FOLLOWING Is a partial tert OF
today's testimony By Secretary

Senate committee Investigating
Far Eastern policies:
Chairman Russell. Mr.. Sec.

as to the circumstances under
which the Chinese Communists
were invited to participate in dis

the United Nations, that resulted
in the trip. believe. Of Gen. WI
to this country as representative
of the Peoples Republic of China
I wish you would make. or give
us an outline of the circumstances
under which that trip was made.
Secretary Acheson-During Au-
gust of 1850. in the Security Coun-
Gil, while the Russian member Of
that Council, Mr.. Malik, was the
chairman of the Council, he made
frequent accusations against the
United States of America of ag-
gression in both Korea and in
Formosa.
On the oath of August, 1850, the
Foreign Minister. Chou En-lai of
the Chinese Communist govern
ment, addressed a telegram to the
president Of the Security Council,
who was then Mr.. Malik.
This telegram accused the
United States of aggression in Ko-
rea, The telegram is as fol-
lows:
"On June q this year President
Truman of the United States of
America announced the decision
of the United States Government
to prevent with armed forces the
liberation of Taiwan by the Chi
nese Peoples Republic Army
Meanwhile the United States 7th
Fleet moved toward the Straits
of Taiwan. followed by the arrival
in Taiwan of contingents of the
United States Air Force in ar
open encroachment of the terri
Itory of the Peoples Republic OF
China. This action on the part
of the United States is a direct
armed aggression against the
territory of China and a total
violation Of the United Nations
Charter.
"Taiwan is an integral part Of
China.
Cairo, Potsdam PactS Cited.
This is not only fact based
on history. confirmed by the stu
alton since the surrender of Japan,
but it is also stipulated in the
Cairo declaration of 1943 and the
Potsdam communique of 1945 as
binding international agreements
which the United States Govern
'ment has pledged itself to respect
and observe.
THE people of China cannot
tolerate this action of armed
aggression by the United States
Government on the territory OF
China, and are determined to
liberate from the tentacles of the
United States aggressors Taiwan
and all other territories belonging
to China. On behalf of the Cen
tral Peoples government of the
Peoples Republic of China, I now
raise to the United Nations Sc
curity Council the accusation and
propose that for the maintenance
of international peace and Sc
curity and for the upholding of
the dignity of the United Nations
Charter. the United Nations Sc
Curity Council is obliged by its
inalienable duties to condemn the
United States Government for it's
criminal act in the armed inva-
sion of the territory of China, and
/ to take immediate measures to
bring about tie complete with
drawal of all the United States
! armed invading forces from Tai
wan and from other territories
belonging to China"
After that telegram came in,
Ambassador Austin on behalf of
the United States made his state
ment on the 25th of August.
There was then a motion made in
the Security Council that the rep
resentative of the Chinese Com
munist government should be in
vited to be present when these
charges were discussed. The
United States voted against that
proposal. The proposal was adopt
ed. After discussion of the charges
and the Soviet implication to
condemn us as aggressors, this was
soundly beaten. 1t received only
one vote in the Security Council
that is, the Soviet vote.
Motion Beaten in Assembly.
The Soviets then brought the
same charge in the General AS
sembly. That was opposed by the
United States and led to an over
whelming defeat of the motion.
I believe that the Chinese Com
munist representative was pres.
ent in the Security Council anc
was present in Committee I oi
the General Assembly when these
charges were discussed.
