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.
