Forecast Change in U. S$. Policy in Sending

WASHINGTON, July 16.—Lt.
ment to a’ six-weeks fact-finding study in China and Korea forecasts al change in American policy. This may be the result of a desperate ef-| | fort to salvage something out of the situation, The appointment of Gen, Wedemeyer As a presidential envoy | Is 1t- it-

Gen. Wedemeyer Chins. He had’ even been fitted for his striped trousers. Then the selection was ‘“‘vetoed” by the Chinese Communists, Named in his stead was the aged missionary educator, Dr Leighton Stuart, objectionable to nobody. At the same time, Gen. George| C. Marshall was sent to China on| a special mission to. attempt to settle the civil war between Chiang Kai-shek's government and the Chinese Communists, The situation steadily has deter forated since then. Today it may be too late to do much. Left to’ Communists When Chiang ordered his Nationalist forces to “cease fire" at Gen. Marshall's urgent request, his armies were sweeping forward in southern Manchuria and stood al-| most at the gates of Boviet-held Dairen.
Now the Nationalists are packing |
out of Manchuria and the Shan-| leaving those vasti
tung peninsula, areas to the Chinese Communists, and possibly to the Russians, We imposed an arms embargo during the truce period, which has not been lifted cently to allow delivery to Chiang | of some rifle ammunition which bad been ordered under lend-lease. |
During the same fime the Chi- |
nese Communists acquired vast) quantities of equipment the Japs! Rad surréndered to the Russian | armies, The" Soviets conveniently left the arms where their Chinese collaborationists could find them. Loan Was Withheld When fighting was resumed after collapse of peace Chiang had lost the initiative to! the Communists. His WAI-WeALY | people, after a year's truce, were
ready for peace on almost any! tions. terms.
The Nationalist cause also lost fate before the world, as well as at hame. when a $500 million export. import bank loan was withheld and
finally canceled. Suspension of this |
anticipated aid started the inflationary spiral which now seems to have passed beyond any hope of control. Belatedly, we are about to “do something.” with the Wedemeyer mission serving as a springboard for reversal of our policy of drift. Facts aren't the prime need now because W. Walton Butterworth, American minister under Ambassa~ dor Stuart, recalled more than a week ago for consultation, will be here with a full report before the general's departure. Shot in the Arm The Korean part of Gen. Wedemeyer's assignment seems useless because we have two major generals on the spot, capable of reporting developments, The Wedemeyer appointment of ftself will be a shot in the arm to
