Abstract

Formosa's Future

January 21, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The Administration has proposed a more than 80 percent increase in new foreign-aid money. Coincidentally, there are again timely communiques from Formosa reporting Communist shelling of the offshore islands and politician Chiang Kai-shek, to make more certain that he will not be forgotten when foreign-aid booty is passed out. The Free Formosa Movement seems fated never to emerge from the womb. In cautious conversation in careful rendezvous, there are Chinese on Formosa who came from the mainland with Chiang in 1949, and earlier, who think perhaps the U.S. or the United Nations may someday break the island's boredom and deliver them from their exile, from the police state that Chiang has set up to protect his fragile hallucinations.
