DEPARTMENT OF STATE
44-1
ADVISER ON POLITICAL RELATIONS
September 13, 1943.
I am initialing this proposed telegram for
the reason that it is an expression of an
opinion of the Department. I wish, hoyever, to
make record again of my view that so long as this
Government and the British Government decline to
admit the Chinese to a membership or an effective
representation on the Munitions Assignment
Board, the procedure of assigning munitions,
etc. to China is going to continue to be a source
of suspicion and cause of resentment to the
Chinese, is going to be regarded by the Chinese
as an evidence that we and the British do not
wieh or intend to treat China as a full partner
in the war effort, is going to impede our effort
to get maximum of cooperation from the Chinese,
and 1s going to add straws to the diplomatic
burden which is piling up in the political field
and which will have to be carried in our rela-
tions with China in the postwar period. It
would be a good deal easier to reason with the
Chinese about the problem of distribution of
munitions were the Chinese represented on the
Board than it has been is or will be while
the Chinese are not there represented.
