Our 622 May 28, 9 R.M., was intended simply to
indicate that despite official Chinese pressure and
the clamor in the press here and in America on nid to
China, there are at least some thinking Chinese who
take A more raalistic and objective view. ThEir
opinions, however, are not influential.
-
I recommended increased air support to China,
if practicable, in view of the increasing difficult
military situation in this country, and to give more
concrete Evidence that WE regard the China theatre
of some importance. With the blocking of the Burma
road, support only is really practicable and that only
on a limitEd scale (which America and Fritain should
both seek to provide.) Large scale air support would
require facilities, personnel, and supplies within
Chine which do not Exist and which it. would be difficult
if not impossible to provide.
