The Counselor of Embassy in China (Smyth) to the Secretary of State

Chungking, February 25, 1946—11 a.m.
[Received 11:31 a.m.]

361. From General Marshall. Concur with Dept that no reply to Chinese memo (Reurtel 327 of Feb 20) is necessary.

I think the position and actions of the Chinese Govt now justify the US Govt (in the light of the President’s statement of policy of Dec 15⁸² re China) in commencing negotiations for a major loan by the Eximbank, and I recommend accordingly. [Marshall.]
