A Delicate Affair in China Sees Marshall's Peace Efforts Falter
Shanghai, Apr 18. General Marshall’s fragile peace plan in China, built on a truce between Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang and the Communists, has begun to crack during his absence of five weeks. Manchuria’s fighting and party tensions threaten a coalition and the possible reopening of a one party rule. Marshall faces pressure to restore unity, manage assemblies, and decide whether to withhold U.S. aid or shift support if either side fails to honor agreements.
