With reference to your letter No. F.10102/28/10 of the 13th September regarding the transit of

arms and ammunition across Burma to China, I am

by the United States Government should be given to

them.

Copies of this letter are being sent to the Admiralty, Board of Trade, Colonial Office and

Ministry of Economic Warfare.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Under Secretary of State,
