民國三十八年(一九四九)四月,南京淪陷前夕,蔣中正與李宗仁、何應欽等在杭州對時局發展進行了一次談話,是為「杭州會談」,決定在中國國民黨內成立一個「非常委員會」,以協助李宗仁,並建立黨政關係之常軌。但是直到七月中,非常委員會才正式成立,中間隔了將近三個月。在這三個月中,圍繞著非常委員會,從委員會應否成立,到委員會的人事安排,引發了一連串的政治效應,反映在這些政治效應的是蔣中正與李宗仁兩人的衝突與妥協。本文將通過檔案資料及相關當事人留存的紀錄或回憶,對非常委員會的成立經過作一探討,並藉以了解蔣、李關係之一斑。
On the eve of the ROC government forces’ evacuation from Nanking late in April 1949, Chieng Kai-shek, then in temporary retirement from the presidency, talked with Acting President Li Tsung-jen and General Ho Ying-chin in Hangchow and decided to set up an Emergency Council which, as the Kuomintang’s highest policy-making organ, Was to put party-government interactions on a proper track and help facilitate Li’s work. But the actual launching of the council had to wait nearly three months, till midJuly. Political repercussions were recorded in the meantime, revolving around issues ranging from the organ’s necessity to its lineup, all reflecting Chinag’s claskes and compromises with Li Tsung-jen. By going through archives materials as well as other pertinent records and recollections, this paper attempts a factual depiction of the Emergency Council’s course, thereby casting light on some aspects of the Chiang-Li relationship.
