The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in China (Stuart)
Washington, February 9, 1948—7
p.m.
215. Although Dept has no great confidence in Gen Chen Cheng Kai-min it would no doubt be advantageous (Embtel 241 Feb 6) for Chinese to centralize purchases for acquisition of military supplies. However Dept considers this administrative matter for decision by Chinese.
