Chinese Reds Indorse
Peace Proposal in.
Violent Blast al U.s..
sy the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
TOKYO. June 26.-The Chinese
Communists today indorsed the
Soviet proposal for cease-fire
in Kerea and threatened the
United States with total defeat If
she did not accept.
They also implied. without di-
rectly stating, that they still
wanted terms favorable to Red
China.
The Red position was given in
q violent editorial diatribe against
the United States. published by
the Peiping Peoples Daily and
broadcast by the Peiping radio.
Both the radio and the. paper
are Communist organs. but by this
method the Peiping regime itself
was not positively committed.
The Red view of its Importance
was made clearly evident. how
ever, by the fact that the lengthy
text of the editorial was broad
cast fully in English, Chinese and
other languages.
Familiar Charges Repeated.
Giving the Red version of the
first year of the Korean conflict,
the editorial bitterly reiterated
the familiar Red charges that the
United States started the war, re-.
jected frequent peace overtureS,
threatened to invade Manchuria,
and withheld Formosa from the
''just" possession of the Chinese
Reds.
AS far back as last August 20,
it said, Peiping's Premier Chou
En-lai repeatedly had made sug-
gestions for peace in Korea, but
the 'unscrupulous United States
Government repeatedly refused to
accept them" and instead "'con-
tinued to extend the aggressive
war in Korea"
The broadcast neglected to men
tion that these peace proposals
called for what amounted to total
capitulation Of the United Ma
tions, including Red title to For
mosa, a Red seat In the U. N. and
unqualified withdrawal Of the
Allies from Korea.
These unacceptable terms were
significantly omitted from the
cease-fire suggestion made on the
American radio June % by Jacob
Malik, Soviet delegate to the
q. M.
The Peiping account, however,
did not mention Mr.. Malik's omis-

Inconsistently, the editorial d
