...within both the Communists and the Kuomintang must stop the struggle between extremists of both parties, the rapid withdrawal of American troops servicing the Peiping Headquarters of the Marshall mission, is tantamount to announcing that further American intervention will merely compromise their efforts. Pulling out now is only a tacit admission of what the Communists have claimed all along, that the U. S. troops were not to help in mediation, but to spearhead the Kuomintang "forces of reaction." The charge will be all the more difficult to meet because some elements within the Kuomintang themselves triumphantly voiced the same opinion...

Before Hodgson intervened, Russia had the U.S. and Britain over a barrel. No one seriously believed that Franco was about to go on the warpath, and Gromyko had no constructive proposal on how to get rid of him. But if Stettinius and Cadogan voted tacit aid & comfort to Franco by defeating Gromyko, Russia could use that fact to advance her own ends, from Trieste to Tokyo. If the West continued to do nothing about Franco, it would in crease the chance that his successor will be more Communist than democratic...
