The Secretary of State to the Chargé in China (Robertson)
1841. For Adler from the Secretary of the Treasury. We were glad to learn that (Urtel 1859 Oct 25, 1945) O. K. Yui is considering our proposal to tie up the disposal of surplus property with Army [Page 1178] obligations and assume that you have received our cable dated November 1, 1945, regarding the arrival of John K. Howard in Chungking to negotiate disposal of surplus property in China.
Inasmuch as it is very urgent that we come to an agreement with the Chinese on this matter of surplus property, you should press O. K. Yui constantly for a decision by the Chinese Government. [Morgenthau.]
