Chinese communists were be
lieved by neutral observers to be
pressing nationalist forces stead
i ily back today on the plains of Su
chow.
Government assertions of victory
| were confused and conflicting. The
communist radio said Red forces
|
destroyed the nationalist seventh
| army group east of Suchow. The
loss of Suchow would open the
i gates to Nanking, the capital, less
1 than 200 miles away, and clear he
path to Shanghai, 165 miles south
east of Nanking. Officials at
i Shanghai talked of “total war”
j plans.
. Regardless of whether the com
: munists win all China, their
sweeps appeared certain to cost
i the United States more billions in
foreign aid. If President Truman
and secretary of state Marshall
decided China still could be saved
i from the Reds, Congress would
i have to be asked for the money, j
Should all China fall to the
communists, the task of rebuilding
Japan and providing her a stable
economy will be much more cost
ly, policy makers in Washington
said.
Additionally, there is always the
risk of building up some indirect
clash of American and Russian j
military power.
President Chiang Kai-Shek is
understood to have proposed the
U. S. send some military leader of !
great prestige to head the Ameri- j
can military mission in China.
Some Chinese said he had Gen.
Douglas MacArthur in mind.
There is little belief that the su
preme commander in Japan would
be moved from his present post.
Marshall talks with the Presi
dent again today and doubtless
China is still uppermost in both
minds.
The six neutral members of the
U. N. security council resumed the
task of trying to break the west
east deadlock over Berlin. They
sifted through questions answered
by the U. S., Russia, Britain and
France about the blockade the
Soviets imposed in June. They
hoped for a clue to break the cold
war.
The Russians posted guards at
the Berlin city hall to prevent
elected city government officials
from taking out any records. Some
believed this a preliminary to es
tablishing a hand picked commun
ist regime after city elections Dec.'
5, which the Russians have boy
co ted.
A Soviet bloc delegate told the
U. N. political committee Ameri
can nad British military interests
have wrecked the U. N. partition
plan for Palestine. The Soviet
Ukraine delegate said he commit
tee should order Arab troops to
leave Palestine.
The United States is seeking an
international agreement on the fu
ture of Italy’s former colonies of
Libia, Eritrea and Somaliland in
Africa. The task went to the U. N.
general assembly after Russia and
the western powers disagreed. The
security council scheduled a
Thursday meeting to seek means of
keeping peace between India and
Pakistan. The British dominions
are in an undeclared war over
Kashmir and at odds over the In
dian grab of Hyderabad State.
Gen. McaArthur denied clem
ency to all ‘he 25 top Japanese
war criminals and ordered the ex
ecution of wartime Premier Hide
ki Tojo and six others.
Serious trouble, hidden by cen
sorship was astir in Venezuela.
