British shipping to China - the "Navy memo".
On January 5, 1952, President Truman expressed his concern to
Mr. Churchill over the amount of British shipping engaged in trade with
Communist China. The President was speaking from material furnished
him by Admiral Fechteler, Chief of Naval Operations. The fresident
directed Mr. Acheson to prepare a written memorandum on the subject
for presentation to Mr. Eden. The Secretary transmitted Admiral
Fechteler's memo to Mr. Edwn on January 8. This memo has now become
known as a State Department memo.
I feel that this whole matter is likely to be the cause of
considerable embarrasment to the State Department and to Mr. Acheson.
In order to keep the record straight (and any other action you think
appropriate) I am attaching to this memorandum the following pertinent
material:
Tab I - Memorandum by Mr. Harrison Lewis pertaining to statistical
inaccuracy.
Tab 2- Memorandum from Secretary Acheson to Mr. Eden
Tab 3 - Material transmitted by Mr. Acheson to Mr. Eden (the
"Navy memo" from Admiral Fechteler to the President)
Tab 4 - Memorandum to the Secretary from the Special Assistance
for Intelligence (commenting on preliminary British reply)
Tab 5 - Memorandum from British Embassy on 14 January
Tab 6 - 2nd memorandum to the Secretary from the Special Assistance
for Intelligence.
Tab 7 - (Background Navy papers)
(a) Memorandum from DNO to CNO
(b) Brief of Subject
(c) Table I - Sale of Non-Communist Vessels to the Soviet
bloc - Sept 1950-Dec1951.
