against their opponents. Their lead
ers had been indoctrinated in the
special Communist schools in Mos
COW and Leningrad But the rank
and file-overwhelmingly peasants
lacked proper indoctrination and
fought with less zeal than Chiang's
| regulars
Russia. which never backs a lame
duck, is reported to have cooled con-
siderably toward the Yenan faction.
In spite of this happy turn, how
ever, Gen. Marshall is confronted
with the problem of having to take
a hand in untying the knot caused
by two distinct American policies
regarding China.
The White House favors the pol
icy established years ago by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of
State Hull which consists of sup
porting the legal government head
ed by Gen. Chang. The American
Government never has pledged it
self to assist the Central Govern
ment with armed forces to re-es-
tablish order in China. and Gen
Chang never has asked for such
support.
Gulf Between Policies.
But it did promise to give sup
plies and equipment to the general
issimo in the fight against Japan
and subversive elements within the
country. The administration real
lied that the cause of peace in
the Far East could be badly dam
aged by civil wars which have oc-
Cured between the forces of the
Central Government and the Chi
nese Communists.
The State Department, on the
other hand, has recently advocated
what many of its top policy trainers
describe as progressive democratic"
governments. A majority of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
after carefully reading some of the
important papers presented to them
in an executive session last Tues
day, became convinced that there
was gulf between the policies of
the White House and the State De-
partment. Because of this convic-
ton they decided to postpone
further investigation of the Hurley
incident" until Secretary of State
Byrnes returns from Moscow.
A number of Senators on that
committee are determined, however,
to proceed, either through Mr..
Byrnes or by themselves, with
house cleaning" of the State De-
partment.
Will Draft Own Directives.
Because of these distinct trends
the White House wishing to honor
fully the past pledges of the United
States toward an ally and the State
Department desiring to choose
middle of the road course favoring
the Yenan faction-Gen. Marshall
was instructed by the President to
draft his own directives and sub
NIT them to him for approval.
The new Ambassador is more IA
miliar eth the real situation in
China than most of the advisers
and policy trainers in the State De-
partment, because ever since he be-
came Chief of Staff he has had to
handle the political as well as the
military situation in the Far East.

The Russian Army in the Far East

bers have the will to use force

only a world power can make a

for the addition of the present set

The United States was not a mem

easy to remedy.
If the Dumbarton Oaks plan is ac-
cepted at San Francisco, the logical
next step would be for the League
to wind up its affairs. So far it is
still technically in existance, and
many of the member nations are
still paying their dues. If opposit-
ion to Dumbarton Oaks should be so
strong at San Francisco as to block
agreement, however, it is less likely

urgently demands rectification?
Sometimes the difference between
the politicians and the critics who
are so rarely able to find anything
very good to say about the former
ing. The critic gets the answer
first, and by the time the polite
ians has come up with it too, the
critic is again a few jumps ahead OF
him and again belaboring him for
lack of foresight. Political solut-
ions are nor or less imposed by
events. The difference between
good and bad political strategy may
often be nothing more than a funct-
ion of the length of time it takes a
given statesman, or a given admin
istration, or a given nation, to dis
cover which way events are tending
1t is no fun being right first. Cas-
sandra, as you recall, was both dis
disbelieved and disliked. She was
also right. To see a solution, or to
describe correctly a situation, be-
fore the politicians have seen or I'M
derstood means friction withoffic-
ialdom; and when it turns out that
the critic has been right and offic-
ialdom has to accept his solution OF
his view, it is not usual for the
politicians to remember that their
critics were right. They remember
Perhaps they recall, inwardly, that
they were right also, and that only
increases the irritation.
I remember irritating a good

they refer to Munich as a sell out

felt otherwise about it. 1 was
so unpopular with administration
circles (though I was not anti ad-
ministration myself) in the days
when l was fighting Americ's anti
