United States Economic And Military Assistance To China, 1937-1941

The problem presented to the writer has been an examination of United States economic and military assistance to China from the Marco Polo Bridge incident of July 7, 1937, until the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941. To properly evaluate this assistance, attention must be given to assistance furnished by China from other nations, the unique problems of transportation to that nation under Japanese blockade, and the general state of changing world affairs at that time.
