PAGE TWO OF No. 432 FROM CHUNGKING
 
SOLDIER WHO REQUIRES ONLY EQUIPTMENT AND LEADERSHIP TO BE EQUAL OF
ANYONE.
     3. FAILURE TO REPORT RECENTLY HAS BEEN DUE TO MY PRESENCE WITH
THE TROOPS OVER SIXTEEN HUNDRED AIR MILES FROM CHUNGKING, AND VERY
BAD COMMUNICATIONS.  SITUATION HERE EXTREMELY COMPLICATED BY
SUSPICION OF BRITISH AND CHINESE METHODS OF LONG RANGE COMMAND.
CONFERRING WITH GENERALISSIMO IN HOPE OF ARRIVING AT SOME
SATISFACTORY SOLUTION.  ACCEPTANCE BY CHINESE OF BRITISH HIGH
COMMAND IN BURMA DOES NOT CURE THE SITUATION, ALTHOUGH IT WOULD
WORK IF I COULD GET A FREE HAND IN CONDUCT OF OPERATIONS.
 
                                   STILLWELL
