Russo Chinese Deal

1t is believed that the Kremlin
used this concentration of U. S.
troops near Manchurian dams as
one of its main arguments to bring
Chinese Communists into the war,
though undoubtedly there were
other factors. These probably
were:
l. Pledge of Russian air support.
Hitherto in the Korean war no
Russian pilots have been in COM
bat and only a few Russian planes.
In the last week, Russian planes
have appeared from Manchuria.
2. A deal whereby China takes
over Tibet, and later India, in re-
turn for intervention in Korea.
3. A deal whereby China takes
over French Indo- China when and
if the French are driven out, as
now seems likely.
These were some of the things
the State Department feared might
happen if we tangled with China
over Formosa; the reason Truman
announced publicly that the Amer
lean fleet would be withdrawn
from Chinese waters when the
situation was more stable; and why
we have used dancing on eggs
diplomacy.

people of Los Angeles if a Mexican
army should approach Boulder
Dam, which supplies much of their
water.
Therefore, the State Department
long ago urged that u N. troops
stop 40 miles this side of the Man
churian border. The Joint Chiefs
of Staff heartily concurred in this,
and this was one of the main points
discussed with. General Macarthur
at Wake Island. At that time Mac
Arthur agreed.
However, when he reached the
s0-mile neutrality belt, he wired
Washington for permission to send
South Korean troops beyond to the
Manchurian border. He said that
they were to go on hopping up
missions and as military police to
maintain order.
However, MacArthur's intelli-
gence was faulty and the South
Korean troops found themselves
badly outnumbered. When they got
into trouble, Macarthur wired
Washington for permission to send
U. S. troops to rescue them.
While the Joint Chiefs of Staff
didn't like this, they found it diff
ficult to overrule the commander
in the field, and wired permission.
