also to strengthen the national unity and to provide a program for guiding the country through the transitory period which would end in a democratic, constitutional government. The Generalissimo stated that if the Communists really want a democratic, constitutional government, this give them ample opportunity to take part in its inauguration.

Before General Chou En-Lai left for Yenan on February 16, he had indicated to me that he would agree to the political consultant meeting provided for in the document quoted above. It was his opinion that the one-party Kuomintang rule should end immediately and that a coalition administration should be formed to help China in her effort to draw up a democratic constitution to be adopted by a people's convention and thus form a democratic government. I pointed out that all of this sounded very nice, but that it did not accomplish the immediate unification of the armed forces of China. The position of China will suffer in the forthcoming San Francisco conference if she cannot show a greater degree of unity than that indicated, and I pointed this out to him.

In the opinion of General Wedemeyer, who has been kept fully informed of the negotiations' progress, this report is a logical and excellent presentation of the facts.

The decision to support the leadership of Chiang Kie Chiek and to support the National Government, I am convinced, was a proper one for our Government to make. On many occasions I have advised the Generalissimo and Soong that China must make her own decisions, be responsible for her own international and domestic policies, and furnish her own leadership. At no time have I submitted any principle or method that in my opinion would weaken the leadership of Chiang or the National Government.

End of part four.

New subject: I had prepared a reply to your message which I did not send. In your message you appear to have reduced my role in these negotiations to the position of merely making a suggestion without implementing the suggestion. That is the method followed by Ambassador Gauss when he transmitted the President's and the Secretary of State's message on September 9th last. That message, as you now know, obtained no results whatever because it lacked vigorous implementation. I decided, however, not to send the telegram as I hope to see you and discuss the situation more fully. It is my earnest desire to be amenable to every suggestion from State Department even when I believe our position is weakened and accomplishment postponed by lack of vigorous implementation of suggestions. Perhaps this respite in negotiations and my visit with the State Department will clarify my mind on the distance I will be able to go in promoton of the war effort by inducing or compelling the unification of Chinese armed forces and a coordination of effort to assist us in the defeat of Japan.
