Repatriation Of
Civiliuns

On September 10. 1855. the
representatives Of both sides, b.
agreement, issued statements
that civilians were entitled K
return to their own countries.
The Communist declaration
stated:
The Peoples Republic Of
China recognizes that Ar1eri-
cans in the Peoples Republic
of China who desire to return
to the United States are en-
titled to do so. and declares
that 1t has adopted and win
further adopt appropriate
measures so that they can ex-
peditiously exercise their right
to return"
As Of today. four months after
this declaration was made, only
six out of the nineteen for whom
representations were being made
an September 10 have been re-
leased. Thirteen Americans are
still in Communist prisons.
AS for the United States. any
Chinese is free to leave the
United States for any destination
of his choosing, and not a single
one has been refused exit. The
Indian Embassy which was des-
ignated to assist any Chinese
who wished to leave. has not
brought to the attention of this
government any case of a Chi
nese who claims he is being pre-
vented from leaving, nor has ii
stated that 1t is impeded in any
way in carrying out its functions
under the terms Of the Septem-
Der 10 agreed announcement.

This was the status of the dis

Remuneration of Force

Remuneration or foree
After this agreed announce
ment was made, the two sides
PROCEEDED to discuss "other prac-
tical matters at issue between
them"
The communists suggested the
topics of the termination Of the
trade embargo against Commu-
mist China and the holding OF
a meeting by the foreign minis
tiers of both sides.
Ambassador johnson at the
October 8, 1855 meeting, pointed
out that progress in further dis
cussions could not be expected in
the face of continuing Commu-
mist threats to take Taiwan by
military force, and suggested
that both sides agree to an
nounce that they renounced the
use of force generally and parti-
cularly in the Taiwan area and
agree to settle their differences
by peaceful means. The United
States representatives m d e
clear that this renunciation of
the Use of force was not desig-
mated to commit the Communists
to renounce pursuit of their
policies by peaceful means with
respect to Taiwan. These pro-
posals were in the terms shown
as Annex B.
Three weeks after the United
States proposal to renounce the
use of force, the Communists on
October 81. proposed a draft. a
copy of which is shown on An
mex c. In this proposal. the
Communists pointedly omitted
any reference to the Taiwan
area. or to the recognition of the
right of self defense. and in
serted a provision for an i'm
mediate meeting of foreign min
listers.
This proposal was unaccept-
able because it would have made
it possible for the Communists
to claim that the proposal did
not apply to the Taiwan area,
which is the very place against
which the Communist threats
are directed, and to claim fur
Their that the United States had
renounced the right to use force
in self-defense. Ambassador
johnson further pointed out that
consideration of higher level
meetings was neither appropri-
ate nor acceptable under exist
ing circumstances.
On November 10, 1855, Am
bassador johnson. in an attempt
to reach an acceptable form of
declaration. submitted a new
draft declaration (Annex D.
This made clear that the re-
snunciation of the use OF force
twas without prejudice to the
peaceful pursuit of its policies
i by either side: that it had gen.
leral application, but applied par
sticularly to the Taiwan area ;
. and that it did not deprive either
side of the right of self defense
The United States proposal
was rejected by the Communists,
who, on December /. 1855, made
a counter-proposal (Annex e.
This represented,an advance over
their previous proposal in that
1t dropped the provision for
talks on the foreign minister
level in favor Of the continuance
OF ambassadorlal talks, but still
pointedly omitted any reference
to the Taiwan area and to recog-
milton of the right of self
defense.
In a further effort to reach
agreement, Ambassador John
son, at the January II nesting,
suggested two simple amend
ments to the Communist coun-
ter-proposal. There we're the in
sertion of the words without
prejudice to the inherent right

Conclusion

/
The present exchange make.
clear that:
/. Four months after the Com.
munists announced that theJ
would adopt measures to permit
Americans in China to return
to the United States. Is Ameri-
cans are still held in Communist
prisons.
2. The United States proposed
that the parties renounce the
use of force without prejudice
to the right of individual anc
collective Self-defense against
armed attack. In order that the
discussions might take place
free from the threat of war.
3. The United States made
clear that this remuneration
would not prejudice either side
in the pursuit of its detectives
and policies by peaceful means
4. The Communists, whils
stating that they accept the
principle of the remuneration Of
force. have deprived such &C.
ceptance Of its value by refus.
ing to agree that it is without
prejudice to the right of indi.
vidual and collective self-de-
Tense against armed attack ant
that it is applicable to the Tai.
wan area. .
| In short, the Communists 81
far seem willing to renounc,
force only If they ar first con,
ceded the goals for which the,
would use force.
The United States. for its
part, intends to persist in tn,
way of peace. We seek the nov
overdue fulf1llment by the Chi.
nese Communists Of their under.
taking that the Americans nov
in China should be allowed ex.
peditiously to return. We seel
this not only for humanitarian
reasons but because respect fol
international undertakings lieI
at the foundation of a stabl,
international order. We shall
also seek with perseverance {
meaningful remuneration O.
force, particularly in the TaiwaY
area.

United Stutes Position

Two points must , be made
clear. First the United States
is not occupying Taiwan. and
Taiwan has never been q part
Iof Communist China. The claims
of Communist China and the
contentious Of the United States
with respect to this area are
Iwell known and constitute q
major dispute between them. It
lis specifically with respect to
this dispute that the United
States has proposed the principle
lof remuneration Of force and the
settlement Of differences by
peaceful means. This Is the prin-
Iciple which the Communists say
they have accepted.
In this connection the United
States has made completely clear
that in renouncing the use Of
force neither side is relinquish-
ing Its detectives and policies.
but only the use Of force to at
tain them.
Secondly. the United States
has rights and responsibilities
lin the Taiwan area: also 1t has
la mutual defense treaty. Ac-I
Icordingly it is present in the
Taiwan area. The Communist
refusal to state that the renun-
citation of force is without pref
Iudice to the right of self -defensea
against armed attack can only
be interpreted as an attempt to
Induce the United States to agree
that If attacked 1t will forego
the right to defend its lawful
presence in this area.
The right of individual and
collective self-defense against
armed attack is inherent: it is
recognized in international law:
1t is specifically affirmed in the
charter of the United Nations.
No country can be expected to
forego this right. Indeed the
Communists should be as anx-
ious to preserve this right dis is
the United States.
