have that understanding than the
people of other continents with
entirely different backgrounds.
The common features of Asia to-
day are q reaction from the
previous colonial regime. resurg-
ent nationalism, agrarian move
ments, a desire to get rid OF our
economic backwardness and a
passionate urge for freedom. In
varying degrees. these urges are
found in different parts OF Asia.
Oppose Totalitarianism.
Generally speaking, countries
Of Asia are developing. or wish to
develop, democratic institutions.
Most of them are opposed to
totalitarianism as represented
either by Communism or Fascism.
The idea of social justice as en-
bodied in Communism attracts
many people, but at the same time
the ideaology and the methods of
Communist parties have been
greatly disliked and have come
into conflict with democratic
nationalism.
World communism in it's ex-
panSionist aspect. just as any
other eXpansionist movement, is
considered danger to peace and
freedom. 1t appears, however,
sometimes in the guise of lib
Grating movement.
This problem has at times its
military aspects, but funda-
mentally we feel that it is a prob
lem Of winning the understanding
and good will of the masses of
the world. Unless people have
some hope in the future held out
to them, they seek other reme-
dies. To think of the military is
sue only, is to misunderstood the
problem.
1--WE do not think it is ineVita-
+ bic for world conflict to take place
= between the democratic world and
the Communist world. Every ef-
fort should be made to avoid it
because the result of such a major
conflict will be disastrous-for the
entire world.
Aggression Can't Be Tolerated.
Given a period of peace the
inner weaknesses of any system
will show themselves and there
will be a tendency for each coun-
try to evolve on lines best suited to
its existing conditions and genius.
Therefore, it is of paramount i'm
portance to avoid world war. In
avoiding it, any aggression cannot
be tolerated because that in itself
leads ultimately to the war we
wish to avoid. Aggression has to
be met by military or other means
but military means should only be
. used when other means are not
available. Otherwise, a war men
tality comes into play and takes
command of the situation and
other methods are ruled out. Our
country's history during the past
80 years shows that we do not fol-
low policy of appeasement and
that we stand up against what we
consider evil, whatever the conse-
quences.
But we have always left the
door open for conciliation and a
peaceful approach. We try to
adopt this policy in the interna-
tional sphere.
I'VE have attached great i'm
portance to the United Nations
because it held out hope of in
ternational cooperation. This
organization was started by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and others as a
special forum where all nations,
even those holding different and
contrary views should meet to-
gether and try to find some COM
mon way of action. Any attempt
to change the basic provisions of
the charter or to exclude any par
ticular nation has far-reaching
results and we are opposed to it.
nGu SulIld III u I've CISCus
"Since the beginning of this
year. we have felt that it was
essential from the point of view
Of Asia and the world for new
(Communist) China to be ad-
mitted to the United Nations.
This had nothing to do with our
approval of any policies.
"It was a recognition of stark
reality. To ignore it is to base
ones policy on something that
does not exist and the conse-
quences, therefore, are necessarily
bad. We think that if new China
had been admitted into the United
Nations at the proper time, the
crisis in the Far East might not
have arisen and events might
have taken a different turn.
when aggression took place in
Korea. in accordance with our
policy we supported the resolution
Of the Security Council. But
when it appeared the scope of
the operations might extend
beyond Korea Ito Formosa) we
felt this was wrong and we could
not associate ourselves with it..
We urged even then in July that
new China should be admitted to
the United Nations and the u. S.
S. r. should return to the Security
Council. This seemed to us of
basic Importance both in terms of
reality and in order to have q
peaceful solution.
Fresh Korea Election Favored.
'It was patent to us that the
u. S. S. r. and even more partic-
ularly China, were deeply con-
cerned with the future of neigh
boring territory like Korea and
that no satisfactory solution in
the Far East could be arrived at
by ignoring these two powers. AT
no time has India suggested that
she would resign from her support
of the U. N. resolution about
North Korea's aggression. Had
