SOUTHERN FARMER MONTGOMERY 1, ALABAMA AUBREY WILLIAMS PUBLISHER February 21, 1947 Honorable Harry S. Truman President of the United States My dear Mr. President: I have just learned that Chiang Kaishek has made the proposal to sell UNNRA relief in order to realize some cash money. I do not know the merits of this particular proposal, but on all hands I find an increasing irritation with our being tied up with Chiang Kaishek and his crowd. I think it would meet with almost unanimous approval if we would call a halt to everything that we are doing over there and get out. Certainly if Marshall could not get those fellows on some working agreement while he was over there, it would seem to be the height of futility to keep on trying. But I am sure you are doing the best you can with it, and I hesitate to offer you any advice. With every good wish, and more power to you. Warm personal regards, Aubrey Williams Tobay : ARCHIVES.AN SERVICES RECOKOS NATIONAL
