Soviet Uses Formosa Issue as Propaganda
The United States faced charges of a "dirty game" in Asia as Moscow cited a December 23 1949 State Department directive urging officials to downplay Formosa's strategic value. Acheson warned the document could aid Soviet propaganda while the committees prepared to publicly unveil the papers amid debates on Far East policy and MacArthur's dismissal. Moscow broadcasts echoed the charge of a dishonest U.S. policy toward Formosa and Communist China.
