Formosa policy judged vindicating MacArthur stance
In New York Maj. Gen Court ney Whitney, MacArthur's ally, said the admin istration decision to provide military aid to Formosa appeared to vindicate MacArthur. He argued keeping Formosa in friendly hands is vital to Western Pacific security, and suggested Chinese troops on the island should press the Communist mainland. The policy, tied to the Seventh Fleet and aid to Nationalists, aims to prevent Red Chinese control of Formosa.
