Kennedy set to warn Reds against use of force in Formosa
President Kennedy was to publicly warn Chinese Communists against military force in the Formosa area during a 4 p.m. news conference. Officials said the United States would defend Quemoy and Matsu only if an attack on them seemed part of an assault on Formosa, continuing Eisenhower era policy. A prior warning was delivered to Peiping’s ambassador via U.S. envoy Cabot, urging mutual renunciation of force in the Taiwan Strait.
