The French. although bled

Russia is the country most
likely to sink the conference

cannot be solved now. Moscow,
for instance, could attack the

Red China, could insist that
Red China be granted authori-

The West won't consider
these issues until they see how
the Korean truce is working.
Great Britain. which long has
recognized the Government of
Red China as the real rulers
of China, wants to seat the
Communist regime in the U.N.

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 15.-The

today the government has asked

The newspaper said three

at home are still being held.
Arms used in the revolt report
edly came from Mexico. Cuba
has made no official protests,
and Cuban Ambassador Francisco

are planned.
However, Ultimas Noticias said
there were these developments:
Two Cuban body guards of
Prio have been politely requested
to leave Mexico and efforts were
made to keep the request secret.
The Cuban Ambassador has
said that most arms used in the
revolt actually came from Mexico,
from the port Of Tampico, and
many were Of Mexican manu-

KnowIand 10 Fight
To GET U. ). Out Of

BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ii. -
Senator Knowland, Republican,
of California, said today that the
day Communist China is admit
ted to the United Nations he will
lead a fight to get the United
States out of the U. N.
Senator Knowland, newly-cho-
sen Senate majority leader, got
a standing ovation from more
than 200 party leaders at a
meeting of the California State
Republican Central Committee
when he declared:
II want to serve notice here
and now that if other nations
vote Red China into the United
Nations will move for immedi-
ate adoption of a resolution
which in effect says that on
the day Red China gets into
the U. N. the United States of
America gets out"
Wants Stand Known in Advance.
When the applause subsidized,
the senior California Senator
added: "I think it is important
to. say these things in advance
so that everybody will know
exactly where we stand"
Senator Knowland, who Sue
ceeded the late Robert Taft as
Senate COP leader, said it
would be a violation of every
moral principle the United Ma
tions and the United States of
America have to permit Commu-
mist China to shoot its way into
the u. N.
"I defy any member of the
U.N. to read the U. N. charter
and then say with a straight
face that there is any provision
for admitting Red China"
See Strong Support.
Senator Knowland departed
from his text and said he was
serving notice now" that he
would move to bring his pending
resolution out of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
should the U. N. start to vote"
on admitting Red China. He
said it would have strong sup
port.

Senator Knowland said, "the
Eisen hover Administration
brought the stalemated war in
Korea to a close. No man is wise
enough to know for how long
the Communist will respect the
terms of the armistice.'
The Senator said he will leave
In about 10 days on an extensive
tour of the Far East, including
Korea, Japan, Formosa. Indo-
china and the Philippines.
Senator Watkins, Republican,
of Utah said in Washington he
agreed with Senator Knowland
on the idea that if Communist
China is admitted to the U. NJ,
the United States should with
draw from it.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Aug. 15.-The United Nations
General Assembly session
opening tomorrow begins q
severe test Of Communist in
tentions in the Far East.
The special U. N. meeting
was called to wrap up some OF
the loose ends of the Korean
war. How Russia and other
Communist countries Coop
crate in this chore could set
the trend for East-WeSt rela-
tionS in the Orient.
When this trend will become
apparent. nobody can say.
Neither can any one predict
safely whether any turn will
be for the better or worse.
Western diplomats, however,
are driving for a short, in
cisive U. N. session to set the
stage for long-range stability
in the Far East. If they
wanted to, the Communists
could show their hand within
a week.
The U. N. sessions primary
task will be arranging for a
political conference proposed
in the Korean truce. The U.
N. must select at least some of
the countries that will sit at
the conference, and probably
give some guidance about what
the conference should discuss.
The Celebrated Etc
The truce agreement said
the conference.-the get under
way by October 27-should
settle through negotiations the
questions of the withdrawal of
all foreign forces from Korea,
the peaceful settlement of the
Korean question, ETC."
That "etc." could turn out
to be the most famous "etc."
in modern history. Commu-

jom insisted on putting the
"etc." into the truce docu-
ment. Nobody in the West
knows what it means.
Russia or its Soviet satellites
could use it to drag into the
political conference all kinds
Of issues that could delay and
finally thwart the purposes of
the political conference. Russia
could start the chaos by in
sisting that the U. N. General
Assembly instruct the political
conference to settle any and
all Far Eastern disputes.
The West will be greatly en-
couraged if the Soviet Union
and its Communist children
mostly juvenile delinquents-
will remain comparatively quiet
while the U. N. arranges the
political conference.
Membership Problem
One task will be selecting
the conferences members. The
truce agreement specified that
"a political conference of a
higher level Of both sides be
held by representatives ap-
pointed respectively :"
To the United States, this
has meant that the U. N. should
appoint a group of countries
to sit across a table and nego-
tiate with a group of Com
munist representatives, pre-
sumably North Korea and
spokesmen for Red China or
its volunteers" who fought in
Korea.
But by last night the United
States had come around to a
compromise to let the U. N.
invite Russia to sit in on her
own and not as a u. N. rep
resentative. This partially met
the demands of Great Brit
ain and France.
They want to make the
peace conference an around
the-table" discussion with
every one viewing the Korean
Pre- oblem as humanitarians
rather than as representatives
of either of the sides that
fought the three-year war.
Diplomats from these West
tern countries say such an
"around-the-table" conference
is more likely to succeed than
the Americans scheme for an
"acrosS-the-table affair.
This philosophical difference
leads to Western disagreement
over who should attend the
meeting. The United States
wants U. N. to be represented
only by countries that fought
for South Korea. Under this
plan, U. N. would choose its
delegates from among these
Is countries: Australia, Bel
gium, Colombia, Canada,
Ethiopia, France, Greece, Lux
embourg. the Philippines, the
Netherlands. New Zealand,
Thailand. Turkey. Union of
South Africa. United Kingdom
and United States. The Reds
would pick their own delegates.
Great Britain has it's list of
candidates. This list-going
beyond the actual combatants
includes: The United States,
Great Britain. France, Soviet
Union. Turkey. Australia.
North and South Korea-and
India. which sent only a hos
pital unit to South Korea.
Should India Attend?
India is a touchy issue.
Great Britain is insisting that
Nehru's representative must
sit at the political conference.
That makes the United States
unhappy: France dismayed.
Said a Briton: India must
join the conference as the
representative of Asia's mil
lions of peoples. Besides, India
isn't a 'neutral'-she has sided
with the democracies."
Said an American: india is
too neutral; she didn't fight"
Said a Frenchman: eff you
want to confuse a conference.
