TEN QUESTIONS FOR TRUMAN
Ten questions for President Truman if
he runs on the issue Of peace have been set
forth by cOlumniSt David Lawrence - 10
questions challenging the whole seven-vear
record of Administration foreign policy.
Lawrence said the President would have
to answer the following questions and ex-
plain them to the people:
l. Why, under the Truman-Acheson ad-
mlnlStratiOn was the supervision of atomic
energy secrets so careless that Russia stole
the inside facts about the atom bomb from
under our noses through Klaus Fuchs, whose
entrance into the United States wasn't prop
erly checked by the Department of State?
z Why were $50 billion spent between
l945 and 1850 and yet an adequate Army.
Navy, and Air Force were not available
when the Korean War broke out?
3. Why, when the Communist Chinese
interviewed IN the Korean War, wasn't the
UN Commanding General permitted to fight
the war with maximum military force in
stead Of allowing the Chinese Communists
time to build up air power?
4. Why did the Truman-Acheson ad-
miniStratiOn omit Korea from the American
defense line early in 1850, and why were
American naval forces, including Marines.
Withdrawn from Far Eastern waters-thuS
virtually inviting an enemy attack that year?I
5. Why did the Truman-Acheson adj
mlnlstratlOn withdraw moral support from
Nationalist China and fail to send proper
aid to the NatiOnalists at crucial times in
their fight against the Communists, espe-
clally since aid to anti-cOmmunists was be-
ing given to both Greece and Turkey?
6. Why was Nationalist China given a.
mortal blow by State Department maneuver-I
lngs so that the Communist Chinese we're
able to conquer China and get a powerful
hold in the Far East for Soviet Russia?
Z. Why was General Macarthur dis.
missed, and what are the real facts concern
ing his recommendations?
8. Why wasn't Communist influence in |
the Department of State stopped sooner, and
why were persons under Communist influ-
ence allowed to remain so long in the State
Department?
8. Why did the United States continue
financial and economic aid to Great Britain
after her government had refused to dis
avOw the Red Chinese government and in
sisted instead IN tho rncOUpi+iOy Of +I,o No,..
