"What was done about it?"
Blunders in China.
The United States made two
prime blunders in losing the good
will of the Chinese government

and people, according to Abend
The first concerns Xcsnchuria
At the meeting of Cnurchlll
Roosevelt and Chiang Kai shek
in CalrO; it was definitely decided
that China would get Manchuria
intact as part of the winner's
spoils. The six billion dollars in
vested in Manchuria by Japan
would go to China in lieu of the
Jap indemnity they would never
be able to pay.
Then, at the next major con
ference, held at Yalta with Roose
velt, Churchill and Stalin pres
ent, Russia was given outer Mon
golia and Manchuria. One million
square miles of Chinese territory
already promised to the Chinese
were suudenly given to Russia
"Why?" Abend asked.
Intervention.
The second blunder was the ab
solute military intervention in the
Chinese civil war by the United
States late in the summer of 1943
"We took over important cities
and rail lines and gave their con
trol to the Kai shek government,"
Abend said. "Although Commun
istic control of the Chinese gov
ernment would have been disns
trous from an American point of
view, we had no business sticking
our nose into the affair," he
added.
"At the present time there are
five governments in China, each
with their own army and cur
rency system," Abend stated. "In
the 15 years I've spent there,
there have always been nt least
two governments, and at one time
there were eight.
Army draft.
The graft in the Chinese setup
was disclosed by Abend when he
told of the 327 divisions in Kai
shek's army. "Each division, sup
posedly numbering 12,000 men.
actually had a strength of only
,700," he said. "Yet these divi
sions were drawing enough food
and pay for a full division. When
the U. S. took over parts of the
Chinese army, they found the men
sufering from malnutrition. They
were underweight an average of I
19.95 to

24 pounds per man. Only 54 per
cent were fit for duty according
to our standards."
"American policy was 'right' for
the first time when Gen. George
C. Marshall assumed command of
the Far East," Abend stated. "He
announced that food to relieve
starvation would be the only help
the United States would give
China until they quit civil war
and set up a coalition govern
ment."
"That is the policy to follow
in China not intervention,"
Abend said.
Appeasement.
"We made fun of Britain for
appeasing Hitler," Abend con
tinued. "Yet we appeased Japan
for over 50 years. We pulled one
of the dirtiest deals on the world
ever made while under the The
odore Roosevelt presidency. When
Japan wished tq annex Korea, we
gave our consent as long as Japan
would promise to leave the Phil
ippines alone.
"Then, prior to this last world
conflict," Abend continued, "we
watched Japan fortify Saipan but
refused to do the same thing on
neighboring Guam for fear of
hurting Tokyo's feelings. 0
"We knew of Jap atrocities and
yet appeased her," he concluded.
'Will the same thing happen re
garding Russia?"
