Authoritative sources sale today
that the ASian-Areb bloc got a
go-ahead signal from Peiping be-
fore it submitted to the United
Nations the proposal for an i'm
mediate seven-power conference
on the China Korea problem.
These sources said this word
came from the Indian Ambassador
in Peiping who expressed the be-
lief in q message to India's Sir
Bengal N. Rau that such a pro-
posal would be welcomed by the
Chinese Communists.
The Asian-Arab plan, in fact,
conforms closely to the demands
that Peiping has made from the
beginning-that a conference on
Far Eastern problems be called
without waiting for a cease-flre
in Korea. This has been bitterly
opposed by the United States and
many other countries.
Message Received Yesterday.
The new Peiping message was
received by Rau yesterday after
noon, but Indian sources insisted
that it contained only the personal
impressions of the Indian Ambas-
sador and therefore would not be
made public.
The Indians did say, however,
that the message indicated the
Chinese Communists would be
willing to hold the proposed con-
ference outside China, perhaps in
New Delhi. They previously had
demanded that any such meeting
be held in China.
Rau was scheduled to address
the U. N. Political Committee this
afternoon in support of the pro-
posal put forward yesterday by the
12-nation group. Western diplo-
mats today regarded the latest
plan as doomed.
Cease-Fire Not Mentioned.
The resolution avoids specific
mention of a cease-fire.
The Indian delegate was also
ready to argue that the group
resolution-its fourth peace move
should take precedence over the
United States demand that the
U. N. brand Communist China an
aggressor in Korea and consider
what steps should be taken against
Peiping.
American Delegate Warren
Austin underscored the American
demand when the committee
came back yesterday after a 4s-
hour recess. He revived old
charges. that Russia. as we'll as
Red China, was responsible for
the Korean aggression. In much
of what he said, he discounted
the newest Asian-Arab move.
His statement also was consid-
cred a direct answer to Prime
Minister Nehru of India, who in
broadcast from New Delhi yes
terday criticized the American
resolution and said Communist
China should long ago have been
made member of the U. N, sup
planting Nationalist China.
"You can't shoot your way. into
the United Nations" Mr.. Austin
said in detailing Red China's S
fight against U. N. troops.
Mr.. Austin added that the ques-
ton of q. N. membership was one
for all go members of the U. N.
to consider, not just seven nations.
Stresses Collective Security.
He emphasized that in the face
OF Communist actions and de-
mands-which he called black
mail-the U. N. had to "give some
thought to the issue of collective
security"
"If any Ole of us is attacked"
he said, each of us would in that
situation desperately ask the
United Nations to provide the uni
fed support of every other gov
eminent in the world to meet the
attack. How can we bring that
about for our own countries? Only
by determination to take united
action to support each other faith
fully and vigorously when an act
Of aggression occurs"
The 12-nation proposal was cir
culated among the members late
yesterday. Some delegates said
they would have to ask their gov
ernments for new instructions.
Rau refused to explain the pro-
posals provisions to reporters.
Explanations will have to wait
until speak this afternoon" he
told them.
The resolutions only use of the
term cease-fire is a reference to
a mid-January statement of the
Peiping regime in which it turned
