This order shall not be applicable to (a) postmasters; (b) rural carriers...
The action of the United States was an impartial neutralizing action addressed both to the forces on Formosa and to those on the mainland.
If the Security Council wishes to study the question of Formosa we shall support and assist that study.
We have no designs on Formosa, and our action was not inspired by any desire to acquire a special position for the United States.
