the State Departments attitude"
Mr.. Martin said, mo course will
be left to the Republican Party
but to pursue the China question
alone and in a fashion which we
can only pray will awaken our
Government and our people to the
inherent dangers in the position
now taken by our Government.
Chinese Envoy Protests.
The Chinese Ambassador, DR..
Wellington Koo, also got out a
statement on the White Paper.
Calling it's publication an unusual
step, he said:
whatever may have been the
acts of commission and omission
. attributable to the National Gov
eminent in the past. it is car
dinal fact today that China is
strenuously fighting the Com
munist aggression which is aided
and abetted by an oligarchy of
international communism abroad
and by the Communists through
! out the world"
It was the first official reaction
from Nationalist Government rep
resentatives here to the diplo-
matte summary of United States
Chinese relations. Observers said
the White Paper probably was
unprecedented in the severity of
its criticism of the Chinese gov
eminent, a friendly nation.
THE big volume represents
mostly the American view of the
picture" DR.. Koo said in state
ment. There is. of course, a
Chinese side to it. The Chinese
government is studying its con-
tents and will express it's view"
Calls Free China Indispensable.
Commenting that errors of
judgment were not confined to
China alone, DR.. Koo said he was
glad that Mr.. Acheson does not
take a pessimistic view of the sit
uation in China.
II am glad that a new and con-
structive American policy is now
under study and formulation" he
continued.
THE situation calls for not only
self-help on China's part but also
aid and assistance from other
freedom loving nations. For a
free China is indispensable to a
free Asia and free Asia is vital
to the existence of a free world"
DR.. Koo said the United States
and China are fighting the same
battle against communism and he
hopes that his country may sue
coed in winning a better under
standing from the United States
and in securing fully its
moral and material support"
QuirinO Arriving Today.
Other developments bearing on
the general problem of trying to
recoup the anti-Communist posi-
ton and chart new lines of attack
on Communism in Asia include:
l. The visit of Philippines Pres
ident Elpidio Quirino, beginning
here today, seems likely to give
new force to Mr.. Quirino's plans
for promoting non military re-
gional organization of countries in
the Southeast Asian area. State
Department officials were reported
to be interested in Mr.. Quirino's
plans, although they would regard
with disfavor any effort to form
a Pacific military alliance includ-
ing Nationalist China.
2. American Ambassador John
Leighton Stuart and other diplo-
mats from the Communist area of
China are due here Wednesday.
They will give Mr.. Acheson and
other policy makers first-hand re-
ports and advice on what this
country may do to accomplish any
thing against the Communist re-
gime inside China.
8. Raymond Fosdick, former
president of the Rockefeller Foun-
dalton, is due here tonight to
begin his work with Ambassador
Philip Jessup, Mr.. Acheson's num-
Der one trouble shooter on the new
China policy. Those two will be
joined in a short time by Presi-
dent Everett Case of Colgate Uni
versity.
! A. The State Department ex-
poets soon to receive reports from
Shanghai and other Communist
area cities telling how many Amer

once.
Americans Withdrawing.
Indications have been that a
large number of the 3,000-odd citi-
zens Official and nom OFFICIALLY
have decided there is no possibility
of doing business under Commu-
mist rule and want to get out fast.
If this proves to be the case
the State Department will ar
range for a relief ship to be sent
to the China coast so that the
Americans can leave. Thus may
begin the last of the great exodus
of Americans from a land where
for more than a century they had
exercised wide influence and until
recently had found increasing op-
