Sir:
me-wa
I have the honor to enclose a copy of a memorandum
of May 5, 944)written by Second Secretary John S.
Service on detail to General Stilwell's staff, in
regard to the attitude of General Ho Ying-chin, Chief
of Staff and Minister of War, toward American military
aid to China.
Summary of Memorandum. During a meeting of the
Standing Committee of the People's Political Counoil
several weeks ago, General Ho stated that American
military aid to China has so far been very slight as
most of the supplies transported by plane from India
go to the U. S. 14th Air Force and to General Stil-
well's forces, the Chinese receiving very little and
that being for the most part comunioations and med-
ical supplies. American aid to China is given on a
very different basis from that to Russia. The Soviet
Union presents a list of her needs to the American
authorities and materials are turned over to the
mm,
Russians without conditions. Americans wish to
decide Chinese needs, to train Chinese troops and
to control Chinese armies through liaison officers.
End of Sumary.
SACHIVES NATIONAL SERVICE and AND
RECORDS
The question of American assistance to China is
one on which oven the usually reasonable Chinese
friends of the United States are apt to display an
unreasonable attitude. The less friendly and chauvin-
istic Chinese tend to be insistent in their demands
that more American aid be forthooming and to be orit-
ical of the failure of the United States to provide
more planes and other war materials. Other examples
of this attitude are contained in utterances by the
Government spokesmen at the weekly prese conferences
and in editorial comment by the Ghinese press. Dr.
