Requirements for U.N. Admission Not
Fulfilled by Red China; To Admit 1t
Would be Perjury, Expert Declares

Britain adopted this point of view,
however, in recognizing the COM
munist government of China. But
such conditions are not sufficient
for recognition by the United Ma
tions, which proclaimed in its
Charter number of new princi-
Piles TO which members were to adj
here. Thus, it actually established
new laws of international relations
which are binding on its members.
If, by admitting Red China, the
U.N. were TO acknowledge the re-
establishment of the old cynical
practices, any successful military
coup d'etat, any seizure of power
by a ruthless dictator, any foreign
sponsored subversion resulting in
the establishment of a regime bas-
ed on lawlessness and police ter
ror would justify the claim of the
usurper for UN. recognition.
A new moral concept of non
recognition of a government estab-
lished by violence was, in fact,
adopted by the democratic nations
Including Great Britain) during
World War III. These countries re-
fused to recognize the puppet gov
ernments set up in various nations
occupied by Hitler's forces, such
as Belgium, the Netherlands, Yugo-
Slavia or Norway Yet these gov
ernments answered the. traditional
requirements of total occupation
and enforcement of public order.
Instead, the Allies continued to
recognize the legal governments of
those countries, the governments
in-exile," which had no territory,
no power and no authority, but
which nevertheless actually repre-
sented their peoples.
The original signers of the U.N.
Charter comprised the United
States, Great Britain, France, the
China of Chang Kai-shek and the
Soviet Union. They all proclaimed
their intention of establishing
new order of international rela-
tiOns, an order in which principles
and lawfulness, not convenience,
were to rule.
These principles were clearly
enunciated in the Preamble of the
+ Charter:
eve, the peoples of the United
Nations, determined to re-
affirm faith in fundamental human
rights, in the dignity and worth of
the human person, in the equal
rights of men and women and of
nations large and small, and to
establish conditions under which
+ justice and respect for the obliga-
tlons arising from treaties and
other sources OF international law
can be maintained, and to promote
social progress and better stand
ards of life in larger freedom, and
for these ends TO practice toler-
ance . have resolved TO combine
our efforts to accomplish these
aims"
Various provisions of the Char
ter itself enforce the principles of
the Preamble.
According to Article l, the aim
of the UN. is ito achieve inter
national cooperation in pro-
noting and encouraging respect
for human rights and for the fun
damental freedoms for all, without
distinction as to race, sex, Ian
4 guage or religions"
The communist government in
Peking cannot, in good faith, adj
here to this pledge And if it we're
admitted to the U.N., it could not
abide by il. 1t does not and cannot
promote or encourage respect for
human rights of freedom, since it
is dedicated to disregard them in
the interests Of a theoretical and
abstract entity: the state, ruled
in totalitarian fashion
