Abstract

The "Amerasia" Case, II
Shelton, Willard | June 24, 1950 issue

add to cart   close window

The Amerasia case was a nasty incident. Hundreds of government documents, papers, and summaries or paraphrases of papers were found in the Amerasia office. Certain aspects of the case have never been cleared up, but the facts obtainable show no justification for the accusations of a Justice Department "fix" or whitewash and an alleged pro-Communist State Department bloc which "sold out" Chiang Kai-shek. But the uproar that has developed is simply McCarthyism. It is compounded of U.S. senator James McCarthy trying to bolster up McCarthy, and the special New York grand jury clearing the Justice Department, and the McCarthyites instantly getting a statement from the grand-jury foreman to give them a basis for continuing the clamor.
