U.S.. Hands Off Fornoso' Stonc
Blasts NQtionaListsI Aid HOPES
Chinese Officials Feel
Deeply Dismoyed, but
Refuse to Comment
By the Associotsd Press

TAIPEI. Formosa, Jan. g.
President Truman's "hands off
Formosa" statement ripped to
shreds big balloon of hopes
blown up by Chinese Nationalist
news predictions of American in
tervention here.
All senior Nationalist officials
refused comment on the Presi-
dents statement. One confided {:
THE matter Is very delicate.
We do not like to criticize the
head of a friendly state
Among officials who took the
mo comment" line were advisers
to Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek. Also silent were Princeton
educated Gov. K. c. WI, Foreign
Minister George Yeh and Gen.
Chen Cheng. Southeast China
military commander and a grad
uate of Virginia Military Institute.
Truman Causes Dismay.
But there was no mistaking
that Mr.. Truman's statement
caused concern and dismay. It
convinced the Nationalists the
United States Is not going to
change the judgment passed in
the State Departments White
Paper on China.
It left them with the sad reali-
zation that they can count only
on themselves to hold Formosa. It
gave some of them the same sink
ing feeling they had when the
Reds approached Canton and
later Chunking and Chengtu-
successive Nationalist capitals lost
to the Communists.
It made them see that Taipeh,
their fifth capital since the fall
of Marking, is their last one unless
they can hold Formosa.
American aid for Formosa con-
tinues on its former basis with
the Economic Cooperation Ad-
ministration and its subsidiary, a
joint commission on rural recon-
struction, helping to shore up the
economy.
q. The ECA branch here an
nounced it would release $780,
600 worth Of commodities during
January in an effort to stabilize
the market and control prices.
This is more than has been re-
leased in any past month.
I'VE are also looking forward
to heavy program for the month
of February" said ECA Regional
Director L. F. Craig.
Chinese officialdom still persists
in the hope the United States
might release part Of the esti-
mated $84 4,000. 900 in frozen ECA
China funds.
They also hope Mr.. Truman
might yet spend in Formosa some
Of the $75, 5,00o, 900 Congress grant,
ed him to combat Communism in
the general area Of China.

From Yesterdays Last Edition..

By The Associated Pres.
PRAGUE, Jan. 5.-The Commu-
nist-led Czech government today
confiscated the Czech-language
bulletin of the United States
Information Service carrying the
text OF the United States note
ordering the closing Of Hungarian
consulates in Cleveland. and New
York.
At the same time, the govern
ment expelled 26-year-old Cali
fornian who had been studying
here on a Czech scholarship.
The USIS bulletin is mailed to
some 1000 Czechs daily. Joseph
Kolarek. Press Attache Of the
United States Embassy. said there
was no doubt" that the inclusion
Of the United States note was the
cause Of the seizure. The con-
sulates were ordered closed be-
cause Of Hungarian treatment of
Americans.
The expelled student is Savel
Kliachko, Palo Alto. Calf. a

needs no further explanation than
that"

that China has received q knock
out blow, not from her foes but
from her friends and former
allies"
Britain was the fourth non-
Communist nation to recognize
the Peiping government. India
and Pakistan, both members of
the British commonwealth; Bur-
ma, rs well as Yugoslavia, Soviet
Russia and the Soviet satellites
previously had taken the recog-
milton action.
Queried on Formosa.
A reporter asked q British
Foreign ONCE spokesman whether
recognition of the Communists
comedies them sovereignty over
Formosa. Japanese held through
the war and earmarked as Chinese
territory BY Britain, the United
States and China at Cairo in
194s.
The spokesman refused to give
> direct answer.
THE handing over Of Formosa
from Japan to China" he said,
was undertaken by his majesty's
government in common with other
governments at the time Of the
japanese surrender. Final legal
ization of that process viii take
place at the Japanese peace con-
ference"
In Ottawa, it was learned that
Canada's decision to withhold
action on Chinese Communist
recognition, at least until after
the British commonwealth con-
ference in Ceyion, would not be
affected by the British move.
Sides With Russia in u. N.
Britain's long foreshadowed
move automatically does these
things:
/. Ranges her with Russia
against continued Chinese Ma
tionalist representation on the
United Nations Security Council.
India and Yugoslavia, also Coun-
Gil members, have broken of
relations with the Nationalist re-
gime and recognized the Reds.
The United States still backs the
Nationalists as legal rulers Of
China. Other Council members
who have still to make up their
minds on the question are France,
Egypt, Ecuador, Cuba, Norway.

the big Western powers to expand

Jessup Stands Firm
On nStatementU.S.Wi
Not Abandon China
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO. Jan. American
Ambassador at : Large Philip C..
Jessup today stuck by his state
ment that the United States has
not abandoned and will not aban-
don China.
DR.. Jessup was asked If he still
stood by that statement in view of
President Trumans announce
ment that. the United States will
refuse to intervene to save For
mosa-last stronghold of the tot
tering Chinese Nationalist gov
eminent.
Through spokesman DR.. Jessup
said he had mo reason to make
any change" in his statement of
yesterday.
The Ambassador said yesterday
that the United States has not
written of" China. The United
States does not consider that
country lost" he added, even
though the Chinese Communists
control most of it.
To Continue Friendship.
He said the United States in
tends to continue it's traditional
policy Of friendship and support
for the Chinese people.
Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters
today outlined to DR.. Jessup its
views on Japan's performance,
problems and possibilities.
DR.. Jessup said he will discuss
a Japanese peace treaty with
Gen. Macarthur. An aide said
DR.. Jessup will consult again to-
morrow with headquarters Off
cials.
President Truman's "hands-off
Formosa" policy brought general
concern here during the day.
Macarthur Comment Unlikely.
1t was extremely unlikely that
Gen. Macarthur or any responsible
military official would comment
on the Presidents statement that
the United States would not arm
the Chinese Nationalists nor help
to defend the island of China's
southeast coast from the Com
munists.
But the statement ended one
phase of prolonged effort by the
American commander in Asia to
persuade Washington to take
extraordinary measures to bolster
Americas defense line in the
Western Pacific.
American officers here have
little II any expectation that the
Nationalists will hold Formosa.
It's fall would mean that the
chain of American air bases from
Japan down through Okinawa to
the Philippines would be pierced.
Formosa Is within easy striking
distance Of okinawa and the
Philippines. 49,,
