...statement was also a year's-end audit of U.S. books in China. Admittedly on the debit side was the failure of General Marshall's mission to break the Kuomintang-Communist deadlock. But on the credit side was the repatriation of nearly 3,000,000 Japanese troops, and a slash in U.S. troop strength from 113,000 to less than...
Last week Athens reported heavy troop movements and concentrations in Yugoslavia's Vardar Valley, north of Greece. It seemed likely that all such activity would stop before the Security Council investigators could get within gunshot. If Greece's northern neighbors should hastily sweep everything under the rug, it would be up to the investigators to lift...

He also cut the ground from under Russia's agitation for a troop census by giving the figure on U.S. forces abroad: 550,000. Most of them, he added, were in occupation areas. There were 96,000 in the Philippines, only 19,000 in China. Russia...
