# COORDINATOR OF INFORMATIONJ.I.C. ccting, May 12, 1982 - Statement of irs. Claro Lice## I BackgroundMrs. Luce travelled to the Middle and Far east via the Trans-african ferry route, visiting Dung, India, and the Middle East. She had extensive opportunities for formal and informal conversation with the major military and political figures, as well as various operating airmen, soldiers, and correspondents. She carefully distinguished the quality of her sources, indicating where her views were based on observed facts, official statements, or gossip.## II Burma and ChinaMrs. Luce arrived at Lashio at the time of the visit of Chiang and Madame Chiang. Their intervention was required not only to facilitate cooperation between the British and General Stillwell's Chinese forces, but also to enforce discipline on the Chinese generals nominally under Stillwell. It was rumored that a major opportunity to defeat the Japanese was lost at Tongou duo to the unwillingness of the Chinese generals to obey Stillwell and attack. The arrival of the Chiangs was immediately known to the Japanese who bombed the headquarters area for the first time in force. Mandalay, which Mrs. Luce saw immediately after the main bombing attack early in April, was leveled and deserted, with two to five thousand dead left in the ruins.In a long-conversation with Madame Chiang great bitterness was expressed against the British. Madame Chiang went back to Hong Kong, the Treaty Forts, and the opium war, ending up with Wavell's failure to accept Chinese assistance in Burma. Madame Chiang indicated, however, that she would not accept a negotiated peace under any circumstances with the Japanese, recalling the Japanese occupation of Nanking. Under questioning Mrs. Luce stated that she did not believe the Japanese would move in force against China. All Intelligence sources in Chunking believe that the Japanese will move against Russia before June of this year. As for India Mrs. Luce stated that a full-fledged invasion by land forces seemed unlikely in the immediate future, but that bombing attacks on the Calcutta area were very likely -- these designed to exploit the political instability there and the concentration of Indian industrial strength.In general Mrs. Luce believes that the British in Burma fought as well as their resources permitted. The R.A.F. was bombed out of Magwe early, leaving the main operations without air protection. The British claim that their radio directional finders were sabotaged by the Burmese Fifth Column; elsewhere gossip stated that the finders had been withdrawn prior to the Japanese attack. The one hundred British tanks proved ineffective as the main highway, on which they could operate, was flanked by forests through which the Japanese filtered. The presence of American technicians in the Burma oil fields probably guaranteed thorough destruction. Elsewhere there was "no earth worth scorching". The British General Alexander expressed the general belief that the failure in Burma was, in the long run, unimportant; that after the defeat of Hitler the Japanese could easily be
[104-10174-10071.pdf — page 14]
- 2 -ariven out. This blandness seened to characterize-the view of almostall Britishers in the Far East, although the vicercy of India expressedregret that, for the sake of the Indians, British control in India would"not survive another fifty years".lirs. Luce visited the headquarters of the A.V.G.. She expressed thehope that they would not be kept alive as a unit, but that their experiencein fighting Japanese planes would be transferred to American pilots intraining, especially at Karachi. She felt that neither the A.V.G. nor GeneralStillwell should return to China, despite their obvious value in maintainingand American link ami american prestige. General Stillwell has apparentlycist nguished himself, under nost trying circumsta.ces, by his comradeshipwith the Chinese and his willingness to share front-line cangers and hard-ships. At a time when the Chinese are extremely sensitive, General Still-well's attitudo and action were of great importance.### IndiaIndian morale is extremely low, lover in fact than before the CrippsMission. The net result of the Mission appears merely to have strengthenedGandhi and the policy of passive resistance. Mrs. Luce believes, however,that, in a short run at least, there is nothing wrong with the morale ofthe Indians and the Chinese that could not be corrected by a couple ofsubstantial victories. Tavell, in a letter to rs. Luce éxpressed himselfas more concerned about I dian norele and possible military consequencesof that situation, than with the strictly military aspects of defense.rs. Luce spoke very highly of General Brereton as a member "of that newrace, the air man". It is Brereton's view that no important action should.be taken by the air force under his command until they are in a positionof local superiority; he did, however, "lear a little", by bombing the AndamanIslands and Kangoon. Ers. Luce believes that a first-line air force main-tained at 300 planes in India could defeat the Japanese in any move in thetdirection.### Middle FastGeneral Faxwell is reported to be extremely popular in the MiddleEast; while General Adler was unpopular, possibly due to his forthrightnessin criticising the British methods. ars. Luce visited the most advancedtank station in the British controlled desert area. She found numerouscomplaints, not specified, about American equipment. In general, however,she holds that the British have cone a good job in the desert.The British in Cairo have had extensive and chronic difficulties withtheir various allies. A Jugoslav revolution alnost took place in Cairowhile she was there. The Poles, Jugoslavs and French appear unwilling toenter British air units but hold out for independent air squadrons. Theone hundred thousand Foles, "dunged across the border by Russia" werereported by gossip to have been turned down by wavell and Auchinlech,successively, and then shipped to Britain. Mrs. Luce stated that the
[104-10174-10071.pdf — page 15]
-3-British have been propped by their own propaganda on behalf of their minor allies; and that the allies now overestimate their contribution to the waveffort and steadily make trouble.The biggest problem, however, throughout Africa and the Middle East, is that of inducing a shorter turn around for shipping. At every port the complaint is the same, to blaze bein distributed between British administrators and the American Maritime Unions. The flow of planes over the Trans-African route was, at the time of Mrs. Luce's passage, very thin. She reported heavy fighter plane losses by crack-up; and a total lack of preparedness against air attack (in Liberia, Takorodi, Lagos, Fort Lazy, etc.).Mrs, Luce passed along a statement from a Free French administrator in Lagos that extensive air preparations are under way in morocco; and she quoted Purry Jester, American Consul at Lagos, now in the United States, as believing that it would still be possible to win over various Vichy agents and territories in West Africa.W.

