SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
LexisNexis microfilmed American War Production Mission in China, 1944–1945, Part
1: Correspondence and Reports, from the holdings at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in
Hyde Park, New York. The collection chronicles the mission from its inception during the
first advisory trip of U.S. War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson to China in
1944 until its termination in late 1945. Correspondence, memoranda, cables, and reports
compose most of the material; they are arranged as subject files in alphabetical order.
Authorized by President Roosevelt, the American War Production Mission in China was
meant to serve both a short-term and a long-term purpose. On the one hand, it was intended
to help bolster Chinese industrial production as the Allies concentrated their efforts on
defeating Japan. On the other, it was meant to lay the groundwork for a strong Chinese
economy 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 who
met with Chinese government officials, toured factories, and compiled reports on various
industries to determine the current state of the Chinese economy, make recommendations for
its 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 the
Nelson Mission. From this initial review of the Chinese industrial situation, Nelson
recommended the creation of a Chinese War Production Board along the lines of the
American War Production Board. Upon his return to the United States, Nelson advised the
president on October 4, 1944, of a number of steps the United States should undertake to
strengthen China’s war economy. Steps included substantially strengthening the Foreign
Economic Administration’s Economic Mission at Chungking, establishing a joint China–
United States Production Committee to coordinate the supply and production problems of the
two countries, and allocating aircraft to the China National Aviation Corporation for the
India-China service. The president asked Nelson to make another trip to China after
receiving Nelson’s recommendations and a request from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek that
Nelson 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 on
November 16, 1944, as the personal representative of the president. He was joined by
Locke; Jacobson; Howard Coonley, deputy in charge of the mission and formerly director of
conservation, War Production Board; five iron and steel specialists; and one alcohol
production specialist. Others would join the mission later. Together, these men worked to
provide China with much-needed assistance as the war against Japan came to a close. Upon
the war’s completion, their mission was renamed the American Production Mission. It was
terminated in November, 1945 and Locke, who had replaced Nelson as leader following
Nelson’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. They
gave 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 provide
detailed information on types of industrial equipment used, chemical processes, and
v
production statistics. Their presence in the collection allows the researcher an approximation
of the understanding of the state of Chinese industrialization that Donald Nelson and his
assistants faced as they sought to remedy problems and improve the flow of the Chinese
economy.
The collection features information on American efforts to accelerate the transportation of
lend-lease goods to China from storage places in India, including the allocation of American
planes to the China National Aviation Corporation, and general information on improving
supply routes in China. It also contains correspondence pertaining to the efforts of American
businesses to train Chinese workers in their respective crafts, such as the Chrysler
Corporation’s maintenance, repair, and training program to augment the Chinese automotive
industry. The collection additionally includes reports and correspondence concerning general
Chinese 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 files
containing newspaper clippings germane to the mission. Included among these are articles
dealing with the ouster of Joseph Stilwell following his disagreements with Chiang Kai-shek
and others that deal with the question of how to come to terms with the Chinese civil war
while 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.
