AUGUST 29, 1950
SERVICE*
The President this morning sent the following message to
General of the Army Douglas MacArthur:
I am sending you for your information the text of a
letter which I sent to Ambassador Austin dated August 27. I am
sure that when you examine this letter, and the letter which
Ambassador Austin addressed to Trygve Lie on August 25 (a copy
of which I am told was sent your headquarters that night), you
will understand why my action of the 26th in directing the with-
drawal of your message to the Veterans of Foreign Wars was necessary.
General Collins and Admiral Sherman have given me a
comprehensive report of their conversations with you and of their
visit to the United Nations forces now fighting under your command
in Korea. Their reports were most satisfactory and highly
gratifying to me.
The text of the letter to Ambassador Austin referred to
above follows:
(Text of August 27 letter to Ambassador Austin has
already been released.)
