COPY OF LETTER
ON FORMOSA POLICY
Washington, August 29.
President Truman today made sure that General MacArthur knows exact- ly what the United States policy is on Formosa. He despatched to the Far East Commander a copy of the letter he sent on Sunday to Mr Warron Austin, the American representative in the United Nations. Mr. Truman's message to General MacArthur followed a Presidential direc- tive that the General withdraw a statement on Formosa, which Gen- eral MacArthur had sent to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Chicago.
Without comment, the White House released a copy of Mr. Trumun's message to General MacArthur, sent this morning,
