354. Your mail despatch No. 330 March 2417a reports 3305 tons tungsten tin and mercury and 500 tons wood oil ready for shipment at points in Burma. Has Dr. Wong been able to effect transport of these stocks to Myitkyina or to other places of safety and if not what is the likelihood of saving such portion of them as have not been yet lost through Japanese advance? Please report any available information.
