planes in so far as the materiel was available and surplus

Among other things, Ambassador Koo stated that the
Chinese authorities had signed a contract with Olin Indus-
tries for the production of ammunition and the procedure
was reiterated to him whereby the Department of the Army,
at the request of the manufacturing company, would advance
to that company, for subsequent replacement, supplies from
Army depots at home or, if it could be arranged, abroad.
It was evident from a number of remarks which Dr. Koo made
that the Chinese authorities, as sometimes is their wont,
fluctuated, on the one hand, between a desire to take speedy
action to fulfill their urgent and real needs and, on the
other, to delay and bargain in the hope of obtaining facili-
ties on favorable or gratus terms. In this connection he
was urged to use his authority to the end that the 8-1/3
Group contract for the Zone of the Interior supplies be
speedily concluded as a result of the meeting which would
take place this afternoon in the Office of the Foreign
Liquidation Commissioner, at which the Chief of the Division
of Chinese Affairs and the Minister of the Chinese Embassy
would be present.

Dr. Koo made passing reference to the recent interchange

between the Chinese and Russian Foreign Ministers regarding
the convoking of" a Japanese peace conference and, upon his
of

request, I sent him informally copies of the note which the
British Government had addressed to the Chinese and Soviet
Governments at the end of last week.
