Of Treaty Cited;
Tribal Law Hit
By Gornett D. Horner

Chinese Communists have in
vaded and seized the American
consular Offices in Peiping, the
State Department disclosed today.
Denouncing the action as "a
fragrant violation" of treaty rights,
the department said this Govern
ment takes an extremely serious
view" of the situation and is Or
dering all American official per-
sonnel out of Communist China.
The So Americans attached to
the Peiping consulate were not
arrested when the property was
seized and presumably were safe
in three other of four consular
compounds which the United
States has maintained in Peiping.
Assistant Secretary of State w.
Walton Butterworth said consular
personnel destroyed some secret
codes and other papers before the
seizure and managed to remove
some others safely.
He described the Chinese Com
munist action as more like the
application of tribal law" than
international law, asserting that
1t was completely unprece-
dented."
U. S. Protests Ignored.
The invasion and seizure of the
consular Offices occurred at $50

after the top Chinese Communist
authorities had ignored American
protests. backed up by British rep
resentations, against an order
requisitioning the property.
The department said police and
four civilian officials of the Com
munist regime invaded the con-
sular premises. Few details we're
Immediately available on what
happened then.
The property seized by the Com
munists was requisitioned on the
grounds that it was former mill
tary barracks which had been oc-
cupied by American troops years
ago.
The State Department said the
former barracks has long since
been converted" into consular Of
fees. The Office building is To-
Gated in a compound which also
includes residences occupied by
American staff members.
Mr.. Butterworth said the Amer
lean officials remained so far in
possession of an adjoining COM
pound and two others where staff
members lived.
On instructions from the de-
partment, Consul General o. Ed
mund Club during the last week
had sent numerous communica-
tions to top Chinese Communist
authorities insisting that the
property affected by the seizure
order was American under long
standing treaty rights and warm
ing that all American officials
would be withdrawn from Com
munist China if it was taken over.

The department said the Com

He pointed out that Washing

publican demands that the United
States supply arms and equipment

lists under Chang Kai-shek to

hold of Formosa.
Senator Bridges said the United

mission to Formosa "just as we
did in Greece"
Appetite Whetted by Retreat.
"The seizure" Senator Bridges
declared, "is just one more bit of
evidence on the utter disregard
OF the Communists for American
rights.
Each time we appease and re-
treat it increases their appetite
and utter disregard for interna-
tional rights and ethics"
Senator Knowland. Republican,
of California, one of the leading
critics of the administration S
handling of the Chinese situation,
said the State Department an
nouncement "underscores the re-
suit of our bankrupt China palicy."
1T is now time. he added, that
the men responsible for that policy
submit their resignation to the
President so that the Nation may
have new and non-defeatist Off
cials in whom the Congress and
the Nation could have confidence I"
Knowland Attacks Appeasement.
Such confidence. Senator Know
land declared, will not come
from the present leadership re-
sponsible for our Far Eastern
policies"
THE sequence of dates is most
interesting" he commented. Our
policy of appeasement of the
Communist was announced by the
President on January 5 when we
wrote off further military aid for
the Nationalist government of
China. This was almost inme-
diately followed by the new, un-
friendly act of the Communists.
This is always the result of pay
ment of international blackmail.
Appeasement is but the payment
on the installment plan"
Senator Hickenlooper, Republi-
can, of Iowa saw the seizure as
warning against the United
States rushing into recognition
OF the Communist regime in
China.
Il think" he added, 'it's the
natural result of a vacillating pol
icy over the last several years. We
are continuing the same policy
in Formosa.
Ferguson Offers Comment.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
OF Michigan said it should "stimu-
late some assistance for Formosa. :"
But Senator Ferguson doubted
that the seizure would change the
administrations policy of denying
further assistance to the Chinese
Nationalists.
I'm pretty well convinced" he
remarked, that the administra-
ton. by a press release on Janu-
airy 5, washed It's hands of the

Worms About DOGS

keep their dogs at home, because
all dogs found roaming the streets
will be disposed of by the dog
warden and their owners fined.
Dogs are taking the town" he
said.
please don't be under the
wrong impression. Just becaue
the dog is wearing a tag does not
mean that he will be permitted to
roam at large.
There are a couple of female
dogs in the village. Their owners
will avoid prosecution by pur-
chasing tags for them from the
county auditor, and then keeping
them at home"
"No concessions will be made
for anyone" he continued. "If you
own a dog, keep it home, and if
the dog has no license, buy one
from the auditor today.
