FINAL WARNING: The Communist Agenda
they were the last country to get military aid, which came in the form of
a $250 million loan in gold to stabilize their economy. Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, Harry Dexter White, the Soviet spy, was in
charge of making sure China got the money, and over a period of 3
years, he only sent them $27 million. In 1945, Congress voted a second
loan of $500 million, and Dexter made sure they didn’t get any of that,
which resulted in the collapse of their economy.After World War II, special envoys Gen. George C. Marshall (Army
Chief of Staff, and CFR member, who served as Secretary of State 1947-
49, and Secretary of Defense 1950-51; who had knowledge of the
impending attack on Pearl Harbor, but didn’t inform the commanders
in the Pacific) and Patrick J. Hurley were sent to China to meet with
Chiang Kai-shek. They urged him to give the Communists
representation in the Chinese Government, and for the Nationalists
(Kuomintang) to have a coalition government, since they felt that the
Russians weren’t influencing the Chinese Communists. However,
Chiang would not accept any kind of Communist influence in his
government, so Marshall recommended that all American aid be
stopped, and an embargo enforced. There was no fuel for Chinese
tanks and planes, or ammunition for weapons. Russia gave the
Chinese Communists military supplies they had captured from Japan,
and also diverted some of the American Lend-Lease material to them.
Soon, Mao began making his final preparations to take over the
government.High level State Department officials, such as Harry Dexter White and
Owen Lattimore, who were members of the Institute of Pacific
Relations, besides planning the destruction of the Chinese economy,
also falsified documents to indicate that the Chinese Communists
were actually farmers who were pushing for agricultural reform. Thus,
from 1943-49, magazines like the Saturday Evening Post (who ran over
60 articles) and Colliers, advocated and promoted the Communist
movement. While Mao Tse-tung was made to appear as an “agrarian
reformer,” Chiang was blasted for being a corrupt dictator. In 1945,
Lattimore sent President Truman a memorandum suggesting a
coalition government between the Communists and the National
Government. John Carter Vincent of the IPR elaborated upon that
memo, and it became the basis upon which Truman based his China
policy, which was announced on December 15, 1945.
