The Chinese Chargé (Liu) to the Secretary of State
Sir: I have the honor to refer to the Department’s Aide-Mémoire of March 25, 1944, inquiring whether the Chinese Government would be interested in joining in exploratory discussions on the subject of post-war aviation with particular reference to the development of international air transportation, and enclosing the proposed agenda of subjects relating to international civil aviation.
Under the instructions of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, I beg to inform you that the Chinese Government has appointed Mr. Chang Kia-Ngau, Adviser to the Executive Yuan and formerly Minister of Communications, and Major-General P. T. Mow, Deputy-Director of the Commission on Aeronautical Affairs, as delegates to participate in the preliminary discussions in Washington. Mr. Chang and Major-General Mow are now in the United States and will be ready to begin the talks at any time suitable to the delegates of the United States Government.
