age" Gen. Chou told press con-
ference. e
only when these are effected will
Allied help be beneficial. Other
wise, careless assistance " will
rouse the Chinese people and in
crease disorders. We Chinese people
and we Communists don't want such
help"
Associates said Gen. Chou re-
ferred particularly to a huge Amer
ican loan the Chang Kai-shek gov
ernment is negotiating with assist
ance of Gen. Marshall, President
Truman's special envoy to China,
who now is in Washington.
Gen. Chou charged that the Chi
nese government was seeking. to
make Manchuria great garrison
with more than half a million
troops. He said that was in vio-
lation of the spirit Of the recent
political unification agreement.
Government spokeSmen have as
serted that it does not.
He said his party would not par
ticipate in reorganization OF the
Chinese government-on an all
party basis-unless the Kuomintang
agreed to abide by decisions of the
recent political unity conference and
ceased attempts to put Manchuria
outside the control of those agree
ments. Gen. Marshall helped effect
the pact.
Gen. Chou also renewed Com
munist demand that the United
States cease transporting Govern
ment troops into Manchuria.
