I notice from some statements offered in the Congressional Record of April 13 that a reference was made to a statement made by the President of the United States on October 10, 1950, in which the President said with reference to your mission in Korea: -------------------------------------------------------- 　 His mission ---（※引用） -------------------------------------------------------- referring to General MacArthur --- -------------------------------------------------------- 　 has been to repel aggression and to restore international peace and security in the area as called for by the United Nations. He ---（※引用） -------------------------------------------------------- General MacArthur --- -------------------------------------------------------- 　 is carrying out his mission with the imagination, the courage, and the effectiveness which have marked his entire service as one of our greatest military leaders.（※引用） -------------------------------------------------------- General MacArthur, on October 6 Ambassador Warren R. Austin in addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations said this: -------------------------------------------------------- 　 In June and July of this year ---（※引用） -------------------------------------------------------- referring to 1950 --- -------------------------------------------------------- 　 the Security Council of the United Nations gave all the necessarymilitary authority to the United Nations commander to repel the aggressor army and restore peace in Korea.（※引用） -------------------------------------------------------- I understood you, sir, on yesterday to have said that your mission in Korea was to clear Korea of the enemy --- get that enemy out of Korea --- and to make of Korea a free, united, and self-controlled nation. Did I understand you correctly on yesterday, sir. （和訳は１６年１2月号２３１ページをご覧ください） 　General MacArthur. 　That is correct. That is initial resolution that the Security Council passed and the General Assembly confirmed early in October. 　Senator Cain.　General MacArthur, may I ask you, sir, if the mission which was given to you by the United Nations and by the United States and by 53 nations of the United Nations, of which the United States is but a single member of the 53, has ever been changed by higher authority? 　General MacArthur. 　No, sir. The only change that has been made was the directive of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that my primary mission involved the preservation of my forces and the security of Japan. That was, of course, determinative on the tactical dispositions I would take with reference to my command. 　Senator Cain.　I see, sir. Permit me to ask this. I refer to this stated mission, which you have made very clear, which the Ambassador made clear, which the President of the United States made clear, and which 53 members of the United Nations made clear.
