American policy is based on the idea that to give unmerited attention to unofficial feelers will lead Jap militarists to believe the U.S. would actually accept terms short of unconditional surrender. |

APOLOGY
Maj. Gen. C. L. Chennault, CG of the 14th Air Force, wrote the Roundup repudiating a story published April 9 characterizing Maj. Stanley Wallace as being a "former AVG-er who had returned to the scenes of his early exploits at Lashio." Chennault declared Wallace had never been at Lashio as a member of the AVG, that he had in fact, resigned before any pilots were sent there. Roundup contacted 10th Air Force Headquarters whence the story originated. Word from 10th Air Force says simply that the Public Relations Officer of the outfit to which Wallace was attached misconstrued the facts. To old Roundup reader and AVG expert Chennault, a retraction, in justice to the memory of his gallant airmen who were at Lashio in April, 1942. |
