IAcheson Admits China Fooled
II. S, Lists Steps in Intervention

Arthur reported his forces were
sin hostile contact" with Chinese
Red units.
On November s. Gen. Mac
Arthur said he had destroyed he
North Korean armies but faced
a new fresh army"-the Chinese
Communists.
On November 7. Gen, Mac
Arthur said that if the Chinese
buildup continued, he might be
forced to retreat in North Korea.
On November 8, The view in
Washington was that he Chinese
Reds were trying to halt the U.N..
advance in Korea and keep a
Communist regime in being on
Korean soil.
Macarthur Report Recalled.
On November "a. the Washing
ton estimate was that the Chinese
objective was to obtain U.N. with
drawal from North Korea "by in
timidation and diplomatic means
but in case of failure of these
means there would be increasing
intervention"
On the same day, Gen. MacAr-
thur reported the big new U. N.
offensive in North Korea was pro-
ceeding according to schedule"
On November 28 Gen. MacAr-
thur reported more than 100000
Chinese troops had plunged into
the fight. He declared I'VE face
an entirely new war
Mr.. Acheson commented simply
'The estimates of intention turned
out to be wrong, although from
October, there was increasing evi-
dence that they could" meaning
that the Chinese could intervene
Under further quizzing by Sena-
tor Saltonstall, the Secretary read
the estimates of Gen. Macarthur
at the October Wake Island meet
ing participated in by President
Truman.
Gen. Macarthur was quoted as
saying "We are no longer fearful
of their intervention" referring to
the Chinese. He was reportd to
believe that "only $4,000 to $4,000
could be gotten across the Yalu
and "if the Chinese tried
to get down to Pyongyang there
would be the greatest slaughter. -
Mr.. Acheson said THAT turned
out to be an error that they could
only get $4,000 to $4,000 men
across the river, and if they tried
to get down to the south, there
would be great slaughter. They
did and in considerably larger
numbers"

the resources of China in a fight
which is OF no real profit to
China; and that the war will then
stop. and a settlement will be
made, which will have accom-
plished the military purposes of
the U. N.
We hope then that it will be
possible to go forward with the
political purposes of the U. NJ,
and achieve those through dis
cussion and agreement.

Secretary of State Acheson yes
Iterday agreed with Senator Sal
Itonstall, Republican, of Massa
lchusetts, that the Chinese Com
munists really fooled" the United
States about their intentions tt
intervene in the Korean war.
Senator Saltonstall listened tt
Ia long recital by Mr.. Achesor
about United States intelligence
Estimates of the intentions o.
Chinese Reds last fall, and ther
commented:
They really fooled us when i
comes right down to it, didn't
they?"
yes, SIR" said the Secretary.
Mr.. Acheson explained that tht
central intelligence agency ir
Washington co-ordinated all in.
formation coming to the State
Department. the Defense Depart.
ment and other branches of Gov.
ernment.
The Secretary then gave this
chronological account of the esti-
mates on Chinese intervention in
the Korean war:
Between June Is, 1850. the day
the war began, and September 26
the estimates regarded interven-
ton as improbable, barring Soviet
decision to precipitate global
war"
In late September, India ad-
vised that Chinese Communist of
flcials had stated China would
intervene ''if we crossed the 38th
Parallel"
On October 3, the Red Chinese
foreign minister informed the In
dian ambassador at Peiping that
China would send troops to de-
fend North Korea if United Ma
tions forces crossed the 38th
Parallel. The minister said this
would not be done if only South
Korean troops entered North
Korea. ~
Similar Statements Made.
Similar statements were made
by the Chinese Communists to Of
f1cials Of other governments. But
on october 10 the State Depart
ment believed Intervention still
was unlikely although these
threats could not be dismissed as
mere bluff"
On October 26 the first Chinese
prisoner was captured so that
you began to know at that point,
that something was happening. u
On November 4. Gen. Mac
Arthur reported that intervention
was a distinct possibility but still
uncertain.

