"This is one fight we are not
going to lose" the California
Anglo American Split on Red Chino in
U. N. Grows. Poee A-3
Senator said in, an interview.
There are ample votes in both
houses of Congress to pass legis-
lation to halt the participation
OF this country in the United
Nations should the General As
sembly Of the U. N. vote next
fall to admit the Chinese Com
munist government"
Senator Knowland added that
sponsorship of the proposed
amendment or amendments to
the foreign aid bill, soon to come
before the Senate, would be obi
partisan"
Not Against Administration.
He made it clear, too, that he
was not seeking to override the
administration in this matter,
but rather to back the anti-Red
China position which Presiden1
Eisenhower and Secretary of
State Dulles have consistently
maintained.
He made no effort to predict
what would be the attitude of
the administration if, despite its
opposition, Red China should be
voted into the U. N. by the Gen.
eral Assembly. However, he
pointed out, the proposed action
by Congress would be effective in
that circumstance.
1.-THE other members of the
United Nations should UNDER
stand that we are not bluffing, "
the Senator continued. "We are
putting them on notice now, and
they will not be able at some
future time to claim they did not
know what we planned.
"They will have to decide
whether they prefer to have the
United States in the United Ma
tions-or Red China"
Several Approaches Possible.
Senator Knowland said that
several amendments designed ia
take the United States out Of the
United Nations in the event Red
China is admitted, may be Of
fered-that the proposal to deny
the use of United States funds
to the U. N. was only one of
those under consideration.
There are SO members of the
United Nations.
The Uniten States contributes
1873 per cent OF it's entire an
nual budget This is approx
mately SIS million for the regu-
lar expenses Of the U. N With
holding these funds would not
of itself take the United States
out of the United Nations, but
as a practica, matter it would
make participation difficult.
AS Senator Knowland pointed
out, it would not be expected
that Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge, jr., would continue to
function at the U. N. If he was
unable to pay this country's
share. Further, other legisla-
ton could be enacted to cut of
all salaries of the American dele
cation and their staff. The
California Senator said that
language demanding the with
drawal of The United States
completely from the U. N. might
be written into the foreign aid
bill.
Since he made his speech last
Thursday in the Senate attack
ing the proposal to admit Red
China to the United Nations and
calling for reappraisal by the
United States of its foreign poll
icy, Senator Knowland has re-
ceived more than 100 kilograms.
He said they we're overwhelming
in support of his position.
McCarran Has Plan.
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
Of Nevada has proposed Offering
an amendment to the foreign
aid bill which would provide for
United States withdrawal from
the U. N. should Red China be
admitted.
The House has already passed
the foreign aid bill, authorizing
the expenditure of approx
mately $3.368, 000.0 900 for foreign
aid in the coming fiscal year.
Senator Knowland said the pro-
posed amendments may be at
tached to that bill in the Senate
and also to the foreign aid APP
preparation bill, which must be
enacted to make the funds avail
able.
The Know1and statement
makes certain a strenuous de-
bate on the foreign aid bill when
it reaches the Senate.
