The Chairman of the Chinese Supply Commission (Wang) to the Administrator of the Foreign Economic Administration (Crowley)
Dear Sir: Referring to your letter of September 18, addressed to Dr. T. V. Soong and relating to the termination of Lend Lease, I beg [Page 1161] to inform you that the Chinese Government desires to accept, without further selection, all FEA Lend-Lease supplies for China now in process of procurement, manufacture and delivery in this country. This will include all such supplies marked for China as may be in inventory in U. S. A.
The terms under which the obligations for the above will be met have already been discussed and agreed upon between you and Dr. T. V. Soong as per paragraph (3) of your memorandum of August 22, and paragraph (3) of Dr. Soong’s letter of August 24, 1945. It is also understood that the above will not prejudice any future adjustments in line with the basic policy enunciated in the first paragraph of your letter to Dr. Soong of September 18.
We shall appreciate it if you will notify the appropriate Divisions to take immediate action for the release for shipment at our request of all FEA supplies in inventory and for the continued delivery of all FEA supplies under contract. Upon receipt of your acknowledgment, we shall be glad to enter into arrangements with them concerning the details.
Very truly yours,
