Mme Chiang Mission Fails as Nanking Warned
The United States seems ready to write off China as a loss while focusing on a non Communist Western Europe. Mme Chiang Kai-Shek’s Washington mission and appeals to Secretary of State and the President failed to shift American policy. Government and diplomats view her regime as faltering and only a military miracle could alter U.S. support. In Nanking a Chinese Communist advance 50 miles from the capital threatens the Yangtze defense line and may force retreat to the river.
