Series IX, China Office Files - (1942-1950)contains the correspondence of the office which UCR/USC maintained in several successive Chinese cities to handle distribution of its funds and to oversee its activities in China. Most of the correspondence is with UCR/USC Headquarters in New York and deals primarily with financial matters, the security of the messages which they are transmitting, and the interference of the Chinese government in their activities. This correspondence is made up of telegrams and letters, each of which was assigned a number when it was sent out. This was in order to detect possible tampering with the mail by the Chinese government. UCR's plan was to keep track of the numerical sequence to determine if any numbers were missing, so that they would know if the Chinese had suppressed one of their letters.
