MacArthur Denies Backing Chinese Coalition Plan
Gen. Douglas MacArthur rejected as a prevarication any suggestion he supported a coalition between Chinese Communists and Nationalists. He told Sen. Knowland that U S efforts in 1944 45 to form a unity government were a great diplomatic blunder and warned Americans now pay in blood and disaster. The exchange followed a leaked telegram tying him to proposals to unite major Chinese groups for a democratic China.
