Heavy rain last night, cloudy in the morning, spots of sunshine in the afternoon. At 9:30 a.m. Ku 【谷正綱], Minister of Social Affair, came with two of his technicians, to talk about future relations between our offices. I told him that in fact four types of relief work will have to be done: (1) care of refugees on the way home or to place of work, (2) emergency relief in case of cities upon liberation, (3) children, crippled, and old, and (4) people on public works relief projects. He claimed to have charge of (1), (2), and (3), while I allotted to him only (3). Finally, he agreed to my proposition, provided the training for all four types of workers should be done nominally under his Ministry. I agreed to his proposition on conditions (1) that H. C. Chang 【張鴻鈞] should be put in charge, and (2) that curriculum for (1), (2), and (4) should be determined by me. He in turn accepted my conditions. Afternoon, Arnold, Price 【畢範理], and Johnson came to talk. I requested Arnold to inform Lehman that since submission of program and requirements of China, two new developments had intervened: (1) Western Europe decided not to use UNRRA 【聯合國善後救濟總署] money, and (2) two more provinces, Hunan and Kwangsi, had been occupied by the enemy, and therefore I was aiming at $ 900,000,000. I added I would submit a program on fishery, one on rural industry, and that I would keep within limits of $ 900,000,000. I also requested him to say to Lehman that while I disliked the instructions establishing the China office, I was confident that I would have the fullest co-operation with Kizer and his staff. Evening, 3-handed bridge at home.
