Foreign Relations of the United States, 1947, The Far East: China, Volume VII

893.00/6–647

Memorandum by the Director of the Office of Far Eastern Affairs (Vincent) to Brigadier General Marshall S. Carter, Special Assistant to the Secretary of State

[Washington,] June 6, 1947.

There is such an abundance of discouragement floating about that I dislike adding to it, but I think the Secretary should read the attached telegram⁴⁵ in full if he has not done so. And I think also he might have the contents in mind when Ambassador Koo next calls for possible use in telling Koo just how badly the situation is being handled in Manchuria.
