Truman Composes Note to MacArthur on Formosa Policy
President Truman sent Gen. Douglas MacArthur a statement of American policy on Formosa and commended his leadership in Korea. The move clarifies MacArthur’s understanding, preserves his prestige, and eases the sting of the Formosa withdrawal message. Secretaries Ross and advisors held back questions as the White House released the letter. Sherman and Matthews testified to the Senate Appropriations Committee on foreign policy, while Johnson and Pace met with Truman afterward.
