Rickett is obsessed with the evils that he attributes to Chiang Kaishek. "When I criticize the U.S., what I am really criticizing is its position on Formosa." He believes that the U.S. should abandon Formosa and drop its embargo on strategic trade with Red China. He remarked with quiet satisfaction that from what he had heard about the Geneva negotiations (which resulted in his release), "things are going the way I think they should." He claimed that he had been a U.S. spy, but, when questioned, he admitted that he had merely reported his observations of China to an American...

Press wires around the world clacked out the rumor that Radford and Robertson, two old friends of Chiang Kaishek, had been assigned to give him the bad news that the U.S. would not help him defend the Matsus and Quemoy, and to urge that he get his troops off those islands.
