Voice of Chino

Nationalist China's Foreign Minister,
DR.. George K. G. Yeh, has made an elo-
quent and powerful statement Of the case
against peaceful co-existence." Even
when allowance is made for the fact that
his point Of view is colored by something
more than casual interest, DR.. Yeh's argu-
ments are not to be lightly brushed aside.
1t may be true, as he has told the
United Nations, that the Soviet peace
drive is form OF war: that peaceful CO.
existence is q temporary tactic, an cpl
sode within an ll-embracing, inescapable
struggle between hostile and irreconcil-
able systems Of power"
It may be true that "no peace built
on the enslavement of nearly half OF the
worlds population can be called genuine
and can long last"
It may be true that the U. N. should
refrain from acts which would "snuff out
the hope of.the captive peoples for even
tual liberation" and that arm stand
should be taken against any peace In the
nature Of moral surrender" which
would 'shave consequences no less terrible
than those Of war, because the free world
cannot long remain free and strong under
such peace"
But how can we know? What is the
alternative?
The alternative to peaceful settle
ment almost certainly Is war-a war
which, when 1t Is over, will leave little
enough of the Western world, of the cap
tive peoples and of those who have en-
shaved them. DR.. Yeh seems to be saying
that this Is inevitable and that we should
steel ourselves now for the coming ordeal.
The free world, however, Is not willing to
accept such q fateful conclusion. The
possibilities of negotiation and peaceful
settlement have not been exhausted. And
as long as this Is the case, the doors
should not be slammed shut.
The time will come when Soviet In
ltentions will be made clear. This may be
when the foreign ministers meet at Ge-
neya. Or 1t may be later. But the time
will come when acts or failure to act will
show what lies behind the spirit OF Ge-
neva." The all-important thing Is that
we recognize the manifestation OF Soviet
purpose when the revelation comes; that
we not perpetually delude ourselves, or
permit the Russians, to delude us, II good
faith is lacking. Meanwhile, 1t Is Just as
important that we not permit fear and
foreboding to paralyze us in our effort to
take advantage OF what may be this
worlds last chance to save itself from
the incalculable horrors of nuclear war.
