aggression, investment in aid to China will give greater
return on small outlay than will any other investment.
The Chinese have been making comparatively effective
resistance to Japan for four years: they have the man
power and the will to continue this resistance. Aid
from the United States, small though it has been in
amount, has contributed materially toward maintenance of
their will and their capacity to resist thus far. The
American Government, especially the President, has given
them emphatic assurance of this Government's intention to
continue and to increase in amount the aid which this
country has been giving them. The Chinese rely on those
assurances. They are in considerable measure dependent,
for capacity to continue their resistance, upon fulfillment
of those assurances. They desperately need many of the
items for which they have officially made specific re-
quests. It is greatly to the interest of the United States
(and of Great Britain) that the Chinese continue their
resistance (keep Japan involved in the China effort).
Toward ensuring maintenance of the Chinese will and
capacity to continue their resistance, it is, in the
opinion of the author of this memorandum, not only desir-
able but essential that the flow (deliveries) of materials
from this country to China be rapidly increased in amount.
