Cool. Kizer et al. came at 9. Both he and Powers criticized the smallness of the scale of medical training, feeling that the 15 experts would be disappointed. Told them that the experts were intended for advanced training, which 300 will receive, that I was not ready for large scale elementary training, for personnel of that type were available for the operations I have in hand. After the meeting, Kizer and Price 【畢範理] stayed to tell me that they were ready to appoint 16 of my top personnel to be nominal consultants in their office, at salaries from Ch$160,000 to $110,000 a month: at least, I have that part of the program solved. For the rank and file, I must rely on my other resources. Called on Sir Horace 【薛穆] to ask him to influence the British member on the committee to accept sympathetic attitude on the question of China’s capacity to pay. At 3, called on Gen. Odlum for the same purpose. Cleared my desk. Sent wire to Cha Liang-cho 【查良釗], offering him field directorship in Kweichow. Ho Ya-ming 【霍寶樹(亞民)] came: offered him Bureau of Finance. He refused, on account of his deep interest in the future of the Bank of China. Evening, invited Snyder, Nash,【1】 Howard, 許復七, 淩道揚, 趙連芳, 謝徵孚, 余景伊 to dinner. The office had forgotten to order a meal. Waited till 8 p.m. Howard had many questions to ask on China’s economy. The affair was a success as an educative effort.
