and occupation of Korea would cost
$500 million while others estimated

which the Korean economy could
absorb.
2. The General urged the Pres
ident to declare a Truman Doc

against any aggression such as the
Red invasion of South Korea. He
was reported to believe such a
doctrine would be more effective
than military pact similar to the
North Atlantic treaty.
8. Gen. Macarthur proposed in

then this country should go ahead
