In his discussion Of State Department al
fairs and policies Secretary Marshall de-
clares the withdrawal Of Marines from
China was automatic, once it was decided
TO end mediation efforts. He did not at
this time explain why mediation efforts
were terminated, but in his statement on
January 7 Mr.. Marshall wrote, "....a
very harmful and immensely provocative
phase Of Chinese communist party pro-
cedure has been in the character Of its
propaganda. I wish 10 state TO the Ameri-
can people that in the deliberate misrep-
resentation and abuse of the action, poll
cies and purposes Of our government this
propaganda has been without regard for
truth, without any regard whatsoever for
the facts, and has given plain evidence
of a determined purpose 10 mislead the
Chinese people and the world and 10 arouse
a bitter haired Of Americans. -"
That this is moi without basis in fact
is we'll proved by public utterances Of
General Chou En-lai, the Chinese COM
munist leader. In a radio Interview on
December 29 last he said: president Tru-
mans reaffirmation Of China policy does
not represent true American public
opinion" This is reported by the Asso-
ciated Press, which further quotes Gen
eral Chou as saying: Truman talks OF
avoiding involvement Of the United States
in China's civil strife but the fact remains
that he is the maker and inspirer Of this
strife"
Earlier, on December l8, A. P. cores
pondent John Roderick, reported General
Chou saying in an Interview:
America will soon be isolated among
the family Of nations if she persists in her
present China policy" He also suggested
that a close watch he kept on Shanghai
this winter. Recent strikes there were
mere curtain %raisers TO what will follow
as thousands driven by desperation and
hunger begin protest" This is in accor-
dance with the resolutions passed Novem-
Der Is by the gathering Of Chinese Com
munisi commanders at KEENAN,, which
reads, Commencing from December 1916,
riots and assassinations be plotted in all
leading cities"
Secretary fhen GeneraD Marshall, in
his January 7 statement said: The Ma
tional Assembly (of China) has adopted
a constitution which in all major respects
is in accordance with the principles laid
down by the all-part Political Consulta-
tive Conference Of last January. II is I'M
fortunate that the communists did not sec
tit 10 participate in the Assembly since
the Constitution that has bee nadopted
seems 10 include every major point tina
they wanted."
Bear in mind that the communists did
not officially attend or participate in the
conference. 1t is significant. On Deem
her 10 last General Chou in a public
speech said: Since the conclusion Of the
war, the altitude Of the Chinese communi-
SIS and the people has been consistently
IN line with the P. P. c. political Con-
sultative Conference) directions so that
democracy and independence can be
achieved"
Clearly General (now Secretary Marsh
allS declaration that Chinese communist
propaganda is shot through with "deliber-
ate Misrepresentation and abuse Of the
action, policies and purposes of our GOV
eminent" is proved by General Chou's
public assertions.
