Chinese Blow Not A Surprise Says Mac Aid
General Willoughby, chief intelligence officer, says China’s entry into Korea was not a monumental surprise. He notes Chinese buildup was known and only a reconnaissance force could reveal true intentions. He defends the Nov 24 attack as not a military defeat and cites the UN Eighth Army’s efforts against 600,000 to 700,000 Chinese troops. Willoughby plans retirement and a Washington testimony calendar.

1949 Formosa policy explained by Acheson debate
Secretary Acheson testified before Senate committees on a 1949 State Department view that no U S aid short of armed intervention could save Formosa from the Communists, and that Formosa remained strategically important to U S defense though a later consular note said it had no special military significance. The memorandum was released after a committee vote, showing broad agreement that loss of Formosa was anticipated and that only major armed intervention could ensure Taiwan’s survival, with the paper arguing the stance was uniform across government branches.
