Your telegram No. 34 of February 8. UNRRA Committee of the Council for the Far East resolution to convene an ad hoc Committee on Welfare for the Far East to meet in March. Canadian Government could not even consider sending a government welfare specialist for these meetings without a much fuller statement from you of the need for such Canadian participation. We wonder if it would not be possible for you or another officer of the Embassy to attend if you think it desirable and seek technical advice, if needed, from some Canadian engaged in welfare work there. We understand, for instance, that two Canadians with welfare work experience in Canada and China, Miss Anne Davidson, child welfare specialist with the American Advisory Committee, and Miss Marion Menzies, now Assistant to the Director of the Bureau of General Affairs, CNRRA,111 are both in Shanghai at present and there would likely be others there with similar qualifications who could act as advisers or even attend as Canadian representatives. 111Chinese National Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. | |
