Wedemeyer Jeers State Dept Ideas from Congress
General Albert Wedemeyer told the Senate Far Eastern affairs panel that Congress produced all constructive ideas on China since the war and accused the State Department of blocking them. He said his wartime recommendation to bring Russia into the war against Japan was a mistake. He denied backing the Yalta terms as shaping policy and noted four State Department advisers often criticized Nationalists but praised Communists. He recalled Russia handing Japanese arms to Chinese Communists after Japan’s collapse.
