My dear Mr. Hopkins:
Reference 18 made to the Department's letter of
March 2; 1943, in which 18 wa requested that there be
reconsidered the aetion taken by the Munitione Assign-
mente Board on 3, 1943, disapproving the request
sade by China Defense Supplies, Incorporated, that five
C-47 transport planes be assigned to China for the use
of the China National Aviation Corporation and to your
letter of Narch 20, 1943, steting that it - nesequary
again to disapprove the Chinese request for additional
transport planes.
As you are aware, five Lend-Lease transport planes
were recently allocated to Chine to facilitate military
and official communicatione. We understand that these
planea have been turned over to the Aeronautioni Commiesion
of the Chinese Government for espleyment in such comsunica-
tions. This allesstion, hovever, toes not neet the standing
need of the China National Aviation Corporation for five
additional transports for internal communications in China
and for communications between China and India. There
is
enclosed a sesorandus setting forth the considerations
underlying the Department's recommendation that every effort
be ande by this Government to alleente planes to supply
this need. The Department hopes that the Nunitions Assign-
ments Board will give the matter reneved and favorable
consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Cordeil am
