Fifty antiwar liberals urge steps on Formosa danger
Forty seven well known Americans who call themselves liberals urge President Eisenhower to extricate the United States from the Formosa Strait threat. They say the U S will not commit forces to defend Matsu and Quemoy and will not let them trigger war. ADA released the telegram signed by figures such as Mrs Franklin D Roosevelt Norman Thomas Elmer Davis India Edwards Reinhold Niebuhr John Haynes Holmes Lloyd Garrison Benjamin Cohen Zechariah Chafee Jr Seymour Harris Alvin Hansen Arthur Schlesinger Jr and others. They affirm U S pledges to defend Formosa and the Pescadores while noting the offshore islands are not essential for Formosa defense. The telegram frames the issue as distinct from the mainland threat.

The liberals declined to declare whether they will defend Quemoy and Matsu if China attacks, saying they would defend them if assaults threaten Formosa. A telegram urged Eisenhower to seek free-nation cooperation to remove war risks, citing Ta chens withdrawals as a precedent. Dulles warned of grave implications from Red China’s air buildup near Formosa, while Knowland planned to press for the Yalta papers and committee chair George downplayed the talk.
