The decision to entrust disputed issues to the new council was reached at a Sunday peace talk arranged by the increasingly in fluential liberal Chinese demo cratic league—while war clouds thickened as the result of two oth er developments: The government called China’s national assembly to meet May £ —with no woryl of whether com munists would be given represen tation they demanded: and a top nationalist general forecast a ma jor government drive into Man churia “very soon” despite crack communist troops massed to block It.

S. office of strategic services were being employed against com munists.
