Like most of his comrades in the army, he pins his hopes on American aid, and wishes there were more of it. "We have the heart," he told an American correspondent, "you have the means...
...prisoners. Vast hordes of peasants have left their meager land to escape the Red terror. In ramshackle huts on the fringes of provincial towns, they sit hungrily day after day.

The issue was not one of backing pure good against pure bad, nor one of choosing exactly what kind of government we would like to aid. The issue was which of two sides to help. In China, the choice was between the National Government and the Communists.
