TOP SECRET
6/27/50
Draft No. 2
6/26/50
Copy No. 1 of 10 Copies
In Korea the Government forces which were armed to
prevent border raids and to preserve internal security have
been thrown back, and the ir capi tal captured.
The North
Korean forces were armed by the Soviet Union for this in-
vasion with tanks and fighter planes. In order to permit
the Government forces to retire and reform and to give the
Security Council of the United Nations a further opportunity
take
to obtain a I'll meeting of the Council and unanimous action
to stop this unlawful aggression I have ordered United States
air and sea forces to give the Korean Government forces cover
and support.
The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond all doubt
that Communist Imperialism, centrally directed as it is,
nas passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent
nations and will now use armed invasion and war. It has
defied the orders of the Security Council of the United Nations
issued to preserve international peace and security. In
these circumstances the occupation of Formosa by Communist
forces would be a direct threat to the security of the
Philippines, Indo China, and to United States forces performing
their lawful and necessary functions in the Far East.
