political elements to bring about the unification of China
and, concurrently, effect a cessation of hostilities,
particularly in north China.
In response to General Wedemeyer's recent messages,
the State Department requests the War Department to arrange
for directions to him stipulating that:
(1) He may put into effect the arrangements to assist
the Chinese National Government in transporting Chinese
troops to Manchurian ports, including the logistical sup-
port of such troops;
(2) He may also proceed to put into effect the
stepped-up arrangements for the evacuation of Japanese
troops from the China theater;
(3) Pending the outcome of General Marshall's dis-
cussions with Chinese leaders in Chungking for the pur-
pose of arranging a national conference of representatives
of the major political elements and for a cessation of
hostilities, further tronsportation of Chinese troops to
north China, except as north China ports may be necessary
for the movement of troops and supplies into Manchuria,
will be held in abeyance;
(4) Arrangements for transportation of Chinese troops
into north China may be immediately perfected, but not
communicated to the Chinese Government. Such arrange-
ments will be executed when General Marshall determines
either (a) that the movement of Chinese troops to north
China can be carried out consistently with his negotia-
tions, or (b) that the negotiations between the Chinese
groups have failed or show no prospect of success and
that the circumstances are such a.s to make the movement
necessary to effectuate the surrender terms and to secure
the long-term interests of the United States in the main-
tenance of international peace.
