1548. General Marshall requests that following message be transmitted to Acting Secretary of State in reply to Deptel 778, September 23, 2 p.m.:
“There is an urgent economic need for rehabilitation of Hankow–Canton–Kowloon railroad which is not related to military activities. This project and the initial first year requirements for the Yellow River bridge project appeal to me strongly, and I do not think can well be confused with general restrictions on aid to Govt of China at this time.”
