standable. Manchuria was at
that time q neutral territory.
Any attempt to follow the de-
feated North Koreans across

contrayened international reg

legitimate grounds to join the

II is true, the State Depart

I, 1850, shortly after the rout
OF our 9Th Army. Prime Min
lister Clement Attlee did come
hastily to Washington to find
out from President Truman
what our intentions were re-
garding possible retaliation
against the Chinese Commu-
nists, And it is assumed that
he was assured that despite
the clamor of public opinion
In this country, no drastic
action, such as bombing Of
the Manchurian lines Of COM
munications and military in
stalIatioas, was contemplated
without previous consultations
with the u. N. participants in
the Korean campaign.
This thesis Of the State De-

The Monchurion Sanctuary

The Peiptng> high command
had begun TO transfer its best
trained troops from the south
to Manchuria In May. Late
that month precise informa-
ton to that effect was COM
municated to our Government
by the Chinese Nationalist in
telligence. This was largely
discounted as "Taipei propa-
ganda." Definite information
about the concentration Of
three Communist route armies
along the Yalu River was, hove
ever, in possession Of the PEN
tagon sometime at the end Of
September. The presence Of
that imposing force worried
our field commanders but the
thesis that this was merely in
tended to protect China's neu-
traiity was accepted by milf
tary men and diplomats. So
was the positive Intelligence
that unusually large quantities
Of heavy military equipment
were reaching Manchuria from
the USSR.
The Senate com mittee
would like to establish by doc
uments and testimony Of the
men in office at that time
whether, after those reports
reached Washington, any
agreement was made with our
British ally to prevent the
extension Of the war by con-
sidering Manchuria as .

ment was reached, could Mac
lean have communicated it to
his Muscovite contacts in Lon
don?
Although the Chinese COM
munists were ready for action
early In October, they did not
strike until late in November.
Did they walt so long in order
to ascertain whether America
would retaliate with its power

that an agreement not to
