Wedemeyer Says 1945 Message Could Be Read as Coalition Hint
Lt Gen Albert C Wedemeyer testified before the Senate MacArthur committee that a 1945 Washington message read by him with Gen Douglas MacArthur and Adm Spruance could be seen as favoring a coalition between Chinese Nationalists and Communists. He said he never believed a coalition government could be established and blamed Secretary of State Dean Acheson for a misleading impression. He agreed Senator Sparkman that the wording might be interpreted as supporting pressure to unite China under U.S. aid.
