Economic pressure and diplo-
matte isolation will be the key
notes of American policy toward
Communist China indefinitely, q
State Department publication
made clear today.
An article in the State De-
partment Bulletin said the cur-
rent ban on United States trade
with the Chinese Reds must be
maintained"
1t shut the door to diplomatic
recognition of the Peiping regime
as IAN unthinkable betrayal Of
the Chinese Nationalist govern
ment on Formosa and q killing
blow to the will to resist fur
ther Communist expansion in
Asia.
The article, by Walter p. Nc
Conaughy. director of the de-
partment's Office Of Chinese
Affairs, presented a comprehen-
sive review Of this administra-
tion's China policy in positive
terms apparently designed to
bolster the prestige of the
Chinese Nationalist government.
Continued Backing for Chang.
Declaring that ''it is our pur-
pose to continue to back" the
Chang Kai-shek government on
Formosa. Mr.. McConaughy wrote
that "it is the only Chinese gov
ernment which represents in
any measure the authentic
aspirations and the bona fide
national interests of the Chinese
people"
He added that its record on
Formosa makes it look better
and better to the Chinese people
on the mainland by contrast
with the ruthless exploitation
which they are suffering at the
hands Of the regime Of Mao Tse-
tung."
Mr.. McConaughy described
American refusal to consider
recognizing the Chinese Reds as
refusal to accept the Com
munist triumph as def1nitive."
He added: Many an Asian
has told me that American non-
recognition of the Communist
regime in Peiping has had much
to do with checking the impetus
of the Communist advance in
Asia.
Even Chinese who are not
particularly in sympathy with
the Chinese Nationalist govern
ment tell us that recognition of
the Communist dictators in Peip-
ing would be the greatest single
non-military triumph for the

primarily an American affair"
"It is not-as the neutral love

1.-THE Communist danger" he
said, concerns most immediate
ly those countries on the borders
Of the Communist empire that
are most exposed to its capacity.
The United States has drawn
upon itself the ire of the Com
munists because those countries
have looked to us for support
and have not looked in vain"
The Assistant Secretary also
called on the United States to
take the lead in lowering trade
barriers to strengthen the free
world. for perhaps no decision
we make in 1854 will be more
crucial than those we make with
respect to our treatment of i'm
ports"

as was at stake on the battle
fields of Korea, the defense and
strengthening of the free world, :"
he added.
