6927 April 25, 1951 Personal Dear Mr. Ambassador: I can't tell you how very much I appreciated yours of the eighteenth. You, of course, know your history and understand that there is only one pro- cedure to be followed in the case about which you wrote me. I'll never understand the attitude of General MacArthur, He understands military procedure and he also knows better than to try to run the policy of the United States Government from the Far East, If he didn't know better before he knows now.
