The table aims to extract essential information from Arnold's weekly office reports (or despatches) related to the daily work of the American commercial attache in China. Every report at the time was divided into two main section : "personnel" and "economic section". This table focuses on the "economic section". Each report is given its exact date (year, month, start/end day), its author's name and position, its topic and source references (archival records and page number in the digital copy).
