There is a very great difference between the liberal element in China and the Communists.

In an endeavor to assist the Chiang Kai-shek government to meet the situation with which it was confronted.

The Chinese Communists are those people who believe in government from the top-the totalitarian state.

I hope Secretary Anderson stays in the Cabinet. He is a good Secretary of Agriculture, and has done an excellent job.

If he asks to see the President, of course I will be courteous to him.
