MacArthur promptly struck back at his critics through the press. In a statement solicited by the New York Times's Arthur Krock, MacArthur denied that he had received suggestions from "any authoritative source" to halt his troops south of the Manchurian border. In answer to questions from Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, the general accused European leaders of "shortsighted" preoccupation with the safety of Europe alone...
