In the early part of 1941 Currie was sent to be Head of the Economic Mission to China as personal envoy of the President to  confer with Chiang Kai-shek and other leading executives of the Kuomintang. Currie studied Chinese arsenals, military training schools, and industrial cooperatives while in China. Although his report had not been made public, he appears to have studied the economic structure in general and its special problems of currency and transportation.  Currie later spent a few days in New Delhi, India, and returned to the United States on August 20, 1942.
