Political Snipping
Much snapping at the heels of President Truman and the Administration
goes on because of the MacArthur affair. The jarring effect of fact is halting
this thoughtless conduct.
The State Republican Council of Oregon Women, Inc.. Bulletin No. 23.
gives a fair sample of thoughtlessness. Here is a part of a paragraph of
the Republican statement: “. . . . The President should have done as a great
president such as Abraham Lincoln would have done, called into his counsel
top ranking men not only in the State Department but in the Armed Services
and those skilled in statescraft and they could have worked out together a
proper solution. It seems incredible that any one man or small clique
would presume to decide this momentous question without most careful
consultation with the object of their wrath and with others who could view
this situation objectively . . . .”
Before the Senate investigating committees Secretary of Defense George
Marshall testified. “Shortly after General MacArthur's statement of March
21. Congressman Joseph Martin of Massachusetts released for publication
a letter addressed to him by General MacArthur, dated March 20. 1951.
This letter was brought to the attention of the President on April 5. There
after, the President called a meeting of his special assistant. Averell Harri
man. the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and General Bradley.
No decision was taken at this meeting, but after full discussion, the President
requested that all records bearing on the subject be brought to his at
tention.”
Marshall's testimony continued, “Oil the following day, Saturday, this same
group again met with the President at 8:50 in the morning for a further
discussion of the subject. It was suggested that the matter be considered
individually over the weekend. The President directed me, as Secretary of
Defense, to secure the views of the Chiefs of Staff from a purely military
point of view.”
Further Marshall testified. "These recommendations were reported to
the President by General Bradley at a meeting the next morning, Monday,
April 9, which was also attended by Mr. Harriman, the Secretary of State,
and myself. With the unanimous concurrence of all those present, the
President at that time took his decision to relieve General MacArthur."
General Marshall's testimony at a later session shows that MacArthur
received a personal letter from the President dated January 13, 19,">1, ex
plaining the Administration's policy in Korea. It is fully apparent that
MacArthur was given every opportunity for mending his ways.
During the Civil war President Lincoln had on his hands an arrogant
general. Lincoln gave that general every opportunity to behave himself.
Lincoln finally had to relieve General McClellan of his command. McClellan
had Presidential ambitions too!