Guidance Paper
On Formoso

Senator Knowland.-If I under.
stand you correctly, in discussing
special guidance paper No. 2s
dated December %, 1949, it was
to prepare world opinion that the
loss OF Formosa was not really q
serious blow.
At the same time, If under
stand you correctly. you do main.
tain that Formosa is and was OF
a strategic Importance and should
not be allowed to fall into un-
friendly hands. is that a fair
resume of your testimony in that
regard?
Secty. AcheSon.-With a quail
f1cation on the latter, the very
last thing you said, where you
said it should not be allowed to
fall into hostile hands.
! The desire was that it should
not fall, but until the 25h of June,
1850. the Government had decided
that it could not employ the
armed forces of the United States
to prevent that from happening,
and that makes a very grave
qualification.
Senator Knowland. Now, Mr..
Secretary, I would like to ask you
specifically at what time and by
whom was the Department of
State ever advised that the island
was not of strategic Importance
TO the United States?
Mr.. Acheson-May I, first OF all.
say that this is a policy informa-
ton paper: this is not a state
ment of the United States policy
toward the Far East.
Senator Knowland-You were
advising $50 official American rep
Iresentatives abroad.
Mr.. Acheson-I just wanted to
correct the title. In answer
Ito your question. the State De-
Ipartment was not advised by the
Joint Chiefs Of Staff or by anyone
that Formosa was of no strategic
Importance to the United States.
That I do not think is what this
paragraph says.
Mistaken Conceptions.
I think this paragraph talks
about mistaken conceptions of its
strategic Importance to the United
States in defense Of the Pacific.
There had been a great deal
of talk. both before and after this
paper was issued, that the loss of
Formosa would be catastrophe
to the defense of the United
States; indeed, there have been
statements to the effect that. if
1T were lost, the defense of the
United States would be thrown
back to our Western Coast. That.
I think, is not a view which has
been held within the Government.
Senator Knowland- You
are familiar with the fact, are
you not. Mr.. Secretary, from
reading the testimony before this
committee that Secretary Mar
shall, Gen. Bradley, Gen. Collins,
Gen. Vandenberg and Admiral
Sherman have all stated that the
island was of strategic Importance
and that it should not be allowed
to fall into unfriendly hands?
MIR. Acheson-I never had the
slightest doubt about the fact
that it was of strategic impor-
tance and that our Chiefs of Staff
thought so. and that means
should be taken. if they could be
taken short of employing our
forces. to prevent it from falling
into hostile hands.
That restriction as to the use
|of our forces was changed as of
June Is. 1850.

Peace Treaty
For Japan

Senator Hickenlooper.-Isn't 1t
q practical fact, Mr.. Secretary
that in connection with the active
development of the proposed or
possible terms of the Japanese
peace treaty. so far as we are
concerned, that there are only
two men of stature and substantial
position who have had any sub
stantial amount to do with direc&
contact and discussion with the
Japanese people. one being Gen.
Macarthur, and the other, Am
bassador Dulles?' That is, they
have been the two persons having
top assignments in connection
with that activity?
Mr.. AcheSon.-They are the two
persons who had most to do with
that in Japan The political
advisor to General Macarthur,
Ambassador Sebald, has had a
great deal to do with it 80.
Senator Hickenlooper-I under
stand. The point I am attempting
to lead up. to is simply this: That
now Gen. Macarthur has been re-
called and relieved, creating a
matter of concern without any
doubt, If we can trust any sub
stantial portion of the reports
that come out Of Japan, cerating
concern and wonder in the minds
of the japanese people and leav-
ing today Ambassador Dulles as
the other one alone of the two
men who had physically been the
top authorized officials of our Gov
ernment to conduct these nego-
tiations ..
So far as the japanese people
and a treaty of peace is concerned,
would you say that it is our OBJ
ject to negotiate a treaty of peace
with Japan in concert with our
Allies if possible that returns
Japan to a state of a sovereign
nation with as few inhibitions
upon Japan's future activities as
possible?
Issue Made Clear.
Mr.. Acheson-Yes, sir, I should
say that. We have made that very
clear in our recent answer to the
Russian note. I made it quite
clear in q speech which made in
April, I believe. Mr.. Dulles made
it very clear in a speech which he
made in Tokyo-on two occasions.
Senator Hickenlooper-. Is
1t our policy at the present time
in connection with peace treaties,
our expressed policies to the Jap
anese or otherwise to participate
ing nations that we insist that
there be no economic restrictions
on japan in connection with the
peace treaty such as restrictions
on their ability to build ships and
their ability to go into textiles
and matters of that kind?
1s it our policy to not restrict
them In that field?
Secretary Acheson-Yes, sir: we
have taken o very strong position

