Marshall testimony notes clash over MacArthur Korea plan
Secretary of Defense Marshall told senators that General MacArthur’s Korea proposals risk an all out war with the Soviet Union. He said the United States discussed some of MacArthur’s ideas, including naval actions against China, but discarded them as the war shifted in Korea. Marshall defended the Truman policy to deny Formosa to China and oppose Red seatage in the UN, while portraying MacArthur as out of step with established policy and ultimately dismissed for public disagreement.
