Knowland says China release tied to appeasement
Senator Knowland told a Newspaper Advertising Executives luncheon that Red China set appeasement as the release price for 11 U S airmen. He praised Hammarskjold’s UN mission as a failure by any fair yardstick and warned of a massive propaganda push at the UN to quiet analysis. He cited Communist demands for UN admission, trade reopening, Formosa policy reversal, and broader Red expansion as the standards for easing tensions. Eisenhower urged against talk of reprisal despite the airmen’s continued detention.
