1954吳國楨爆料下所批判的蔣介石

Taiwan in Time: War of words across the Pacific

前台灣總督K.C. 1953年，吳國楨逃往美國後，成為蔣介石最大的批評家

By Han Cheung  /  Staff reporter

1954年3月17日，吳國楨被剝奪了他的中國國民黨（KMT）成員資格，放棄了他的所有職責。不是他在執行他們的任何一個 - 在那之後，他辭去了他的台灣總督的職位，並與他的家人逃離了與其他黨員長期衝突美國，包括蔣經國，那時的兒子 - 蔣介石。

這一舉動來自吳在1953年3月的一次公路旅行中註意到他的車的前輪被篡改，他認為這是一次暗殺企圖。兩個月後，他成功地離開了國家的護理病假和接受榮譽博士學位從他的母校普林斯頓大學。

“我不回來了，”他告訴司法部長王春惠，他在機場來看他。

公開真相

吳先生一開始就保持沉默，他被邀請在紐約市舉行的雙十國慶節上發表演講，但只談到支持民族主義者反對共產主義的鬥爭。但在11月，報告浮出水面，指責他使用政府資金在美國過著奢侈的生活。他花了三個月時間試圖清除他的名字，這使他更多的媒體關注。

他開始透露更多 - 當芝加哥的WGN電視台問為什麼他來到美國，他回答說，這是出於健康和政治的原因。在此之前，他堅持認為這完全是因為他的病。

“在那些時代的政治氣候下，這本質上是對台灣政府的公開挑戰，”他的傳記由“自由時報”發表。第二天，CBS派一名記者來到他家，“沒有回來。

1954年2月16日，他完全打開了與政府的衝突，其中一點是他們不想贏得台灣人和海外華人的支持。

“我們還需要贏得自由國家，特別是美國的支持。但是，如果我們不在我們的領土上實行真正的民主，這不會發生，“他說。

根據他的傳記，他然後多次用英語告訴記者，“現在的政府太專制。”這些話使美國主要報紙。

這開始了吳和國民黨之間跨越太平洋的戰爭，導致他被驅逐出黨。

SIMMERING FEUD

吳自1926年以來一直為國民黨工作，曾經是蔣家族的親密夥伴。他在1949年與國民黨退回台灣，1950年他在陳誠（陳誠）辭職後擔任總督。

在這段時間裡，他與其他主要的國民黨成員在許多問題上發生衝突，包括台灣的更大的自治和更多的民主。這本書誰害怕吳國楨 （殷惠敏）說，他甚至直接把這個想法提到蔣介石允許多個政黨。

“我們有最好的人在我們身邊，我們能在哪裡找到有能力的人組成反對黨？”蔣報告說回答。

吳在中國仍然與蔣經國發生衝突，在台灣干預了蔣介石特工的大規模逮捕時，這種仇恨繼續存在。另外還發生了多起政治逮捕事件，吳先生拒絕向反共青年組織“救國團”提供資金，導致了蔣的憤怒，他在傳記中與共產主義和納粹青年團體相比。

無法實現他的政治理想，不滿意蔣介石的方向，吳試圖多次辭職，但無濟於事。蔣介石打算把權力交給他的兒子，希望吳會支持他。吳拒絕，終於蔣介石別無選擇，只能接受他的辭職。

他被驅逐出黨後，只是扼殺了他的修辭，寫了幾封信給蔣介石批評政府的一黨統治，通過特務，政治恐嚇和缺乏新聞自由等問題。

他還指控蔣的裙帶關係，說他“比他的國家愛權力，愛他的兒子比他的人民。

可能最值得注意的是他為“看”雜誌寫的文章，題為“你的錢在福摩薩建立了一個警察狀態”，指出台灣已經變成了一個“共產主義型的國家”。

但是，吳的努力沒有阻止美國繼續支持和提供國民黨政權的資金。正如喬治•克爾在福爾摩斯背叛中寫道，這是麥卡錫時代的高度，美國更關心與共產主義鬥爭，“吳的聲音被淹死在更多的援助蔣的喧囂。

Taiwan in Time: War of words across the Pacific

Former Taiwan governor K.C. Wu became Chiang Kai-shek’s biggest critic after fleeing to the US in 1953

By Han Cheung  /  Staff reporter

On March 17, 1954, K.C. Wu (吳國楨) was stripped of his Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) membership and relieved of all his duties. Not that he was performing any of them — by then, he had resigned his post as governor of Taiwan and fled with his family to the US after a prolonged conflict with other party members, including Chiang Ching-kuo (蔣經國), son of then-president Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石).

