749. From General Marshall. In view of urgency (attention Vincent) of Chinese need for railroad repair equipment I recommend that the Chinese request for a credit of $28,000,000 be granted. (Reurtel 695 of April 30.) For your and Eximbank information this credit should eventually come out of the $500,000,000 credit when it is granted; however, the Chinese Supply Commission should not be so informed. [Marshall.]
