Smith comments on Formosa policy and MacArthur
Smith, returning from a tour, says Gen Douglas MacArthur opposes using Formosa as a base for either defense or opposition to the Communists. He notes MacArthur’s position, and that Acheson made no pledge to consult Republicans. Smith plans to oppose recognition of the Chinese Communist government for now. He will discuss with a bipartisan Senate Foreign Relations Committee group before any decision.
