Cool. G. P. Waung 【汪今鵬] came at 10. Chatted about the office. At 11, Viola Smith【1】 came. 12:30, C. M. Li 【李卓敏] and Staley came. Lunch. Happy talk. One school of thought would have it that 19th 【century] liberalism was a sham and an obstacle to human progress; what is called for is collectivism. Another believes that any move in the direction of state intervention would land all humanity in reform. We agreed that while keeping rights of man we can build on them an economic regime of relative democracy, that as a matter of fact, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Denmark have gone along this way, and that in spite of logic, a mixed economy was possible. Staley will head up Pacific Coast Office of Institute of Pacific Relations. At 3:30, went out shopping with Catherine Huang for needs of my daughters. At 5:45, back in the hotel. At 6:30, conference with all Chinese in Washington connected with UNRRA 【聯合國善後救濟總署]. Told them about the work and organization of CNRRA 【行政院善後救濟總署]. At 8 p.m., took them to the Orient on Wisconsin for dinner. The place was terribly crowded. How Americans take to Chinese cooking is a wonder to me.
