As an earnest of this conviction we have been forced within the last year to witness open aggression against India, a country which maintained friendly relations with Communist China and which was currently engaged in discussion with it.

Both of these activities draw inspiration and support from Peking. To all of this Communist China has now added its open rejection of the nuclear test ban Treaty and its reaffirmation of its intention to establish a nuclear capacity of its own.
