The Director of the Office of European Affairs (Dunn) to the Director of the Civil Affairs Division, War Department (Hilldring)⁷⁰

Washington, July 21, 1944.

My Dear General Hilldring: I am transmitting herewith a series of papers prepared by the State Department on “Military Government in Formosa” relating to political and policy questions presented by the War and Navy Departments.⁷¹

These papers are identical with those which were transmitted earlier with the indication that they represent the informal views of experts in the Department. The papers have since been formally approved at the policy level and may now be regarded as the present views of the Department of State, subject, however, to such modifications as may be necessary in the light of future developments.⁷²

Sincerely yours,

James Clement Dunn
