General Marshall continued his report to the joint meeting of the Diplomatic and Military Committees of the Senate attacking the Soviet Union. He said the possibility of a Soviet invasion in the Far East was greater than in Europe because it already had the assistance of the CCP. I did not really think so. The Soviet Union would not launch an attack directly.

The British Foreign Minister, Herbert Morrison, formally declared in the Parliament that Britain had changed its policy. Britain did not advocate handing Taiwan to the Chinese Communists.  He said that in the Cairo Conference it had been decided that Taiwan would be returned to China, and at the same time the independence of Korea would be maintained. He declared the two big policies as non-aggression and having no territorial ambition. Therefore, the issue of Taiwan should not be discussed before the CCP has not implemented these two policies and stopped the participation in the Korean War. This is indication that Britain is giving a concession to the United States. As for supporting the CCP to join the United States, Britain would abandon it, but as for cancellation of recognition and complete blockade it is still too early to say.

The American side has publicized that the casualties of the CCP and North Korea had reached 900,000 people.
