GO. P. Opposes Big Four Talk
Party Leaders Fear Conference Now Would Worsen
Present Situotion or Leod to New u S. CoPtulotion

tionalist government be main
tanned in Formosa until such
time as the United Nations
can dispose of the situation by
making that island a trustee
ship. In view of the strong
feeling among the British peo-
pie, regardless Of political af-
filiation, that trade and normal
relations with the Peiping re-
gime are to their best interest,
it is doubtful that Sir Win
ston Churchill will defend
even this thesis for long. He
is not likely to jeopardize the
chances of having his party re-
turned to Office at the next
election for the sake of keep
ing FormoSa and the offshore
islands in friendly hands"
So long as there is no show
down. as would be inevitable at
a Big Four parley, Sir VIM
ston can continue his present
policy of being understand
ing" of our motives in the Far
East and encouraging them
underhand. But he has to
reckon with the public In
Britain, which holds the future
of the Conservative Party in
its hands. He believes that,
while the British are opposed
to any adventures in the
Far East. they will change their
mood if we get into a shoot
ing match with the Chinese
Communists. particularly after
the Reds get a licking.
The French people, since
the loss of northern Wet Nam,
have lost all interest in the Far
East. Their shaky govern
ment-whether it is that of
Mr.. Faure or one of several
Successors-must reflect that
popular feeling and side with
the Kremlin at a diplomatic
showdown.
The administration in Wash
ington is anxious to justify
its contention that the Repub-
licans are the party of peace.
1t may be very helpful to show
the American electorate next
year that under the wise guild
ance of Mr.. Eisenhower it
has finally re-eStablished the
world balance unsettled in
1889 by Hitler. But it is hard
to conceive that the admins
tration will accept what may

Republican Senate a n d
House leaders are opposed to
a premature Big Four confer
ence because they fear that
any such meeting, under the
existing international condi-
tions, may lead either to a
worsening of the present stu
alton or a further capitula-
ton to the Communists.
Their appraisal is that the
Reds, after having stabilized
for the time being their
frontiers in Europe, are now
striving to place the remain
der of Eastern Asia under
Communist control without
firing a shot. It will be impos-
Sible. say these leaders, to per-
suade our British and French
allies to resist a Soviet demand
for inclusion of the Chinese
Communist leaders at such a
parley. Prime Minister Bull
ganin is expected to insist that
the crisis in the FormoSan
straits is the hottest issue at
hand. The crisis, the Musco-
ties have already indicated,
cannot be settled without the
presence of the principal in
terested party. the President
or the prime minister of the
Chinese Peoples Republic.
There is not the slightest
doubt in the minds of the Re-
publican leaders-and in their
group must be included a num-
Der of policymakers in the
State Department-that Mos
COW will remain adamant on
this subject. Moreover, the
Soviet dictatorship has fully
espoused the Chinese Commu-
mist demands that America,
now in military occupation"
of Formosa, evacuate it before
any progress towards peace"
is made.
A four-poWer meeting under
these circumstances is likely to
increase the schism between us
and our principal Western
allies and thus play into the
Communists hands. The Brit
ish government is, for the time
being, officially on record as
opposing our defense of the
offshore islands of Quemoy
and Matsu. The British, as a
sop to the United States, are
willing to concede that the Ma

publicly how the present secu-

stealing some of the highest
