DR SOONG WAS NOT IN GOOD STANDING WITH HIS GOVERNMENT WHEN
25
1 ARRIVED IN CHINA. - FOUND VERY FEW CHINESE WHO WERE WESTERN
26
27
MINDED. DR SOONG'S HARVARD EDUCATION, HIS 11 YEARS BANKING
28
EXPERIENCE IN THE UNITED STATES AND LONG OFFICIAL SERVICE THERE
29
30
HAS GIVEN HIM AN INSIGHT TO THE AMERICAN SITUATION THAT IS UNSUR-
31
PASSED BY ANY CHINESE - HAVE EVER KNOWN. IN THE DARK DAYS WHEN
32
33
THE COLLAPSE OF THE CHINESE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT WAS FREELY PRE-
34
DICTED, WHEN THE CHINESE ARMIES WERE IN FULL RETREAT AND WHEN
35
36
THERE WAS WHAT APPEARED TO BE AN UNBREAKABLE DEADLOCK BETWEEN THE
37
GENERAL ISSIMO AND THE AMERICAN HIGH COMMAND, I TURNED INSTINCT-
38
39
IVELY TO A CHINESE WHO COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS SAYING AND
40
COULD MAKE THE GENERALISSIMO UNDERSTAND. CONVERSELY HE COULD MAKE
41
42
ME UNDERSTAND THE GENERALISSINO. THIS IS A PRELUDE THAT WILL
43
INDICATE MY CLOSE RELATIONS WITH DR SOONG. I NOW FEEL THAT I MUST
44
45
ATTEMPT TO CONVEY TO YOU THE PRESENT ATTITUDE OF DR SOONG TOWARD
46
THE UNITED STATES.
