Kenneth on the Chungking Project

Kenneth on the Chungking Project

Kenneth now tells of the Chungking project. This was a possible venture in India and China to tap possible sources of information in Thailand and Indochina, and it was to be based in Chungking. Kenneth was seriously considering going out and setting up the organization to do the work. Donovan proposed the project and David Bruce was to head it, but the project never panned out. To judge from Kenneth's letters, this was a very serious project for a time. And then, the project fizzled out because the Japanese drove into southern China.
