Congress Led China Deals Says Wedemeyer Testimony
Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer told a Senate Far Eastern policy panel that Congress produced all constructive ideas for China policy since the war and that the State Department blocked those ideas. He said uncertainty existed about postwar American policy as Communists gained ground in China while Nationalists were displaced. He admitted a 1945 suggestion to bring Russia into the Japan war was a mistake and lowered his view of four wartime State Department advisers, whom he said often produced reports critical of the Nationalists and favorable to the Communists.
