Oberlin historian predicts no Formosa invasion by Reds
Oberlin history professor E C Carlson argues that U S restraint over Formosa reduces chances of a Chinese Communist invasion. He envisions a possible bargain trading Matsu and Quemoy for formal U S acknowledgment of Formosa’s separate status, while stressing risks if Formosa falls under communism. Carlson cautions that Chiang Kai-shek bears blame for past losses but notes his recent reforms and the adaptability of Nationalist forces. He warns the broader regional struggle would be politically damaging to the United States and calls for cautious, measured defense.
