Radio and Television Report to the American People Regarding the Situation in the Formosa Straits
1958-9-11
President Eisenhower delivers an address detailing recent developments in the Formosa Straits, where China had attacked the island of Matsu and was continuing to bombard the island of Quemoy. He places the current Chinese action within a pattern of wider aggression and alludes to the folly of Munich to promote the firm stance he says the United States must take. He also states that the Chinese Communists are working together with the Soviet Union and that diplomatic means of resolving the issues at hand will still be employed.
