Important Causes

China's only shortcoming-—and this is a very great one-—lies in her inability to train, arm and supply her manpower, and bring

The Communists used this heaven-sent-—or was it ‘made | America~respite to organize and train tens of thousands of new troops in Manchuria. During that period, when conceivably China might have over-powered com.nunism there, the United States wus withholding arms from China lest our “peace negotiations” be emL her
