GEN. DOUGLAS MacARTHUR Typed 4-page letter on General Headquarters letterhead, dated 17 April 1950 and addressed to Mrs. E. Daniel O'Connell of Sharon, Conn., MacArthur begins an explanation for his refusal to grant permission for Margaret Sanger to visit Occupied Japan, in order "to lecture on birth control," he received both praise and backlash for this 1949 decision from those involved in the family planning and abortion debate, however in this letter he explains how American influence over an occupied foreign land was his main concern: "I have yielded to pressure from neither the group in advocacy nor that in opposition to birth control, but have consistently and publicly taken the position that the subject matter is a social problem for solution by the Japanese people themselves without interference, directly or indirectly, by the Allied Powers." There is a similar letter in the Sanger Papers, and one dated a month earlier sold at a 2004 Christie's auction for $5378; interesting historical window into MacArthur's thoughts on an issue that is still relevant today; He signed in ink "Douglas Mac Arthur," also included is the original envelope with Army Post Office cancel, tying 1¢ and 5¢ Prexies, General HQ corner card and red "Air Mail" handstamp, VF (Image)
