U. s. Relaxes Opposition
On another touchy question

TO the U. N. this year the
United States appeared to have
relaxed its adamant opposition
to Communist Outer Mongolia.
A Western source said the
Americans now realize such
friends as italy. Japan. Spain
all among the 18 applicants in
ved--would blame the United
States if its opposition to the
Central Asian satellite stalled the
membership package deal.
The Soviets have said they
would veto all the non Com
munists candidates unless the
i've Communist countries-Ai-
bania. Bulgaria. Hungry and Ro-
mania are the others got in.
The Western informant said
the United States still would abb
tain in the vote on all the Reds,
but was about ready to let
Canada and others line up suf-
hcient ballots to admit all 18I
governments.
Nationalists Under Pressure
Chief United States Delegate
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.. pre-
yiously had questioned Outer
Mongolia's right to be consid-
cred an Independent state and
was said to believe it could not
get the necessary majority for
membership.
Nationalist China has said I'M
the past 1t would veto the ap-
plication OF Outer Mongolia
whenever it came up In the Sc
curity Council. but several dele
cations have put strong pressure
on the Chinese to abstain on the
vote.
