Bent on trimming income taxes,

preserve other sources Of revenue to

As a result, taxes on liquor were
scheduled to remain at 50 a proof

CHINA:

Diplomatic eyes turned anxiously
to the Orient following the U. S. de-
cision to abandon its peace-making
in China and withdraw most Of the
$4,000 marines on duty there.
Concern was expressed lest U. S.
withdrawal would invite Russian in
PREVENTION in China on behalf Of the
Chinese Communists. While Sec
rotary Of State Marshall had dill
gently sought to bring the National
lists and Reds together during his
special peace mission, the U. S. had
proceeded on the assumption that
the Nationalists constituted the legal
government. In supporting the Ma
tionalists. the U. S. has advanced an
estimated ~ to 3 billion dollars Of
lend-lease. and also provided tech
nicians for training their military
forces.
Since the U. S. pulled out of China
without making any strategic ar
rangements, the Russians maintain
a distinct advantage in view of their
half-interest in the Manchurian rail.
road and their joint control Of Port
Arthur and Dairen. Russia's stra-
tegic position thus leaves Moscow
in a key position if it wishes to sup
ply Chinese Communists entrenched
in the north or actually intervene
on the pretext Of stabilizing condi-
tons in the Orient.
