We agree the ECAFE should consider plans for developing industry
in the Far Eastern region. In fact, this is perhaps its most
important long-term function and industrial development would,
inter alia, avoid continuance of Japanese domination of Far
Eastern markets. [1]
You should, however, keep in mind instructions contained in our
143 [2] and avoid any discussion on Japanese levels of industry,
reparations from current production to build up other Far Eastern
economies etc.
