Says Chiang Wants War
01.30 a.m.) SHANGHAI, June 25. Dr Tao Heng-chi, spokesman for 54 anti-civil war groups, demanded that United States forces quit China and America cease all aid to China.
Dr Tao expressed the opinion that Chiang Kai-shek wanted civil war and peace would be hastened by removing the Government’s advantage over the Communists afforded by American aid.
Meantime, the Communist leader Mao Tse-tung’s charges are causing grave concern at General Marshall’s headquarters. One informant pointed out that America’s military aid bill now before Congress was drafted with a view to helping both sides.
Other American sources described Tao’s statement as “outright propaganda designed to influence American opinion.”
[Mao Tse-tung, in a statement issued at his Yenan headquarters, declared that United States Army and Navy forces in China had become a grave menace to national peace and security. He added that the Chinese people felt the departure of American forces mas long overdue and their presence was a fundamental cause of civil war in China. Therefore, the Communists resolutely opposed American military aid. which, in fact, only interfered with Chinese internal affairs].
