Communists push peace talks with preconditions in China

They demanded steps to prevent the escape of war criminals including Chiang Kai-shek and extradition of Japanese general Okamura. They accused Nanking of preparing war while talking peace and warned of further lists of war criminals. An American embassy plane landed in Hong Kong due to weather, while a Chinese Russian trade treaty was expected to be signed linking Sinkiang privileges to Moscow.
