Reasof for the alarm was not only the tragically precarious posi- tion of WN troops in Korea, but because Allied diplomats knew what the American public didn’ t—namely, that on three specific occasions, the British made proposals for avoid- ing a clash with China. 1. First the British urged that MacArthur halt UN forces on the 38th parallel. 2. When ums was overruled, the British proposed that MacArthur| halt his army about 40 miles away from the Manchurian border. This proposal was laid before MacAr-| thur at Wake Island and supposed- ly accepted. 3. The British proposed that no move be made to bomb Chinese bases inside Manchuria. MacArthur's opposition to these proposals is why Prime Minister Attlee faced the revolt of about 100 labor members of Parliament.
