Explosive Situation in China
Calls for Clear U.S. Statement
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
The situation in China has become so explosive that United
States policy whatever It Is appears due for revision or a clear
statement of alms.
Whether the United State Is "Intervening" or "Interfering" in
China's internal affairs is a subject of controversy. The Chinese
communists and their supporters
tion. United States military and diplomatic authorities contend
that the sole purpose is to facilitate the disarmament of 2,000,000
Japanese troops in China and the deportation of the troops and
another 2,000,000 Japanese civilians.
EXPLANATION NOT ACCEPTED BY AMERICAN PUBLIC
That explanation is glven'to account for the presence of United
States marines in Nortli China and the movement of Chungking
government troops northward to the communist-dominated area
bv United States airplanes and ships. The explanation is too
simple and has not been accepted
the whole story.
Much confusion has arisen because of conflicting statements
by American authorities in China and Washington, and by the
communist and Kuomlntang factions in China. Recent develop
ments include the following:
Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer, U. S. commander In China,
told the press in Washington less than three weeks ago that the
marine strength in China would be built up to more than 50,000
by the end of the year. Yesterday he said In Pelping that evacua
tion of American forces from North China may begin In about a
week. Secretary of State James
Washington.
WITHDRAWAL FROM CHINA PREVIOUSLY PROMISED
Previously Wedemeyer had said that If any really serious
trouble started between the communist and central government
forces, American troops would be withdrawn. He denied emphati
cally that American forces had aided the Chinese Nationalists in
actual fighting. Nevertheless, American marines have been
wounded in rifle exchanges with the Chinese communists, flist
does not belie Wedemeyer's statement, although it shows the
potential danger of a grave clash.
The communists have Just reported that Nationalist forces be
low the Great Wall have opened an attack to break through the
Shanhaikwan Pass into southern Manchuria. The official Central
News Agency reported almost simultaneously from Chungking
that peace negotiations had been resumed.
The communists also cited three specific examples of alleged
American intervention. They charged that American forces had
occupied the communist office In Pelping and disarmed and ques
tioned the personnel. An apology was demanded of Wedemeyer.
AIRPLANE TURN-OVER REPORT DENIED IN U. S.
The Nationalist newspaper Ta Kung Pao said in Chungking that
the 3,000 American airplanes now in China are being turned over
to the central government. A State department spokesman in
Washington branded the story as "spurious and untrue." The re
port followed a previous statement in Chungking that the United
States would set up a five-year military mission in China to re
organize and train the central government's armies.
Meanwhile, Secretary Byrnes told a press conference in Wash
ington that the movement of the marines in China is a military
matter, not political. He said the State department had not been
consulted.
If that Is so, there must be two American policies in China
one of political and one military. It seems logical to assume that
if they were co-ordinated and plainly stated, there would be a
better prospect of getting the Chinese factions' together, and less
chance of a misunderstanding with Russia, whose interest in China
is as great as the American.

Mules and Man
A contemporary expert on
men, women and love, but not
horses, advises young women as
follows: "Never let a man know
he is 'it.' That is to say, don't
tell the fellow he is your "big
moment." Our Mules and Men
experts are not in accord with
this line of advice. They say the
thing to do Is let the man know
he is "It" assure him he is the
one and only." However, our
M & M exports claim it is a mis
take for a young woman to let
one man monopolize her.
She should have at least three
other young men to whom she
can devote some attention. Idea
of this is to keep the "one and
oniy just a little worried. But
even when the ton man asks:
"Who was that fellow I saw you
with?" the girl should say: "Oh
Just a casual acquaintance but
you know you are my chief
heartthrob." As we have said
before the advice of our Mules
and Men experts may not be so
romantic out It is practical.

This Inference that the gov
ernment might have received
what Mr. Roosevelt used to call
"a mandate" to go C. I. O. or
new dealing again, caused rather
general surprise to the politicos
in the know on what really hap
pened in New York.
To them the election result
meant exactly the opposite
without a shadow of a doubt or
a loophole for argument. It ex
pressed about the same popular
system as was evident in Detroit,
namely:
Without Mr. Roosevelt at the
top of their tickets, the left
wingers, radicals, professional
new dealers and, indeed, the
C. I. O.-P. A. C. itself, cannot
pretend to the popular following
he gave them. Indeed, far from
having a fresh mandate, their
future has been made doubtful.
a a
A pretzel-like stretch of the
imagination would be required
to reach any different conclu
sion. These two cities were the
strongholds of leading advocates
of the Roosevelt policy and pro
gram. If they cannot win in
these two metropolitan centers
they cannot win anywhere.
Yet in New York they show
ed a sharply diminishing vote
forecasting an end to the public
career of their leading politico,
La Guardia, and the end of their
fusionlst, independent move
ments; while in Detroit their
own man could not win, even
backed with a democratic nomi
nation. a a a
Take New York. The radical
and almost thoroughly commu
nist American labor party polled
far less than the normal com
munist vote of recent years.
Its reorganized, militant man
agement showed less power
than its former directorship
which led the publicity of the
fourth-term drive for Mr. Roose
velt. It rode the democratic
party coattail again, but with
such a less Impressive clutch of
strength as to relieve the vic
torious O'Dwyer from any seri

Next La Guardia and his "no

showed , itself to be nothing
worth anyone worrying about.
The little thistle is commonly
reported to have ambitions to
ward the senatorship or gover
norship next, but he cannot
hope to get either the republi
can or democratic nominations
for either Job.
His section of the local count
erpart of "the Roosevelt progrom
ond policy" rallied Insufficient
following upon which to build
an independent political move
ment. a a a
The Tammany democrat,
O'Dwyer, was a popular man
and the great bulk of his vote
enough to win was cast on
the straight democratic ticket.
The city majority then went
democratic; lt went Tammany;
It did not go new deal.
Any objective analysis I am
firmly convinced will show lt
did so primarily because the
people as a wholes the man and
woman In the street in general
were so fed up with the reforms
of La Guardia and that kind of
new deal bitterness they were
even .willing to take Tammany
as a substitute.
The alternative offered by
the republicans was weak. In
fact he was a Tammany demo

Some Jews thought his elec
tion would promote anti-Semei-
tism rather than ease it, while a
great number just saw through
the republican strategy (too
plain a lure?) and voted for
O'Dwyer.
No one could possibly get a
genuine victory for "the policy
and program" of Mr. Roosevelt
out of this situation. Party? Yes.
Tammany? Yes. Nothing else,

Now in Detroit, the C. I. O.
P. A. C. had a straight loss. Its
unions there in the auto indus
try have greater strength and
prestige than elsewhere. It had
a rather popular candidate,
Richard Frankensteen, running
against a republican seeking a
fourth term, Mayor Jeffries.
The result was not close. Jef
fries won by 57,000 votes.
There were the only impor
tant elections involving straight
major tests of the political i
forces of this era. That Mr.
Truman could have been much
In mind of voters at the polls
In either city I gravely doubt.
That "the policy and program"
of Mr. Roosevelt, concurred in
in earlier years to meet wholly
different situations than those
today, won a victory, is prepos
terous. Instead the majority showed
that without the name of Mr.
Roosevelt at the head of their
tickets the future of his old
extra-party crowd in politics is
dark.
