Changes

In 1942, Lattimore wrote a Foreign Policy Report (September 1, 1942) called ''Asia in a New World Order''. By this time the United States was at war with Japan. Japan had taken Manchuria. Lattimore alters his picture of Manchuria.  He abandons his old line that Manchuria is not Chinese but Mongolian and asserts it is "95 per cent Chinese" and points out that it is a mistake, merely because the country is called Manchuria, to think that the people are not Chinese.

In July of 1938 IPR had a grant of $90,000 from the [[Rockefeller Foundation]] to make a study. 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.  Source: U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Report on the Institute of Pacific Relations, Washington 1952.</ref>. 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—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 a member of the [[Richard Sorge]] ring in Japan—[[Guenther Stein]]. 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 he was succeeded by [[Michael Greenberg]], a Communist Party member. Lattimore then became a member of the editorial board of another IPR organ, the notorious ''[[Amerasia]]'' magazine.
