Dear Congressnan:
I have just received another commination from
General Marshall and, if things continue going
as favorably as they are going now, I believe
'we ean have all our forces out of China before
the year is out. We are now relieving sone Marines
with Chinese soldiers.
The transportation situation in China, however, is
a most difficult one, as you know. All novements
of troops from South China into North China have
to be made by water or by air under present condi-
tions. If the two factions in China finally get
together that situation will be easily remedied
because the troops in northern China can be used
for relief purposes.
General Marshall has done a magnificent job and
I hope we will come out with a unified China and
a good friend in the Far East for the United States.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY S. TRUMAN
Honorable Hugh De Lacy
