ANNEX A
1. The estimated figures shown on the attached chart were
based on the following assumptions:
a.
That initial issue and maintenance supplies already
issued, and due in on requisitions from IBT, AFWESPAC and the
United States, will support Chinese Armies in Manchuria through
30 June 1946 and that after 1 July 1946 minimum logistical
support will be maintained until 31 October 1946.
b. That the movement of Chinese Armies to Manchuria
will be completed about 1 September 1946.
C.
That the entire cost of operations of liberty ships,
under control of COMGENCHINA and employed in the movement and
support of Chinese Armies in Manchuria, will be borne by the
Chinese Government, and that any fixed charges or rental fees
and depreciation of ships will be a matter of future settle-
ment between United States and Chinese Governments.
d. That all POL on Lend-Lease will terminate on 1 March
1946, at which time commercial concerns will take over such
supply and distribution in China.
No charges have been included for the use of shipping under SCAJAP
which is being used in the repatriation of Japanese; but charges are
included for Marine and Navy supplies and services, including those
for Chinese troop movements and the disarmament and repatriation of
Japanese since V-J Day.
2.
China Theater records for the period 2 September to 31
October 1946 do not indicate the specific purpose for which items
were transferred to the Chinese, and the figure for this period is
therefore carried under the heading "Miscellaneous". These records
are now being recomputed in the War Department and a more accurate
figure will be forwarded to you when it is available.
3. For your information, a flat charge of $2,000 per ton is
made for transportation services intra China, and $1,500 per ton
<
was charged for transportation over the hump. This is reflected
in the "Service Charges" in the chart to this Annex.
4.
The Chinese Training Program in the U.S. under Lend-Lease
aid is limited to the training of Chinese Air Cadets. Estimated
completion date of the last class, if present training schedules
and shipping rates are maintained, is about 1 January 1948.
