Is it not true that when Member of Congress ask questions of the high-ranking military on matters which may come up in Congress for decision, that the high-ranking military must answer those questions in order to give the legislative the information they have to have to base decisions on? 　General MacArthur.　Unquestionably, in my opinion. 　Senator Lodge.　Is there not a distinction between high-ranking military men answering questions of Congress on the one hand, and seeking to stimulate action of Congress on the other? 　General MacArthur.　Perhaps. 　Senator Lodge.　You have not thought to stimulate action in Congress, have you? 　General MacArthur.　Never in the slightest degree. I have never initiated a letter, as far as I can recall, to any Senator or Congressman since I have been in the Far East. 　Senator Lodge.　That is all, Mr. Chairman; thank you. 　Chairman Russell.　Do you want to question now, Senator Knowland? 　Senator Knowland.　Or recess now. whichever you wish. 　Chairman Russell.　You might to go agead for about 15 minutes. 　PROPOSED UN ARMS EMBARGO 　Senator Knowland.　General, before getting to some of the questions I have-----I noticed in the morning papers out of Lake Success, United Nation, New York, this article by the United Press: It says: 　 -------------------------------------------------------- 　The United States today proposed an arms embargo against Communist China so that no soldier in Korea would be a target of a bullet manufactured in the free world. The plan was outline in a private meeting of the United Nations Sanctions Committee, and American Delegate Ernest A. Gross said it would be embodied in a formal resolution early next week. 　 -------------------------------------------------------- 　And then the article goes on. 　Now, General, the war in Korea has been going on for about 10 months; the Chinese have been identified as being in Korea for approximately 6 months. Would you care to give your observations as to whether or not the action in taking this matter up to apply an embargo was expeditious under the circumstances? 　General MacArthur. I am entirely in accord with the action they are taking. I think it is much too late. I think it should have been taken from the very beginning.