# ABSTRACT OF ELLE 1896Subjects Report of Perry N. Jester re Organization of Consular Service in West AfricaTo: Prank Vauran1. Mr. Kauran believes that "American activities (presumably all activities besides shipping) must be coordinated."2. Mr. Jester believes his reports and recommendations to the State Department are filed without adecuate tudy.3. Hr. Jestor remarks that "one of our most important and urgent needs....is a better set up of our consular representation (in host Africa)". He is "firaly conviced" thetsa. The Lagos office should be a Consulate-General.b. That other consular representatives in British West Aprica should report through and coordinate with the Lagos office.c. That independently reporting consuls at other posts in British best Africa should not be appointed.d. That the Consul General should be a ranking Foreirn Service Officer (of Class 4) middle-aged and experienced.e. That the U. 5. Consular organization in Best Africa should be set up in accord with the controlling economic and political factors on the coast.f. That the best organization would be as follows:Laos Consul General (to be concerned with "larger issues of our over-all policy, our trade policy, our relations with west Arrican governments, the effect of British Colonial policy on our interests and the relations (in cooperation ith an independent American Consultar) of British and ?rench colonies and policies.

2. Two Consular officers (to be concerned with Nigerian problems alone.)Accra - Che Consul (to be concerned with Gold Coast problems, Accra being the military center or P.W.A. and of importance principally for the shipment of bauxite, mahogany and manganese).Freetown - One Consular Agent (because of the Naval importance of Freetown).Bathurst - One Consular Agent (because of the importance of this point to air communications). This would be welcomed by the Governor of Gambia.These recommendations and opinions and the irregular method used of bringing them to attention are arrived at from a consideration of the following points:a. Mr. Jester has no personal interest since his tour of West Africa is almost finished.b. Lagos is the political and economic center of British West Africa with a larger territory, larger population, and larger commerce than any other colony.c. Lagos is the seat of the British West African Governor's Conference and this arrangement after the war is believed certain to continue and to develop into a Governor Generalship of British West Africa.d. The headquarters of the principal oil, shipping and trading companies is at Lagos.e. Lagos was the site of headquarters of the Franck Economic Mission.f. Not only now but after the war West Africa will be of increasing importance to the U.S. since British discrimination against U.S. trade will inevitably decline and development of our opportunities could now be implemented by strong and efficient consular representation.4.

Could like to see him for about an hour. CSF had suggested I ask Doris Shub to arrange the appointment.I phoned Boris Shub, and phoned Scherer back that Shub would meet him at 10.30 a.m. tomorrow in the bookstore below (?) the IL office at 7 E. 15 St. Shub will introduce Scherer to Levitas at 11.Re PICTO BOOKBoris said there are 3 matters which *we can live without*, but it would distinctly strengthen the book if you could perhaps get them at the Library of Congress,1.  It is conceivable that there exist photos of crowds being fired upon in Nov.-Jan. 1918-1919, in connection with rioting on the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly. (See Shub's *Lenin*).2.  Fighting in Moscow, Nov. 1917 (There was no fighting in Petersburg).3.  Collectivization. Some think it is conceivable there exist photos of peasants being shipped north to Siberia during Collectivization. Cf. CIA Graphics? Cf. Library of Congress.PO RUSSIANS AS ALLIESBoris has just heard from a Russian friend, and has sent to London for confirmation -seen nothing in the papers about it here- that there has been formed in London a BRITISH SOCIETY FOR A FREE RUSSIA, with Major Hilton (author and ex-military attache in Moscow) as president and the Duchess of Atholl as vice-president.
