Lieutenant General Alvan C. Gillem, Jr., to General Marshall
Peiping, 22 December
1946.
89. Communist Branch continues to delay in establishing a realistic and dignified basis for U. S. Branch Liaison at Harbin. Communist Branch at Peiping was informed on 21 December that liaison personnel would be withdrawn to Changchun on 23 December for the holidays. (We have no intention of reestablishing this liaison until Communist Branch offers a proper basis for reentry.)
