COMMUNIST MOVE ON TSINGTAO
STATEMENT BY U.S. COMMANDER NANKING, June 19. The United States Marine commander at Tsingtao, Brigadier-General Walter Clement, said that his forces would help the Chinese authorities to “maintain peace and order” at this vital Shangtung port should the Communists attack. He declined to say whether the Marines would defend the city itself should the Communists—now reported on the move on all sides of Tsingtao—move against the port’s defences. Brigadier-General Clement added that he did not wish to amplify his statement regarding the maintenance of peace and order, but it was apparent what he meant.
