Commander King-Hailasked the Prime Minister whether there has been arranged an exchange of senior staff officers between the Chinese High Command and the British Commander-in-Chief in the Far East, with a view to ensuring close co-ordination of all operations being carried out by China and ourselves and the Allies against Japan?
§ Mr. AttleeWhile it would not be in the public interest to go into detail on a matter of this kind, I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that our arrangements for co-ordination with the Chinese High Command are well advanced.
