STILWELL RECALL
(Continued from Pago One)
Chiang that Hurry Hopkins had
informed him that there was no
cause for nlann in the Ameri
can uttitudu and that if Chiang
would hold out determinedly,
he would win nil points.
Learning of these reports,
the American negotiators cvi
dently'obtainod a flat statement
from the president in a message
that he was not fooling and
backed the negotiators at that
point fully.
Drawing Cards
As their part in the bargain
ing, the Americans had the
power to withhold lense-lend
supplies and to withdraw Maj.
Gen. Claire L. Chcnnault and
his U, S. 14th air force from
China.
Finally, an agreement was
reached which included nmong
other things that nn American
would be given command of
Chinese field forces. It was a
large pill to swallow, but in the
interests of harmony nil around,
Chiang evidently agreed at one
stage to take it and keep the
war going at top speed, lie
agreed to give Stilwell com
mand of Chinese field forces
with the comment that he
would "Give him my full con
fidence." Wants Stilwell Recall
Then a reaction set in. To the
amazement of all the negotia
tors, Chiang declared that Stil
well must go. He cited charges.
For security reasons the nature
of the charges can not be dis
closed. The generalissimo was ada
mant and the United States rep
resentatives were faced with
capitulation on this point or a
break in the policy of support
ing utnang s government, a tew
days ago, Stilwell was relieved
of his command and left for
America. But Chiang was spe
cifically informed that the Unit
ed States did not accept his
charges against Stilwell.
Gains race"
In China, Chiang evidently
gained great "face" by the ma
neuver which is looked upon
in many Chinese and American
quarters as capitulation.
Generally it is recognized
that much time has been lost
through the disagreements and
that American hope of close and
harmonious relationship with
the Chinese central government
has been greatly shaken.
Already around Chungking
and at air bases there is much
discussion of who is to blame
for the defeats in central China.
M any Chinese complain that
Stilwell and the United States
have failed in the delivery of
adcauate suoolics. The old bit
terness between, Stilwell and
Chcnnault is endlessly revived.
Critics of Stilwell insist that
if he had turned over to Chcn
nault all the capacity of the
"hump" airline Chennault's air
force could have kept the Japa
nese away from advanced
American bases , in central
China, which recently have fal
len to the enemy.
Supporters of Stilwell and
some within ' Chennault's own
official family have argued that
an air force alone cannot pro
tect bases and that the weak
Chinese performance during the
past summer has tested Chen
nault's contention and found it
wanting.
Meantime the Japanese have
most of the bases and the Amer
icans have most of the dissen
sion and disappointment.
(In New York Dr. H. H.
Kung. Chinese finance minister
and Chiang's brother-in-law,
when shown the contents of
Grover's dispatch said ho had
no comment to make for publication).
