...World War I (when Turkey was Germany's ally) became chief of staff of the Seventh Ottoman Army. Between wars, he was a member of the Steel Helmet, a right-wing but anti-Nazi party. He retired from the Reichswehr in 1930, went to China as Chiang Kai-shek's military adviser, became his good friend and stayed on to help him fight the Japanese even after Germany had formed the Axis...
...Chiang Kai-Shek's "Free China" (Formosa) continuously gets applause from "The Freeman." In "Can Chiang Trust America?" by Alfred Kohlberg, the exiled dictator is pictured as "simple and direct. . . a deeply religious Christian." Mr. Kohlberg, Treasurer of The Freeman, made his fortune in export trade with Nationalist China and was registered as a representative for the Kuomintang government.

Martin argued that Chiang would open a second front on the Chinese mainland if the United States supplied him with planes, tanks, trucks, ships, and ammunition. This country should have learned by now that arms and reaction can't win the loyalty of the Chinese people. Beyond this, it is also a stupid business to force a ruler upon a country whose people have already rejected...
...kind of story the State Department would love to put out on a don't-quote-me basis to head off public irritation over continuing confusion about China. The facts, as other newsmen saw them, were quite different: Acheson was still governed by bitter resentment toward Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese Nationalists. When the Joint Chiefs of Staff had proposed a counteroffensive against the Communists in a high-level conference, Acheson had opposed...
