UNSETTLED CHINA
COMMUNISTS TO MEET GENERAL MARSHALL
Recd. 5:5 p.m. Yenan. Dec. 23. Chu Teh, the Red Comrriander-in-Chief, said that as a gesture of the Communist desire for peace the Communist forces which besieged the Inner Mongolian cities of Paotow, Kweismi, and Tatung had been withdrawn, although the military situation there was favourable. He added that Communist delegates were fully empowered to deal immediately and directly with General Marshall (the United States Ambassador to Csina), and as soon as a Coalition Government was established, the Communists were ready to dissolve their armed forces, except the 20 divisions agreed upon. He said the American forces in China can achieve internal accord by carrying out President TruTnan’s policy of restricting their tasks. “If it is true the State Department has ordered the Americans to cease transportation of Central troops to North China, then it is not 100 late to avoid a full scale civil war,” he said.
