SOVIET COMMENT ON DISMISSAL
T .. a . LONDON,' April 12. In the first Soviet comment on General MacArthur’s dismissal, the Moscow “Literary Gazette” said it was convincing evidence of the confusion in the camp of the "American warmongers.” It continued: “General MacArthur’s adventures in the Far East have led to an inglorious end tb his career. Now, when the failure of Wall Street’s policy is plain, President Truman has decided to remove the compromised general. However, regardless Of who conducts it—General MacArthur or his successor, Lieutenant-General Ridg-way—-the policy of aggression can end only m disgraceful failure.”
“Pravda” and “Izvestia,” without comment, published a 30-word dispatch from New York alleging that General MacArthur’s dismissal had resulted from his incpmpetence to deal with the situation in Korea.
