Demonstrations and denunciations of the Americans continue to increase in China. There is great danger that the controlling influence of China in the future will be Russia. European and Asiatic conditions as they stand today pose the question. "Have the American people spent $400.000.000.000 with the loss of 300.000 American soldiers killed and 1.000.000 wounded to destroy the dictatorship of Hitler. to be supplanted by a dictatorship ultimately over all Europe and Asia?" At this time when the American railroads cannot furnish sufficient cars to move the farmers grain. and Congress is being urged to do something about it. we pick up the New York Herald Tribune of February 12 and learn that official presentation of the first part of a shipment of 160 locomotives and tenders destined to China has been made by Major General Rooks. Director General of UNRRA to Chen Chihma. counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Washington. Is it .possible that the UNRRA policy for China has changed since General Marshall pulled out of that country. soon to be followed by the withdrawal of the United States troops.
