General Marshall to the War Department

Nanking, 24 June 1946.

979. For Warcos. The expansion of ground facilities for air operations and extension of airways services in China re 9221430 is considered a desirable adjunct to the economic rehabilitation of China. However the methods by which this is accomplished is believed to be the primary responsibility of the Chinese Government. Since the National Advisory Council and the Exim Bank have not requested my views as to the propriety of the proposal made by PAA, I consider it premature for me to comment thereon at this time.