The move came after Wu noticed on a road trip in March 1953 that the front wheels of his car had been tampered with, which he saw as an assassination attempt. Two months later, he successfully left the country under the pretense of nursing a sickness and accepting an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, Princeton University.

“I’m not coming back,” he reportedly told Judicial Yuan president Wang Chung-hui (王寵惠), who came to see him off at the airport.

GOING PUBLIC

Wu kept quiet at first — he was invited to speak at a Double Ten National Day gala in New York City, but only talked about supporting the Nationalists’ fight against Communism. But in November, reports surfaced accusing him of using government money to live a luxurious life in the US. He spent the next three months trying to clear his name, which garnered him more media attention.

He started to reveal more — when asked by Chicago’s WGN-TV why he came to the US, he replied that it was for both health and political reasons. Before that, however, he had maintained that it was entirely due to his sickness.

“In the political climate of those times, this was essentially a public challenge to Taiwan’s government,” his biography published by the Liberty Times states. CBS sent a reporter to his house the next day, and “there was no going back.”

On Feb. 16, 1954, he completely opened up about his conflict with the government, one of the points being that they did not care to win the support of the Taiwanese as well as overseas Chinese.

“We also need to win the support of free countries, especially the US. But if we don’t practice true democracy in our territories, this will not happen,” he said.

According to his biography, he then repeatedly told reporters in English, “The present government is too authoritarian.” These words made the major US newspapers.

This started a war of words between Wu and the KMT across the Pacific Ocean, leading up to his expulsion from the party.

SIMMERING FEUD

Wu had worked for the KMT since 1926 and was once a close associate of the Chiang family. He retreated to Taiwan with the KMT in 1949, and in 1950 he became governor after Chen Cheng’s (陳誠) resignation.

During this time, he clashed with other major KMT members over many issues, including greater self-governance for Taiwanese and increased democracy. The book Who’s Afraid of Wu Kuo-chen? (誰怕吳國楨?) by Yin Hui-min (殷惠敏) states that he even directly brought up the idea to Chiang Kai-shek of allowing multiple political parties.

“We have the best people on our side, where would we find able people to form an opposition party?” Chiang reportedly replied.

Wu had clashed with Chiang Ching-kuo while still in China, and this feud continued in Taiwan when he intervened in a mass arrest by Chiang’s special agents. Several more incidents took place over political arrests, and Wu further incurred Chiang’s wrath by refusing to provide funds to the anti-communist youth organization China Youth Corps (救國團), which he compared to communist and Nazi youth leagues in his biography.

Unable to carry out his political ideals and unhappy with the direction the Chiangs were going toward, Wu tried to resign several times, but to no avail. Chiang Kai-shek was intent on passing on power to his son, and was hoping that Wu would support him. Wu refused, and finally Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to accept his resignation.

After his expulsion from the party, Wu only amped up his rhetoric, writing several letters to Chiang criticizing the government’s one-party rule, political intimidation through special agents and lack of press freedom among other issues.

He also accused Chiang of nepotism, saying that he “loves power more than his country, and loves his son more than his people.”

Probably most notable is the article he penned for Look magazine, titled Your Money has Built a Police State in Formosa, stating that Taiwan has turned into a “communist-type state.”

However, Wu’s efforts did not deter the US from continuing to support and provide funds to the KMT regime. As George H. Kerr writes in Formosa Betrayed, it was the height of the McCarthy Era and the US was more concerned about fighting communism, and “Wu’s voice was drowned in the clamor of more aid for Chiang.”
