definite obligation in the disarnament and evacuation of
the Japanese troops. Accordingly the U.S. has been
assisting and will continue to assist the National Dovernment
of the Republic of China in effecting the disarmanent and
evacuation of Japanese troops in the liberated areas. The
U.S. Marines are in north China for that purpose.

The United States has already been compelled to pay
