...John Osborne's report, "The U.S. Tragedy in Formosa" [TIME, July 17], I get the impression that it is again time for the U.S. to make an all-out effort to support the Chinese Nationalists. Yet, if I am not mistaken, very poor use was made of the American aid that was sent to Chiang Kai-shek when the Nationalists were still in a strong position on the Chinese mainland...
