Nanking, November 5,
1946.
Dr. Stuart showed me a copy of the letter60 which you referred to me and which is returned herewith. I told Dr. Stuart that I did not think that the U. S. would be favorably inclined to extend further credit for cotton at this time.61 It was difficult to obtain even the 30 million credit at the first of this year. I told him that I would like to have Mr. Adler’s comments before considering the matter further.
