From 1943 he was chief of the Far Eastern division of the Office of War Information. After World War II, he visited Japan as a member of the Japan Reparations Mission in October 1945, and had a considerable influence on the early occupation policy.

From that year until 1970 he was a professor at the University of Leeds in England, and later became director of the Lattimore Institute of Mongol Studies in Paris.
