the last few years before the Chinese communists took over China in 1949.
Nowadays, Stuart is mainly remembered by the American polity as the one who lost China to the communists, and by the Chinese as the one who was satirized by Mao Zedong’s three critical essays.

 Association for Asia Research- History's implications for Taiwan's constitution
On January 1, 1947, Zhou Enlai told the U.S. Ambassador in Nanking, J. Leighton Stuart, "in spite of the fact that the so-called ‘National Assembly' has already been held and a so-called constitution passed, their nature is still that of a ‘Chiang Kai-shek National Assembly' and ‘Chiang Kai-shek Constitution'.
As such, the history of the 1947 ROC Constitution suggests instead that Taiwan's people are not bound by a constitution that emerged in China without their participation or approval, and the theoretical beneficence of which they did not enjoy.

 Would he have been better?
As the US ambassador Leighton Stuart commented, it was 'a mark of Communist contempt' for the Nationalists that they should have 'so little hesitation in explaining their strategy'.

John Leighton Stuart (1876-1962) descended from generations of Presbyterian churchmen.
Stuart, born in China, would spend his youth there, travel abroad, and then return in 1905 after completing his university education in the United States.
As in the case of John Leighton Stuart, a man could be both ardently anti-Communist, devoutly religious, and ardently Wilsonian at one and the same time; after all, Woodrow Wilson himself was all of these.

 FAREWELL, LEIGHTON STUART!
It is understandable that the date chosen for the publication of the U.S. White Paper was August 5, a time when Leighton Stuart [1] had departed from Nanking for Washington but had not yet arrived there, since Leighton Stuart is a symbol of the complete defeat of the U.S. policy of aggression.
In the eyes of the Marshall group he had only one fault, namely, that the whole period when he was ambassador to China as an exponent of their policy was the very period in which that policy was utterly defeated by the Chinese people; that was no small responsibility.
John Leighton Stuart, who was born in China in 1876, was always a loyal agent of U.S. cultural aggression in China.

But he was in Washington for a time and John Carter Vincent, who was my very good friend, arranged an interview with Hurley although he confided to me that I was not likely to have much success in talking with Hurley, of whom he apparently didn't think much.

In his recommendation to Marshall just before the general left China for home, Ambassador John Leighton Stuart urged that the United States either make a genuine effort to prevent a Communist takeover or do nothing at all.
Stuart's recommendation made sense, but politically it was all but impossible.
In mid-July 1949 Chen told Ambassador Stuart that Mao's declaration was designed "for his own Party." The Chinese Communists still hoped for formal diplomatic relations between the United States and a Chinese Communist regime.

The Digest empire, particularly through its Washington bureau, was a major outlet for Cold War propaganda and had significant connections to the U.S. intelligence community.

The remainder of this comprehensive account revolves around the private and public lives of Lila and DeWitt Wallace, and the handful of fawning executives who ran the office in Pleasantville, New York beginning in the 1920s.
