As a former Communist (1923-1947) and as a person recently cured, I would give all my world possessions to change place with an ‘uncured’ persons now living in the ‘hated monopolistic-capitalistic America’.” The letters also show a strong) skepticism of Soviet propaganda about the U.S.A.

SOKOLSKY JESSUP'S WHITE PAPER When a man drags out his an- cestors to prove his virtue, I grow very suspicious of his bona fides. After all, Mother Bloor's ancestors were colonial and all that and quite a gang of Communists and fellow- travelers belonged to the descen- dants of the American Revolution, a definitely left-wing organization, cited as subversive by two Con- gressional committees, It is funny how the so-called liberals become stuffed shirts when they are attacked for acts of their own choice which turn out badly. A Mrs. Pennypacker of Philadel- | phia, for instance, was the pro- prietor of the “Daily Worker.” My friend, Frederick Vanderbilt Field, as sincere a Marxist as ever angeled a bad cause, can produce ancestors | that would bring Dr. Jessup down to earth. He can include Com- modore Cornelius Vanderbilt and‘ Henry White, to say nothing of | the Osgood Fields, who are simply tops. All this only proves that drag- | ging out anceseors to establish pur- ity by heredity fails to make a‘ point, | So let’s look at the record. In| the “White Book” on China, sald to be Dr. Jessup's production, in | the letter of transmittal, signed by Dean Acheson, the following | which ., . .Althoi d) gh tary necessity, the (Yalta) agree- | ment and the subsequent Sino-Sov- iet treaty in fact imposed limita- tions on the action which Russia would, in any case, have been in a position to take.” That sentence was not true on July 30, 1949, when it was dated. No “limitations on the action” were imposed on Soviet Russia. In 1949, Soviet Russia was in full charge of Manchuria, Mongolia and North China and was in the pro- cess of conquering the whole of China, which is now an accom- plished fact. Acheson's statement consists of meaningless words. Let’s go further: “For reasons of military security, and for those only, it was con- sidered too dangerous for the Unit- ed States to consult with the Na- tional Government (of China) re- garding the Yalta agreement or to communicate its terms at once to Chungking. We were then in the 1 Under midst of the Pacific war. It was felt that there was grave TIisk = = v .

The Cairo conterence| met November 22-26, 1943, ’ll\e Cairo declaration stated: | “The three great allies (The United States, Great Britain und' China) are fightipg this war to| restrain and punish' the agglessmnl cf Japan. They covet no gain for| themselves, and have no thought of territorial expansion, “It is their purpose that Japafh shall be stripped of all the is-| lands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since the De- ginning of the first world war in| 1914, and that all the territories | that Japan has stolen from the| Chinese, such as Manchuria, For-| mosa, and the Pescadores, shall| be restored to the Republic of China.” At Teheran, a few days later, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill reached an agreement with J. Stalin of just the oppo- site character. Chiang kai-Shek, who was at Cairo, wanted to go to Teheran to discuss Far Eastern| arrangements, but Stalin objected Chiang thought that the Cairo| jeciaration gave his country the issurance that they had not fought Japan in vain. He returned to China. | The double-cross was kept secret ! from him from November 28, 1943 to June 15, 1945. In fact, the Cairo declaration was issued on December,| 1, 1943, after it was no longer true. At Yalta, all of Japan's claims, rights and special privileges, which} the Chinese had been contesting| since 1915 and on account of which? they went to war with Japan in September, 1931, and we, after Pearl Harbor, were transferred to Russia. As to leaks gomg from China to Japan, it is understandable that‘ had Chiang known of the crimes | of Teheran and Yalta, he might/ have made a separate peace with Japan. It would have heen more honest and truthful had Dean Acheson and Dr. Philip Jessup sald that and further that all this was kept secret to keep the Chinese in a war which betrayed them.
