Chinese Chamber of Commerce, met secretly at the Chin Hsing Restaurant with
LIANG P'ei and KAO Chen--wu, both members of the i acao Chinese Chamber of
Commerce, to discuss methods to be used in obtaining contributions from the
Chinese residents of :aoao for the purchase of a plane for the Chinese
Communist Air Force. The meeting agreed that the fund must be obtained

Federation to cover his traveling expenses to his destination. In. early
June 30 Chinese workers were sent from 16aoao to the mainland under these
ax-rangewents. Ten more scare scheduled to leave about 22 June 1951.6
