Formosa Straits
Sir,—The preaching, self righteous style in the reported reply by President Eisenhower to a recent letter from the Soviet Premier, Mr Khrushchev, expresses the hypocrisy in United States’ diplomacy concerning Formosa. The ’ Kuomin-tang regime in China during and after the Japanese invasion was incompetent and stinkingly corrupt, facts well known to the United States Government. General Stillwell, United States adviser to Chiang Kai-shek, contemptuously referred to him as “the peanut.” Driven from the mainland, the Kuomin-tang clique was immediately given protection by the United States Navy and still is. It was by the Truman Democratic administration first and that policy has continued with the Eisenhower Republican Government. This policy as regards Formosa is very useful in the maintenance of world tension which promotes highly profitable armament contracts and high salaried jobs in the forces.—Yours, etc., A.H.S.H. September 22, 1958.
