In July of 1938 IPR obtained a grant of $90,000 from the [[Rockefeller Foundation]] to perform a study of Asia. Dr. [[Edward C. Carter]] was managing it. Lattimore wrote to Carter, “I think you were pretty cagey to turn over so much of the China section of the inquiry to Asiaticus, Han-seng and Chi.<ref>Hans Moeller, Chen Han-seng and Chi  Chao-ting.

They will bring out the essential [[radical]] aspects, but can be depended upon to do it with the right touch!” Lattimore went on to say "my hunch is that it will pay to keep behind the official Chinese Communist position, "  and  "as for the USSR&mdash;back their international policy in general, hut without using their slogans, and above all without giving them or anybody else the impression of subservience."<ref>United States Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security Hearings, July 26, 1951.</ref>  Lattimore recommended highly ''Challenge of Red China'', written by [[Guenther Stein]], a member of [[Richard Sorge]]'s Soviet spy ring in Japan. Of [[Israel Epstein]]'s ''Unfinished Revolution in China'' he said: "When he pleads his case the arguments pile up like a wedge." When Lattimore resigned as editor of ''Pacific Affairs'', he was succeeded by [[Michael Greenberg]], a Communist Party member. Lattimore then became a member of the editorial board of the notorious ''[[Amerasia]]'' magazine.
