'Pretty Rough'
In Old Days
WILLIAMSTOWN, Vt. -MUP)-Mobert
Clogston, who retired re
cently after 39 years as a rural
mall carrier, recalls that it was
"pretty rough" when he started
the job.
Clogston said he started work
ing for the post office at the age
of 21. In (hose days, he had to get
up ut 4 a.m., do the chores on his
fumily's farm and start his mail
route at 7 A.M.
There were many winter days
when he had to walk behind his
sleigh and hold it upright as he
plowed through' drifted snow. He
spent a full day covering his 25
mile route.
When the automobile became
the rural letter carrier' sgreatest
asset, Clogston was able to cover
his route in a few hours except
when the New England winters
made the going tough."
strongly opposed to any such ar
rangement. So are the Chinese
Communists.
The Nationalists feel a cease
fire might prevent them Jrom en
deavoring to accomplish their aim
of getting back to the mainland.
Communists Blamed
The Communists say they are
opposed becuse they are deter
mined to carry out their plans
to capture Formosa.
Failure of cease-fire efforts In
the past generally has . been due
lo the attitude and actions of the
Communists.
In August of 1945, Immediately
after the Japanese offered to sur
render, Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek invited Mao Tse-tung to visit
him in Cungking. . ..
The Communists then were very
weak. The Nationalist government
extended the olive branch in an ef
fort Jo unite China and begin post
war reconstruction work.
By October 6, 1945, some prog
ress had been made. On that date
a joint Chiang-Mao declaration an
nounced that agreement had been
reached. There were still some
remaining problems, it was ad
mitted, but these were to be set
tled by a political consultative con
ference.' Before the end of the month,
the Communists had rejected the
Nationalist' compromise offer and
had launched an aggressive at
tack. Fighting spread to pro
vinces. Cain New Strength
By this time the military
strength of the Communists had
been greatly increased: The Rus
sians had turned over to the Reds
large numbers of guns and great
quantities - of ammunition taken
from the surrendering Japanese
forces.
In December, 1945, Gen. George
C Marshall. U. S.. special envoy
arrived in Chungking and began
his ill-fated efforts to arrange a
cease-fire. . , , .
The Communists, on Jan. 10,
1946, agreed "in principle"' that
hostilities should cease, but con
tinued their military operations in
violation of the agreement.
The Communists blamed Gen.
Marshall for the failure of the
truce. ' '
. Aggression Continues
On Jan. 29, 1947, the U. S. State
Department announced the aban
donment of American efforts to
mediate between the Chinese gov
ernment and the Communists.
The next day Communist spokes
man Wang Ping-nam announced
the decision of the Reds to Im
pose their- political demands on
the government by, "force of
arms." ,
Throughout 1947, the . Commu
nists continued to reject all Na
tionalist peace and cease-fire of
fers, and continued their military
aggression. '
, In 1949, the Chinese Nationalist
government filed a complaint in
the U." N. General Assembly
against Russia, accusing the USSR
of aiding the Chinese Communists
in the Civil War and violating the
Sino-Soviet treaty of 1945 and the
charter of the United Nations.
