General Marshall to President Truman 12

[Nanking,] November 11, 1946.

1745. Dear Mr. President: Now at 10 p.m. Monday I have just been informed by message from Generalissimo that at urgent request of non-party delegation he has agreed to delay convocation of National Assembly 3 days. They promised that if such delay was granted the Third Party organizations would submit names of their delegates and possibly the Communists but I think the last unlikely.

G. C. Marshall
