According to information provided by
Special Political the U.S. Chiefs of Staff to the British Distribution.
Chiefs of Staff at the Potsdam Conference,
an offensive is contemplated by American
trained Chinese Forces in the direction
of Canton and Hong Kong in the fairly
hear future. Matter is therefore urgent.

NO.
and General Carton de Wiart have formed the
impression that General wedemeyer is
personally opposed to any action by the
British in China directed to the
re-occupation of Hong Kong. This makes
it all the more important that we should
assure ourselves of the support and
cooperation of the U.S. Government before
approaching Chiang Kai-shek.
