U.S. POLICY IN CHINA Increasing Pressure On State Department
LONG-RANGE STRATEGY
Washington, May 30.
The State Department in recent days has been subjected to increas- ing pressure to define its overall policy in the Pacific and Far
East.
United States defence officials, particularly the new Defence Secretary, Louis Johnson, are the latest to have urged Secretary of State Dean Acheson to enunciate some brood policy applying to the Far Eastern situation. Military planners are reliably reported to desire this general policy anuncia- tion in order to provide a framework within which they can lay long- range strategic programmes.
