SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTELexisNexis microfilmed American War Production Mission in China, 1944–1945, Part
1: Correspondence and Reports, from the holdings at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library inHyde Park, New York. The collection chronicles the mission from its inception during thefirst advisory trip of U.S. War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson to China in1944 until its termination in late 1945. Correspondence, memoranda, cables, and reportscompose most of the material; they are arranged as subject files in alphabetical order.
Authorized by President Roosevelt, the American War Production Mission in China wasmeant to serve both a short-term and a long-term purpose. On the one hand, it was intendedto help bolster Chinese industrial production as the Allies concentrated their efforts ondefeating Japan. On the other, it was meant to lay the groundwork for a strong Chineseeconomy in the postwar period. To that end, Donald Nelson and his assistants, Edwin A.Locke Jr. and James A. Jacobson, presided over a team of American industrial experts whomet with Chinese government officials, toured factories, and compiled reports on variousindustries to determine the current state of the Chinese economy, make recommendations forits improvement, and provide assistance to their Chinese counterparts along the way.
Nelson’s first trip to China, from August 25 to September 24, 1944, was referred to as theNelson Mission. From this initial review of the Chinese industrial situation, Nelsonrecommended the creation of a Chinese War Production Board along the lines of theAmerican War Production Board. Upon his return to the United States, Nelson advised thepresident on October 4, 1944, of a number of steps the United States should undertake tostrengthen China’s war economy. Steps included substantially strengthening the ForeignEconomic Administration’s Economic Mission at Chungking, establishing a joint China–United States Production Committee to coordinate the supply and production problems of thetwo countries, and allocating aircraft to the China National Aviation Corporation for theIndia-China service. The president asked Nelson to make another trip to China afterreceiving Nelson’s recommendations and a request from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek thatNelson be sent back to China as soon as possible to assist with China’s reconstruction.
The American War Production Mission began when Nelson returned to Chungking onNovember 16, 1944, as the personal representative of the president. He was joined byLocke; Jacobson; Howard Coonley, deputy in charge of the mission and formerly director ofconservation, War Production Board; five iron and steel specialists; and one alcoholproduction specialist. Others would join the mission later. Together, these men worked toprovide China with much-needed assistance as the war against Japan came to a close. Uponthe war’s completion, their mission was renamed the American Production Mission. It wasterminated in November, 1945 and Locke, who had replaced Nelson as leader followingNelson’s resignation on May 15, 1945, submitted his report to the president on December 18,1945.
Mission participants researched every industry that was relevant to the war effort. Theygave particular focus to the iron and steel industry, electric power production, coal mining,alcohol and auto fuel, textiles, and munitions. Reports on these and other industries providedetailed information on types of industrial equipment used, chemical processes, and
vi
production statistics. Their presence in the collection allows the researcher an approximationof the understanding of the state of Chinese industrialization that Donald Nelson and hisassistants faced as they sought to remedy problems and improve the flow of the Chineseeconomy.
The collection features information on American efforts to accelerate the transportation oflend-lease goods to China from storage places in India, including the allocation of Americanplanes to the China National Aviation Corporation, and general information on improvingsupply routes in China. It also contains correspondence pertaining to the efforts of Americanbusinesses to train Chinese workers in their respective crafts, such as the ChryslerCorporation’s maintenance, repair, and training program to augment the Chinese automotiveindustry. The collection additionally includes reports and correspondence concerning generalChinese economic policy, inflation, and foreign trade.
The folders contain numerous documents pertaining to the mission’s personnel,organization, and logistical arrangements and requirements. The collection also includes filescontaining newspaper clippings germane to the mission. Included among these are articlesdealing with the ouster of Joseph Stilwell following his disagreements with Chiang Kai-shekand others that deal with the question of how to come to terms with the Chinese civil warwhile the conflict with Japan was ongoing. Notable correspondents include Donald M.Nelson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Chiang Kai-shek, James A. Jacobson, and Edwin A.Locke Jr.
