Memorandum of Conversation, by the Under Secretary of State (Welles)
The British Chargé d’Affaires, Sir Ronald Campbell, called to see me this morning at his request.
[Page 729]Sir Ronald urged, what he said he had already taken up previously with officials in the Department, that a United States official be designated to collaborate with Sir Otto Niemeyer in Chungking. He said it was felt that Mr. Fox’s activities covered many matters with which Sir Otto Niemeyer would not concern himself and that the impression would be created that the United States Government and the British Government were not cooperating fully in this field of their assistance to China. I stated that here again I would have to investigate the question since I was not informed concerning it.
