Mr. Lauchlin Currie, Administrative Assistant to President Roosevelt, to the Naval Attaché in China (McHugh)46

[Washington,] November 17, 1941.

For Omita.47 President has cabled Generalissimo.48 I am personally satisfied that real consideration is now being given to China’s needs and that flow of lend-lease will henceforth increase. Also the air program will be much better organized. Have made reservation but regret you will be away so long.
