Lord Chervell
Last evening Secretary Lovett, General Bradley,
and I dined with Mr. Churchill, Mr. Eden, Lord Chervell,
and the British Ambassador at the British Embassy.
After dinner ve had discussion around the table from
shortly after nine until shortly after one.
Mr. Churchill started the discussion by saying
that he wished to talk about three natters: Far East,
Middle East, and the atomic bomb.
The Far East: He said that he had been much
disturbed by the President's statement to him the day
before that British shipping had been carrying very
considerable cargo, including strategic material, to
Chinese ports. He asked on an urgent basis thet I fur-
nish him with the memorandum to which the President had
referred, saying that he would telephone or cable the
information to London, and, if the facts supported what
had been said, he would see that it was stopped immedi-
ately. He said that his Governzent, which had been in
office only nine weeks, had no responsibility in this
matter, but that it would immediately assume responsibility.
Mr. Lovett said that he was working with me on
the matter, and that we vould furnish a memorandum very
shortly. Mr. Lovett thought that the information should
be drawn together by the intelligence services so that
it might be directed more to what was going on
