General George Marshall warns China on Memorial Day
General George Marshall, America’s special envoy to China, warned on Memorial Day in Nanking that China now trembles on the verge of a greater calamity than its civil war. He urged leaders to abandon suspicion and hatred as Communist and nationalist forces collide, with Manchuria a key battleground and Chiang Kai-shek’s forces facing a Red surge.

James Marlow argues that John L Lewis dominated public perception of the coal strike through rhetoric and silence, shaping a narrative that favored his goals.
