Wedemeyer Backs Mae In Denials
Lieutenant General Albert C. Wedemeyer defended General Douglas MacArthur in denying any support for a coalitional government uniting Chinese Nationalists and Communists. He disputed Acheson’s reading of a 1945 Tokyo message and rejected the idea that he, Spruance, and MacArthur backed a Nationalist Communist coalition. He also challenged Acheson’s portrayal of his stance on Formosa and urged continued American aided support to the Nationalists to stop communism in the Far East.
