Truman ‘Explains’
To Mac Arthur '
About U. S. Policy
(Continued from Page One)
night, you will understand why
my action of the 26th in directing
! the withdrawal of your message
| to the Veterans of Foreign Wars
was necessary.
“General Collins and Admiral
Sherman have given me a com
prehensive report of their con
| versations with you and of their
visit to the United Nations forces
now fighting under your com
mand in Korea. Their reports
were most satisfactory and highly
gratifying to me.”
The letters which Mr. Truman
enclosed were those officially
stating American policy toward
Formosa as communicated by
Austin to Lie, the secretary gener
al of the United Nations.
Gen. J. Lawton Collins, army
chief of staff, and Admiral Forrest
P. Sherman, chief of naval opera
tions, recently returned from a
visit to South Korea.
American officials are watching
with deep concern the reaction j
abroad to the conflict of views be- j
tween the President and MacAr-'
thur on Formosa.
They feared possible loss of con-,
fidence in the sincerity of Ameri
can support of the United Nations,
and even more so among the peo
ples of Asia where communist!
propaganda is expected to exploit |
the incident to the full.
There also was the question,)
which only foreign reaction can
a n s wer, whether MacArthur’s
value as the No. 1 American fig
ure and military leader in the Far
East may be impaired.
In Asia, “face” ranks high in
the motivations and reactions of
the people.
Red Submarine
Officers Study
Secretly On Ships
LONDON, (/P)—The Daily Her
ald in a story from Stockholm
yesterday said Russian submarine
officers are sailing secretly in
Soviet merchant ships to all parts
of the world.
“They are under orders to
achieve pinpoint navigatio n a 1
skill and learn snapshot recogni
tion of foreign vessels in the
shortest possible time,” the dis
patch said.
A. J. McWhinnie, the Herald’s |
Stockhold correspondent, said his
facts were “pieced together from
three authentic sources of infor
mation.” He did not disclose these
sources.
“While prefabricated parts of
submarines are still being carried
by rail and canal to widely-scat
tered bases,” the account contin
ued, “actual assembly of the pre
fabricated hulls and machinery
has been slowed down for the
training, sea time and skill of the
crews to catch up.
“My information is that the to
tal of Russian submarines has
reached 380.”
