Ravaged, still-disputed Manchuria was the ugliest wound that would have to heal before the pattern of Chinese unity could be complete. To heal other sore spots in Shansi, Honan and Hupeh provinces, tireless U.S. Peacemaker George Marshall toured North China, working in the difficult lower political levels to win practical realization of the military truce he and China's top leaders had arranged.

His methods became the pattern for the national bond drives. In 1943 Hoyt slaved for six months as OWI's domestic director, fought hard to keep war news flowing free from needless and petty censorship...
