The First Step Back

[JoeB131]

The spies that FDR put in place continued to move Democrats in the Communist Direction. This, from a newspaper at the time:

"Mr. Truman said that the nationalists should have surrendered because they didn't have a chance to win...the opinion of American ambassador Leighton Stuart was that the failure of American aid to come at the opportune moment was the real cause of the weakness of nationalists and the disintegration of their armies....many military commanders went over to the enemy because they saw the United States withdrawing moral support from Chiang Kai-shek. Mr. Truman boldly defends what Treasury did. He doesn't mention Harry Dexter White, mentioned in congressional hearings as a communist spy, sat at Treasury with full power to say when the money promised Chiang Kai-shek would be forwarded or withheld." Toledo Blade, Toledo

Okay, that's nice and all, but it doesn't answer the obvious question...

If Chiang couldn't rally the people to his cause, why should we keep throwing away money propping him up. We had been dumping money into China since 1940 (When the Nazis stopped supporting Chaing and started supporting the Japanese instead).

What everybody forgets about Chiang is the guy was a fascist. That some of the Nazi and Fascist regimes in Europe wanted THEM to join the Anti-Comintern Pact (The Axis) instead of Japan. Japan only got the nod because they had a navy.

So despite all that, we propped him up, he made very little progress driving back the Japanese before VJ Day, and when the war was over, his people had quite enough of his nonsense.
