Chang Doubts Use
Of A-Bomb on Reds
Would Help Matters
by the Associated Press

Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek
expressed the view today that the
atom bomb should not be used on
Communist China.
The Nationalist Chinese leader
said he doubled very much" that
dropping the A-bomb on Com
munist forces would produce the
desired effects"
Generalissimo Chiang's views
were contained in an interview
copyrighted by United States News
and World Report, published
weekly in Washington.
He went on to say, however,
that:
Conventional bombing confined
to military objectives will be recog-
nized by Chinese opinion as a mill
tary necessity"
Chang asserted that the Chi
nese Communists probably would
use any bombing by Americans
for anti-American propaganda,
but added:
If such necessary air opera
tions are undertaken by the free
China air force any possible un-
favorable psychological effect may
be obviated."
Answering questions by radio
from his headquarters on Formosa,
he voiced the opinion that the
future of Asia depends basically
on the flrmness of American Far
Eastern policy rather than on
any temporary or local fortunes
of war"
Chang called for additional
military aid to his forces and for
the lifting of an American ban
against Nationalist military units
attacking the Communist t-held
Chinese mainland. He asked also
that Japan "be permitted to join
the union of Far Eastern countries
and be enabled to defend herself
and participate in the common
defense of freedom in Asia"
