Cool. Arthur Young, C. M. Li 【李卓敏], Staley, and Dawson came to discuss the general report. I asked them to emphasize (1) relation of relief and rehabilitation to inflation in China, and (2) China’s capacity to pay is limited by necessity of monetary rehabilitation and of financing parts of rehabilitation not financed by UNRRA 【聯合國善後救濟總署], and (3) relief burden to be borne mainly by UNRRA whereas rehabilitation burden to be shared between UNRRA and the Chinese government. Bridgen【1】 of Australia came to sound me out about establishing a sub-committee in Sydney. Told him that I visualize Far Eastern Regional Committee to be more decentralized than European Regional Committee, that in the Far East, emphasis to be placed on direct contact between Director General and individual governments, that Sydney could have an UNRRA office to prepare for action in New Zealand, Australia, Dutch East Indies, and French Islands, but not to include continental Asia and not to assume form of committee. He thought my suggestion to be reasonable. Evening, dinner with Staley and Dawson in Hotel 2400—present: P. W. Kuo 【郭秉文], Menshikov, Gulick, Gladieux, K. H. Wang 【王國華], K. Y. Chen 【陳廣沅], and C. M. Li 【李卓敏]. Discussion on American journalism. Cleared my desk and handed papers to C. N. Shih 【施其南].
