British General Supports Bombing Manchuria Bases
An anonymous informant reports Lt. Gen. Sir H. C. H. Robertson, commander of Commonwealth forces in Korea, told British newsmen April 10 that General MacArthur's plan to bomb red Chinese bases in Manchuria offers the best chance to end the war, though Britain fears widening the conflict. Robertson warned of a costly stalemate if action is delayed, and said advancing into North Korea would strain supply lines and invite Chinese defense. He repeated the argument that deeper incursions increase Allied difficulty in logistics while aiding Chinese redeployments.