an armiStice or q settlement O.
the Korean war?
Mr.. Acheson-Yes, sir; I thinl
that is true.
Senator MorSe-Am correct II
my understanding that those ne.
gotiations had gone to such 6
point that a draft of a tentative
proposal as to the terms Of set.
tlement was being circulated
among the officials Of other gov
ernments by you as Secretary o1
State?
Mr.. AcheSon - Well, I would
not-in general the answer is yes
to your question. would not want
to give the impression that the
proposed statement went into de-
tailed terms but it laid down the
broad basis of q settlement in
Korea. -.
Senator Morse.-Did that por-
ton of Gen. MacArthur'S ulti-
matum to the Chinese Communist
military leaders, which indicated
that If they didn't surrender, ex-
tended military action would be
taken against them beyond Korea,
disagree with the principles that
were set forth in the draft of a
proposed basis for settlement of
hostilities in Korea, which the
President of the United States
had authorized you to circulate
among the heads of our allied
governments?
Secretary Acheson.-The state
ment Of Gen. Macarthur con-
tained in it what might very we'll
be interpreted by some as being
an implied threat to extend the
war. There was no such express
sion in any way in the proposed
statement of the President. nor
was it the policy to make such a
threat.
Not Sent to Macarthur.
Senator Morse.-Is it true that
a copy Of the draft setting forth
the general principles being pro-
posed by the United States Gov
ernment for the settlement of
hostilities in Korea was not sent
to Gen. Macarthur?
Mr.. Acheson-It is correct that
1t was not sent, yes. sir.
Senator Morse.-Is it true that
1t is your understanding that Gen.
Macarthur was definitely notified
that the President of the United
States had authorized negotia-
tionS for the settlement of hos
tilities in Korea by way of direct
Ing that document be prepared
for purposes of negotiating a set
tlement and that such negotia-
tions were under way?
Mr.. Acheson-I think the mes
sage Of March 20 is a clear notifi-
cation to that effect.
Senator Morse. is 1t your
opinion that his failure to obtain
a clearance before he issued his
ultimatum of terms of surrender
greatly embarrassed the President |
of the United States in his rela-
tionShips with our allies?
Mr.. Acheson-Yes, sir, think
1t did.
Senator Morse. Is it your
opinion. in view of the statement
that Gen. Macarthur issued to
the Communist Chinese leaders,
which we have been discussing,
the impression was created that
the United States was speaking
with two voices on ASiatic pol
icy-one Gen. Macarthur and the
other the President of the United
States?
Mr.. Acheson-Yes, sir.

u. S. Program
For Victory


Senator Hickenlooper-Mr. Sec
retary, I have asked repeatedly
witnesses. the military ones who
have been on the stand here, what
lis our program for victory in
Korea. I have been unable up till
now to get any clear understand
ing of what our program for
victory in Korea is understand
that it is our policy to have a
victory in Korea; it's our policy
to have peace in Korea.
I am aware of that so-called
policy, which is of course q
policy. But it is the implementa-
ton, what we expect to do to ac-
complish it, and what specific
things, not just the fact that we
may hope that the Cinnamon will
get tired Of fighting and quit and
then we will have an indetermi-
nate period Of unrest; but where
do we go?
Now. for instance, Gen. Ridgway
lis quoted today in the paper as
saying we have quit chasing the
Reds. Now I don't know what
that means. Does it mean that
we have established a line in
Korea that we are not going be-
yond? Can you shed some light
on that?
Mr.. Acheson-I have tried to,
in answers to other questions
which have been asked me.
think should not try to get into
what I think the military cam
paign is going to be because that
is a matter that the military au-
thoritieS are much better quail
fed than I am to speak on.
Military Purpose.
What I have tried to make clear
was that the military purpose is
to repel this armed attack; that
is, to throw it back, stop it, and
then to create peace and security
in that area.
The program has been to con-
fine the hostilities to Korea as
the least dangerous and most ef-
fective way of coming to a situa-
ton where both the attack stops
and the desire to renew it stops.
We think that if the campaign
is continued in that way, we have
the best chance that we have in
any way We know of the Chinese
being brought to the conclusion
that they cannot achieve their
purpose, which is to drive the
United Nations forces out OF
Korea; that they will suffer very
disastrous losses to themselves
and a great many harmful results
will happen to them in the way
OF the losses of their trained
manpower. and the absorption OF
