Memorandum by the Chief of the Division of Far Eastern Affairs (Hamilton)12
[Washington,] January 28, 1943.
The Kuomintang-Communist situation in China is one which we should, of course, follow with care. A few days ago we asked Mr. Gauss by telegram to send us a report on the matter. Upon the receipt of his report, it is suggested that we give careful consideration to the question of asking the Embassy to send an officer to visit the Communist areas.
