and if you want proof look at the

accepted me for the fourth time.
They're wonderful and I can't help
but work hard for them and feel
good toward them.

tougher than we are. We have good

We may be the team that will be

so badly that they try too hard to

against me and help whip them

I like to make those other teams

Gen. George C. Marshall, President
Truman's special envoy. understands
the situation well and has so far
done an excellent job. He was pro-
posed by Gen. Chang and accepted
by the Communists as the arbiter
in the present negotiations.
Whether any strings were attached
to his role as an arbiter is not
known. But, in any event, Gen.
Marshall's directives do not give
him a completely free hand. His
attitude must be. regulated by the
wishes and the policies of the State
Department.
Mr.. Byrnes spoke in his broadcast
last Sunday about the necessity of
terminating the civil strife in China
which has been placed on an equal
footing with the other great powers
in the UNO and in the new setup
in Japan. But he did not elaborate
on the subject.
Ambassador Wei is believed to
have obtained a more complete
expose of what the State Depart
ment expects the Central govern
ment to do in order to bring about
the unification of China, by making
certain political concessions to the
Yenan organization.
The Chungking government does
not oppose the Communists entry
in the government, but is reported
to be adamant on the matter of
