"From the In-ginning," MacAr-

Arthur -aid of t'ommuriist China.
Then the general turned to Ja
pan, where until last Meek h> was

'Ihe Ja|ianese, he said, have
shown since the war a "commend-
ahle will" to learn and a yearning
for political, economic and ^hcial^

! "The r« suits liighly justify my
faith" he said as he ihen turned
' to the Korean war.
"While I wae itot consulted
|prior to the President's decision
to intervene (in Korea), that de
c. ion from ri military *tsndp«''int
proved a "ound one.
"As we hurled hnck the inva«ter

"While no man in his right inind
would advocate "ending our t'orcei
irto rhina—which was never giv-
en a thought ," the tthinese Com-
r unist intervention forced a "de-
mand for drastic changes in mili-
tary planning ... if we were to
defeat the new enemy as we did
the old."
"I have constantly called for new
political decisions essential to a
solution," he continued. "Efforts
have been made to distort my po-
sition. It has been said, in effect,
thai I am a war monger. Nothing
could he further from tlie truth.
"I know war as few men know
ft and nothing to ine is more re-
volting. I have long advocated its
complete abolition."
MacArthur said he felt that the
situation now called for a naval
blockade of China, removal of re-
strictions on "air reconnaissance,"
and removal of restrictions on the
forces of Nationalist China "strik-
ing from Formosa with logistical
sipport."
For these views, he said, he has
been "severely criticised in lay
circles—principally abroad."
And thi*. he said, "despite my
understanding that fr m a mili-
tary standpoint U)c above views

WASHINC.TOX. April 19
President Truman scheduled a
conference with Secretary of State
Dean Acheson at 11:30 a. m. CST,
today—the exact moment Gem
Douglas MacArthur addresses
Congress.
The President and Acheson meet
at the White House every Thurs-
day at U:M a. m.
Nobody in authority would say
in advance what they expected to
discuss at today's meeting while
MacArthur seeks vindication of an
Asiatic policy that clashed with
the Truman-Acheson views and
forced his dismissal.
There's a big TV set in Mr.
Truman's office. It couM ha that
the conference was devoted largely
lo watching and listening to Mac-
Arthur's arguing his case before
Congress. The White House wasn't
saying.
