that when the first reports are
received on June 26 he hoped 1--WE
will see that it has already been
put into effect"
Senator StenniS noted that it
had taken six months to get the
resolution on economic sanctions
through the United Nations, and
added:
And We are going to have to
wait now several months before
lit is felt, if it is into full effect,
and then that may not be suff1-
cient. It seems to me there should
be some activity on behalf of the
United States with reference to o. =.
"a naval blockade"
Acheson Clarifies Objection.
Mr.. Acheson countered by say
ing there is mo difference in the
time when stoppage of imports
is felt. whether that stoppage is
brought about" by economic sane
tions or military action. In either
case, he added, it would take some
time for the stoppage to affect the
economic structure of China.
Mr.. Acheson discussed the mat
ter of admitting Red China to
the United Nations while being
questioned by Senator Stennis.
The Senator said that "a lot of
u.s. were worried about the legal
grounds on which I'VE can base
an exclusion of Red China and
maintain it morally and legally
before the peoples of the world"
Mr.. Acheson emphasized the
of this country'S per
suasive leadership" in blocking
the seating of Red China. Pre-
viously he had testified there had
been II votes in connection with
the matter and that the United
States position had been sustained
rs times.
THE important attitude which
can be taken here is one of leader
ship, and in taking that attitude, "
Mr.. Acheson said, sit is necessary
to convince other nations and have
other nations feel that they wish
to act with the United States in
taking the view that the Com
munists cannot shoot their way
into the U. N"
Cause Has Been Successful.
Mr.. Acheson pointed out that
such a course has been successful
and, he added, "it will be success
full in my judgment"
The Secretary said the veto can
be exercised only in the Security
Council, one of the As organs of
the U. N. He said it would be
necessary to exercise a veto In
the council only when this country
would be in the minority.
I'VE don't expect to be In the
minority" he added. I'VE expect
to be in the majority, and I think
we can stay there as long as we
give this good strong leadership
to it"
Differences developed between
Mr.. Acheson and Senator Gillette.
Democrat, of Iowa, over the extent
of United States authority to ex-I
pand or end the Korean war with
out concurrence of the United Ma
tions.
Mr.. Acheson said that the uni
fed command under the United
States has authority to "move here
or there" as it becomes necessary
in the military conduct of the war
Unilateral Steps DiSclaimed.
Senator Gillette then asked why
the "hot pursuit and naval block
ade proposals had to be taken up
with other governments.
Mr.. Acheson replied:
1T is very important that I'M
carrying out this campaign we
have the enthusiastic support of
all those who are taking part in
it, and therefore we have en-
deavored to keep in closest con-
sultation with them, and have a
very continuous exchange of ideas
and advice back and forth. . i
"The United States is endeavor-
ing to follow the course which has
tremendous international support
and is not contemplating taking
unilateral steps of it's own"
The Secretary agreed that the
United States would have the
right to conclude an armistice inI
Korea on its own, but said he be-
lieved it should consult "in the
closest possible way with it's COL
leagues" before taking such action.
Senator Gillette said, "I deploreI
