1o CHINA: Nationalist Governor of Taiwan discouraged-US
Charge Strong in. Taipei transmits the opinion of recently
appointed Governor K.C. Wu that the drastic changes
necessary to salvage the economy and to assure the proper
defense of Taiwan could not be effected without the help
of US advisors. Governor Wu added that Chiang Kai-shek's
self-confidence is badly shaken and that advisors would
now be able to dictate "any and all changes o" Strong re
ports that although Wu is making progress in small ways,
major issues are sure to wreck his efforts; the obviously
tired and discouraged Nationalist Governor expects de-
cisively unfavorable developments in the near future, with
66complete failure" probably becoming apparent before the
end of February 1950. The Charge expresses the conviction
that Wu's appeal was not only on instructions from above
but also represented Wu's own last hope to achieve some-
thing "'real and basic."
