The abrupt new shaping of the whole American position in

some solid commitments for increased cooporation with America
in the war against Japan.
The Associated Press is informed that the commitments were

In turn, tho Associated Press was inlormed under circum

withdrawal of Stilwell as supreme commander in the CBI theater
as a face-saving and pacifying gosture demanded by the general
