the Nationalists, in my opinion, but later on there was no question but what
large numbers of Communist adherents and troops were filtering into the
country.
After the setup for implementing the enforcement of the agreement
for bringing the fighting to an end, I next turned to the conference appointed
to prepare the basis for the military reorganization. This was again a Com-
mittee of Three, though I appeared as an advisor, rather than as the Chairman.
Without too much difficulty, an agreement was reached in this matter for the
gradual unification of all the military forces in China, which meant in fact the
Government and Communist forces. This was formally approved by the Gen-
erallissimo and agreed to by Mao Sse Tung. Two provisos in this agreement
are important to understand:
The first was the fact that the Communists agreed that at the end of
eighteen months the Manchurian garrison should consist of fourteen Nationalist
Government divisions and one Communist division (see page 141 of the China
White Paper). The second was the prescribed organization of the country into
eight service areas (see Article 3, Section 2, on page 623 of the China White
Paper).
The attitude of the Communist regime changed later on, decidedly,
in regard to Manchuria, and the garrison proposed by them was greatly
increased with reference to the number of Communist divisions to be located
