Q. Bundy said he would be a little late.
Q. Oh, yes, that's right.
DA. Yesterday we were speculating as to whether in mid 149 the criticisms of the Marshall
step to further the agreement between the Nationalists and the Communts had been a subject
weal
of criticism and I find among my press clippings here an editorial in the Common Wesel on
August 19, 1949. it says "Why, for example, did we dee eive ourselves by promoting a
coalition between the Nationalists and the Communists, why did we not exert more pressure
on China to clean up his Governm ent as a pre-condition of the American aid, why did we
not sooner and more vigorously protest Russian violation on the Yalta agreement regarding
?
Manchuria? These questions indicate sone American wrong thinking and ignorance burrows
going on in China will take more than this white paper to certify that our mistakes too
were not comparable blunders." There are two interesting things about that; one of them
is that they do pick up. they were talking about, and that the Yalta that is referred to here
is a rather good thing rather than a bad thing. It's Russian violations of the Yalta which

Common Wheel quite rightly had nuch more restrain, was sensible and fir. Getting on into
November we still were in the middle of a very bitter controversy with the Chinese Com-
munists over Angus Ward. It was August 30th that we got the twolve other countries to join
with us in the demand on the Communists to release him.
Q. This is 949.

DA. This is 149, and he was not released until December 16th, as I look back on it
the battle which was going on...
