it may be stated, for the British Embassy's confidential in-
formation, that the Department is bringing to the attention
of the American Ambassador at Chungking the considerations
raised in the British Embassy's memor andum and is requesting
that the Ambassador take occasion, without mentioning that
the British Embassy has suggested regulation of the shipment
of Lease-Lend supplies transiting Burma, to emphasize to
General Chiang Kai-shek that accemplishment of the hoped-for
improvements in transportation over the Burma Road would seem
to be of vital importance.
The Department has taken note of the suggestion of the
British Embassy that congestion at wharves in Rangoon might
be lessened and use of shipping facilitated through the giv-
ing of advance notification to the representative in New York
of the British Ministry of War Transport of the nature of the
goods being shipped to Rangoon and the arrival dates. Accord-
ing to information recently received from Rangoon, there has
been established there by the local authorities an official
Transpor t Coordination Board headed by the former British
Home Secretary of the Burma Government.
