U.S. POLICY TOWARDS CHINA
(Suggested draft of statement by the White House
upon the departure of General Marshall to China)
The Government of the U.S. holds that peace and pros-
perity of the world in this new and unexplored era ahead
depend upon the ability of the sovereign nations to com-
bine for collective security in the United Nations
ARCHIVES AND
organization.
"NATIONAL SERVICE" RECORDE
It is the firm belief of this Government that a
COVERAGE
strong, united and democratic China is of the utmost import-
ance to the success of this United Nations organization and
for world peace. A China, disorganized and divided either
by foreign aggression, such as that undertaken by the Japa-
nese, or by violent internal strife is an undermining influ-
ence to world stability and peace, now and in the future.
The U./S. Government has long subscribed to the principle
that the management of internal affairs is the responsi-
bility of the peoples of the sovereign nations. Events
of this century, however, would indicate that a breach
of peace anywhere in the world threatens the peace of the
entire world. It is thus in the most vital interest of
the U.S. and all the United Nations that the people of
China overlook no opportunity to adjust their internal
differences promptly by methods of peaceful negotiations.
