MacArthur testifies on joint chiefs Korea policy
General MacArthur told senators behind closed doors that the Joint Chiefs of Staff in January urged a naval blockade of Red China, air operations over Manchuria, and supply backing for Chinese Nationalists to aid Korea. He said he believes the White House overruled those recommendations and held that the United Nations forces could finish the war sooner with full air and naval support. He warned that without allowing broader operations, more ground troops would be needed to push toward victory and predicted possible limits in Soviet action in the Far East.

Did MacArthur actually say China would not fight
Washington reports on Wake Island talks show President Truman pressed MacArthur about Chinese or Soviet interference in Korea. MacArthur reportedly answered very little but the transcript notes possible ambiguity about whether that referred to intervention success or actual fighting. The 5,000 word summary released by Senate committees covers only part of the private talks and notes no documentation of note taking.
