根据丹尼尔森的说法,最近在二战期间中国财政部长和外交部长宋子文的私人文件中发现了一些长期猜测的答案。宋子文的家人在20世纪70年代开始将这些文件存放在胡佛,但出于对蒋介石夫人的隐私的尊重,在蒋介石的遗孀和宋子文的妹妹在世时,大部分收藏都受到限制。她去世后,该家族允许胡佛在去年4月打开19个档案盒,其中包括有关该家族财务的信息。"不仅在中国的媒体上,而且在美国的教科书上,[有]各种关于宋子文被盗的神话;他是自成吉思汗以来世界上最富有的人......[所有]因为没有文件,"丹尼森说。"现在有文件了。他不是一个穷人,但他也不是富可敌国的人"。

According to Danielson, answers to some longstanding speculation recently have been found in the private papers of T. V. Soong, finance minister of China and its foreign minister during World War II. Soong's family began depositing the papers at Hoover in the 1970s, but much of the collection was restricted during the lifetime of Madame Chiang Kai-shek, the leader's widow and Soong's sister, out of respect for her privacy. After her death, the family permitted Hoover to open 19 file boxes last April that included information about the family's finances. "Not only in the Chinese press, but in American textbooks, [there was] all kinds of mythology about T. V. Soong's stolen billions; that he was the richest man in the world since Genghis Khan … [all] because there was no documentation," Danielson said. "Now there are documents. He was not a poor man, but he wasn't fabulously wealthy either."
