chenre DECLASSIFIED (E) WAR DEPARTMENT E. o. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) 1974 or wASHINGTON NLT-LL OSD NARS SDA106.2475 letter, April 12, March 18, 1946 By MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT: I have just received the following from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, which I think will be of interest to you and the Secretary of State: "The Plenary Session of the Central Committee of Kuomintang will close Sunday . The situation and the atmosphere of Saturday's session was very favorable and optimistic. My concern over the political issue has been much clarified. "The members of that committee entrust me with full power to handle the Manchurian problems. They passed a motion not to interfere with me in any way pertaining to Manchuria. "Originally the atmosphere in that committee was very unsatisfactory. They wanted to overthrow the arrangements made in the past regarding Manchuria, but now it turns out to be much more favorable. "You need not worry about the anxieties I expressed to you before you left Chungking. I notice in the press this morning his statement on the completion of the meeting of the Central Committee, which would seem to indicate that they have acted in good faith.
