Conference, because they felt then it would then be easier to fight at the
Conference for a stabilized international position; the Soviets, however,
insisted that the talks must be protracted until the end of the San Francisco
Conffence,, and a decision on what attitude is to be taken toward the cease-
fire talks should then be reached against the background of the new world

Soviet and Chinese military persona at which the problem was discussed. At
the end of the meeting it was decided to adopt the Soviet proposals.

power meeting, and to push it was clearly the re eon for the Soviets'
attending the San Francisco Conference. The purpose of the meeting was
to gain international recognition for the Chinese Communists in order to
stabilize their rule in China.. Soviet efforts along this line are the
result of Chinese demands.
