But Roosevelt, not satisfied, called in Marine Corps Col. Evans Carlson, hero of Makin Island, who had spent several years with the Chinese Communists. Carlson con- firmed - that they were the most effective army in China. Finally, last spring, Roosevelt sent Wallace to China, specifically instructed him to arrange for a U. S. military mission to visit the Communist Army. This was. not easy. First, Wallace got Chiang’s permission to visit the Communists. Later, he had to get permission from the Communist guerrillas to receive an American military mis- sion. This was really difficult. At first, the Communists were skeptical, but after considerable Vice Presidential persuasion, they agreed. POMMUNISTS GOOD FIGHTERS LussiUll last summer re- ported directly to the White House, confirming previous ideas that (1) the Chinese Communists have afout 500,000 loyal troops, though poorly equipped; (2) they have another 2,000,000 potential fighters now do- ing guerrilla work behind Jap lines; (3) they have superior in- telligence regarding Jap operation: (4) their commander, Tse-tung, has a brilliant record of resisting the Japs to the last ditch. Result of all this was that the United States faced the alternative of working’ directly with the Com- munists, which would affect Chiang Kai-shek, or of trying to get Chiang Kai-shek to work with them so the United States could then work with both. This was what U. S. Ambassador Gauss and Gen. Stilwell were try- ing to do—to get the Generalissimo to work with the Communists. The Ambassador tried diplomacy. The General served an ultimatum. Un- fortunately, Chiang and had rubbed each other the way for a long time. Stilwell's blunt, brusque manners also had caused friction with Gen. Claire Chennault, Lord Mcuntbatten and Chiang. AMERICAN-CHINESE IMPASSE Chennault battled with Stilwell over greater use of the air, called Btilwell an old-fashioned trench fighter. Stilwell battled Mount- Batten over the British slowness in Burma. . Trouble with those two is not so serious.
