CHINESE opinion regards the
Military Assistance Bill" as
transition from piece-meal and
partially disguised help to the
Kuomintang dictatorship to sys,
tematic and open aid for its war
against the people.
That, and not ingratitude for
American help against Japan, is
the reason why more and more
Chinese are demonstrating
against United States policy and
for withdrawal of American
troops.
Here is the record:
While America trained and
equipped only twenty divisions
of Chinese troops during the en-
tire period of war with Japan,
she has groomed forty Kuomin-
tang divisions for civil war since
w Day.
UNITED States Lend-Lease for
this purpose has amounted to
S60O,0OO,OOO, an amount almost
equal to that received Dy China
while we were fighting the Japa-
nese.
Despite the provisions of the
kuomintang Communist Truce

stipulated that no more than five
kuomintang armies were to be
stationed in Manchuria, Ameri-
can warships have carried nine

Council Hands Macarthur
First Major Reversal
By rhe Assoeiofsd Press

TOKYO, Aug. 21.-Gen. MacAr-
thur met his first major reversal to-
day at the hands of the four-power
Allied Council for Japan.
Council members-after they had
been given time to consult their gov
ernments-rejected his proposal
that seven other Allies be invited to
send delegates to Council discussion
meetings.
British and Russian Council men,
bers, however, were similarly blocked
when they urged that Gen. MacAr-
thur give the council his views on
each Council recommendation. Rus
sia's 1t. Gen. Kuzma Derevyanko
had advanced this proposal and the
British Commonwealth member, w.
MacMahon Ball, supported it with
the comment that knowing Gen.
MacArthur's attitude would be help
full.
At present, Mr.. Ball said, the
Council advances proposals without
knowing how Gen. Macarthur re-
ceives them: 1T Is like posting a
letter and not knowing II it
ever reaches its destination"
But the American chairman,
George c. Atcheson, jr., said he
could not commit Macarthur to any
such procedure.
