The rationale for use of this image is that George C. Marshall's visit to Yenan was a significant event, where as the United States was attempting to avert civil war in China. An extensive search for pictures in the public domain of Marshall's visit produced no results. This picture "might" also qualify as government created, as the photographer was in the United States military at the time of the photograph, but retained the picture for personal use (Major Clifford Young, the last Commander of the Dixie Mission). Since I was unsure if this would fall into public domain as a work of a military branch, I elected to upload it as a Fair Use, in a considerably degraded and cropped version of the original.

The photographer was on full-time duty in the Army at the time, and thus is a product of the U.S, government and is not copyright.
