PERSONAL FOR GENERAL MARSHALL FROM COLONEL DAVIS
In official channels your views will no doubt be requested on following
matters which are submitted for your consideration in advance of official
inquiry:
One. United States Military Advisory Group. As approved by JCS
(JCS 1330/10) plan envisaged that US would provide initially approximately
4,000 Army and Navy officers and men for training Chinese ground, air, and
naval forces. As group was to be assembled from volunteers, it was envisaged
of
95,8
o
that dependents could accompany which ASF estimates would raise total US
military and civilian personnel to approximately 10,000. Upon submission of
plan for approval by State-War-Navy Coordinating Committee, Sec State filed
strong objection which was submitted for comment to General Wedemeyer in
WARX 92047, dated 8 January and repeated to you on 16 January. War Department
advises that five specific concessions which Sec State believes to be excessive
were not designed as contractual conditions to be agreed upon by Chinese as
prerequisite to establishment of mission but rather were submitted by JCS
for consideration of State Department in negotiating arrangements for mission
Therefore, basic issue between State Department and War Department is size
of advisory group which necessarily is related to mission advisory group is
expected
