Pact Signed Merging 2
Opposing Factions Into
National Chinese Army
By SPENCER MOOSA 1
CHUNGING, Feb. 25 P)
An agreement merging central
government and communist forc
es into . one national Chinese
army was signed today at a cere
mony witnessed by General
Marshall, special U. S. envoy and
adviser to this nation's army re
organization committee.
"This agreement represents
the hope of China," General Mar
shall asserted after the signing.
"I can only hope that its pages
will not be soiled by small groups
of irreconcilables, who for a sel
fish purpose would defeat the
Chinese people ' in their over
whelming desire for the right to
live in peace and prosperity."
The agreement provides for re
duction of government forces to
SO divisions and communist
troops to 10 divisions within 18
months. The Sino-American
headquarters at Peiping, which
is implementing the truce in
China's civil strife, is charged
with supervising terms of the
reorganization.
Sign Document
Signing the document were
Gen. Chang Chih-chung, for the
government, and Gen. Chou En
lai, communist representative.
The reorganization program
was formulated at a special mili
tary conference in Nanking re
cently. The agreement states that its
object is to facilitate the eco
nomic rehabilitation of China and
provide a basis for development
of an effective military force
capable of safeguarding national
security.
It provides for a force consist
ing of armies of three divisions
each, with Bervice troops not to
exceed IS per cent of their total
strength.
,. China was divided into eight
service areas under directors re
sponsible to the minister of na
tional defense, or the national
military council. -Petition
Earlier today reports circulat
ing in Chungking political cir
cles said 14 top ranking generals
had petitioned Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-shek recently against
reducing the army at a time
"when the third World War is in
the making," but that Chiang
refused to halt reduction.
In Shanghai several thousand
young Chinese staged a noisy
demonstration at the Russian
consultate general. They sealed
the consultate doors with bright
colored posters which demanded
that the Russians get out of Man
churia. Students in ' Chungking, en
couraged by the response to their
demonstration Friday, planned
another "quit Manchuria" pa
rade tomorrow. In Hankow plans
were announced for a similar
demonstration March 4.
The term collective bargaining
was first used in London in 1891
by Beatrice Webb.
Money Can Be
Found For Project
(Continued from Page One)
ferences that it will cost about
$370,000 to operate the first
year, of which $100,000 would
be returned in tuition and ren
tals. One possibility is that $100,
000 can be borrowed from state
or higher education building
funds to finance conversion of
living quarters, this to be amor
tized by rentals. Funds for equip
ment might also come from this
source, while the money for in
struction for the first year would
probably come out of the state's
emergency fund.
This arrangement would carry
the project through the next ses
sion of the legislature, which
would be asked to make further
provisions.
Favors Plan
Governor Earl Snell declared
while here that he favors taking
the plant over for the suggested
purpose.
"We cannot have veterans
walking the streets seeking an
education," said the governor.
"We've got to take care of them.
This is the answer to our prob
lem unless a better program can
be developed."
Dr. C. D. Byrne, executive sec
retary of the state board of high
er education, outlined the edu
cational needs for veterans
which has projected the Marine
Barracks into state consideration.
He said that' at least 10,000 vet
erans will be knocking at the
doors of the higher institutions
in addition to regular enroll
ments. It was estimated the Ma
rine Barracks would accommo
date 2S00 students, that it will
be co-educational, and not con
fined entirely to veterans.
Show Interest
The visiting officials demon
strated great interest in the big
plant on the hill and were warm
in their praise of its condition,
appearance and facilities. They
learned the buildings there have
a life expectancy of 35 years.
Several of the visitors left on
Saturday night's train for points
north, and others left Sunday.
Before leaving, the state men
asked Capt. Lowell Coggeshall,
senior medical officer at the bar
racks, if he would go to Wash
ington to help conclude the deal
between the state and the navy.
If arrangements are made by the
state with the navy, Capt Cog
geshall will make the trip.
