the undersigned, endorse the calling of a National Conference on Amer-
ican Policy in China and the Far East at this present moment. It is becoming in-
creasin(;ly apparent that democratic opinion in the world is beginning to question
the wisdom of much of the United States policy in China in particular and in the
Far East in general.
The i:uomintan; government of China is now dependent for its very continuance
on huge loans and shipments of war material from this country Such a condition
woula not exist if the government really had the support of its people. Many ex-
Derienced correspondents, government representatives and commercial observers,
noting; the nature of the Nanking Government, are in favor of withholding American
aid to China until the democratic elements in that country come into control of a
government which will represent all parties including the one now in power.
The future progress of the tiiited Nations is largely dependent upon the
establishment of democratic regimes in the Far Eastern countries, including areas
that were formerly colonial. To the extent that United States policy is failing
to encourage this democracy it ought to be revised.
The future growth of the Christian Church in China will be harmed or helped
by the support which Christians, both American and Chinese, give to the reforms
that are obviously and urgently called for in China now. The most harmful and
mistaken attitude which American Christians could possibly take at this time is
one which approves of bombs and machine guns and rifle ammunition for use against
the Chinese people. Our attitude must not only be one of Christian love but also
of an understanding of the social ferment which our missionary work has shared in
creating,,. We Christians have a responsibility to share in the making of an Amer-
ican policy that is concerned for the welfare of the Chinese people.
We call for support of this Conference believing that this is a much needed
concrete attempt of American citizens to put into practice the traditional demo-
cratic affirmations and hopes of the American people.

The three undersigned National Chairmen, call upon all interested organizations to
send delegates and observers to a National Conference on American 1olio}:. in China and the Far East, to be
held in New York City, January 23rd, 24th and 25th, 1948.
KPH
The Purposes of the Conference are to discuss and plan action on -
1. The halting of United States intervention in China and other friendly Far Eastern countries.
2. The carrying out of the democratic decisions of the Potsdam Agreement and the Moscow Conference re-
garding policies in Japan and Korea.
3. The relationship between Far Eastern policy and domestic well-being.
4. A program to achieve a genuinely democratic Far Eastern policy which alone can give any hope of peace.
5. Rallying all democratic Americans to support of such a program.
We Americans have always felt a pride and strength in our heritage as a democratic people. Our Gov-
ernment's present Far Eastern policy violates our most cherished American political beliefs and threatens our
own democracy.
In China, the largest nation on earth, United States policy, through military, financial and political in-
tervention, is aiding in the imposition of a backward, corrupt, and violently anti-democratic regime which
,the vast majority of the Chinese people themselves repudiate. The most reactionary elements in the United
States are now scheming for further intervention on a scale which will subject the Chinese people to an
autocracy dependent upon outside financial and military help-that is the United States-for its continued
existence. This American intervention also violates the Charter of the United Nations. ,
In Japan, many observers, Americans and others, are deeply disturbed over the practically unilateral
American occupation which seems less concerned about eradicating the reactionary elements responsible for
Pearl Harbor than in now harnessing these elements to the dangerous ambitions of an anti-democratic Amer-
ican group.
In the Philippines, the American Government is giving energetic support to Filipino collaborationists
and other betrayers of their country's independence; and by imposing upon the Philippines economic con-
ditions inimical to their development as a free nation, is making a mockery of Philippine independence.
In Indonesia, the people struggling against their Dutch oppressors have been forsaken by an American
policy evidently geared to safeguarding the status quo rather than to giving encouragement to those seeking
freedom and a rising standard of living.
In Southern Korea, where American occupation forces now rule over people who were our allies in the
war, economic chaos and political fascism are the fruits of American policy.
The American democratic. heritage _and..rlestinv_ is now suffering what _may prove irrevocable damage from
the present Far Eastern policy of our Government. This policy is costing us tax-payers billions of futile dollars;
it is postponing the healthy trans-Pacific trade we should be enjoying; it is creating conditions that contribute
toward an economic depression here at home; it is fast making enemies of the millions of Asia who are our natural
allies in the desire for a peaceful and democratic world; it is engendering international frictions which can easily
lead us into another war.
It is time for democratic American citizens to act. In addition to organizational delegates and observers we
invite individuals to attend as visitors.
This Conference will bring together citizens who wish to secure the facts and understand the issues related
to Far Eastern policy, and to discuss the means of effective citizenship action on that policy. The Conference will
assist the delegates and individuals to carry back to their organizations and communities the facts, insights, con-
victions and suggested methods of action necessary at this time. All decisions of the Conference will come out of
floor discussion and, we hope, will be implemented in whole or in part, by each organization in its own way.
