Kizer et al. came at 9:10. Talked about future meetings of Far Eastern Regional Committee. Kizer suggested that if by Feb. circumstances should be favorable, committee might be urged to meet in Shanghai; otherwise, let it meet in Manila: which seemed to us a sensible suggestion. Took up the fishery program. Kizer thought the document did not give sufficient justification, in the way of figures of destruction of fishing boats; also suggested that more studies might be made on possibilities building ships in China. After the meeting, studied over the committee’s requirements: made two suggestions for further study: (1) Could we secure 10,000 pairs of rickshaw wheels with rubber tires complete? (2) Could not a part of trucks and buses come in by Stilwell Road so as to carry refugees east? Wrote steadily on the pamphlet on CNRRA 【行政院善後救濟總署]. Hope to have it finished before leaving for the United States. Harry Price 【畢範理] came in to urge me to have the bureau heads appointed and to leave large discretionary powers in hands of Cheng 【鄭道儒] when I leave. Both have difficulties. Evening, entertained Sir Horace 【薛穆] and Lady Seymour and the Belgian Ambassador at dinner. 杭立武 and 夫人, 潘光迥 and 夫人, 沈維泰【惟泰] and 夫人 were among those present. It is very difficult to know how the Seymours feel about things.
