An Answer for Chou En-Ioi

the humiliation and other
more tangible disadvantages
Britain suffered from the
haSty decision of the Labor
Party to recognize Commu-
mist China.
The Nationalist government
on FormoSa did not go down
the drain as Attlee and his
associates had expected. Quite
the contrary, it has become a
minor power which must be
reckoned with in the overall
picture of the West Pacific.
The position of Britain as
a world power is now less i'm
portant than it was a few
years ago. The recent position
taken by the USSR and China
on the Middle East has served
a good purpose: 1t has shown
the British that "coexist-
ence" so much sought not only
by the Laborites but also by
Macmillan'S two Conservative
predecessors - Churchill and
Eden-is a mere pipe dream.
And recent developments show
that China has Joined the So
VETS to assure the elimination
of all Western influence in
that area SO vital to Western
Europe and Britain.
Chou En-lai's statement on
January Is that "the victories
of the Chinese people can
never be separated from the
support they receive from the
great Soviet people," should
remove whatever thought may
still linger in the minds of the
British that they can do bust
ness with the Chinese.
Prime Minister Macmillan Is
said to be bordering whether
it is worth while continuing a
relationship with Peiping on
terms so humiliating to his
country and government. He is
not expected to make any de-
cision until he has exchanged
views with the American pol
icymakerS in Washington and
weighed seriously the conse-
quences of Indian Prime Min
lister Nehru's wrath if he
should decide to sever the
present so-called diplomatic
relationship.

But he added that labor unions

standards laws have been get

tracts from the Government.
BlackIisting Not Key
The Secretary said such firms
are barred from receiving con-
tracts when they are blacklisted
by the Labor Department. He
this occurs only when
a firm, found to owe past-due
wages. refuses to pay up. If they
pay. they are not blacklisted and
are still eligible to bid on Gov
work.
Our main purpose is to get
workers the wages due them, not
to blacklist concerns" Mr..

boost the base pay of four-star

The base pay would amount to
$4,000 a year, $1,000 less than
a Cabinet member. However

The announced purpose is to
eliminate a system of pay in

ice and substituting one based on
proficiency. The bulk Of the
money would go to radar

trained men in the enlisted
ranks. The pay of privates

However. included were the
proposals to boost the salaries
of top-level military personnel.
Plan Not Approved
Defense Secretary Wilson has
not approved the plan and, in
fact. after copies of the report
were released he ordered them
withdrawn. The plan has been
presented to President Eisen-
hover but is said to have met
with violent opposition in the
Budget Bureau.
The report, copies of which
were circulated to key Congress
sional committees, was drawn up
by a military-civilian group
headed by President Ralph G..
Cordiner of General Electric.
1t also proposes to increase
the pay of master sergeants from
$206 to $500 a month and create
two new grades into which he
might step at either $3.50 or $40O
a month. officials said it is as
sumed the Army, Navy, Air
Force and Marines would use
these new grades to keep men
with vital skills rather than
those who could be replaced.

Communist regime in Peiping
by early summer. Those who
had devised the policy did not
reckon with American public

Truman's well-known stub

1t is assumed in diplomatic
quarters in Washington that
the two British aitor-diplo-

London and the latter in the
Embassy in Washington-had
communicated the plans for
Americas recognition to Mos

Despite the insiStence of the

The British have been in this
humiliating position for more

two failed to materialize. The

which had operated for more

An early effect of the Joint
Soviet Chinese c o m munist
declaration undoubtedly will be
passage of the Eisenhower doc
trine through Congress with a
larger vote than administra-
ton leaders anticipated.
A second consequence is that
the British government may
now reverse its China policy
and consider the withdrawal,
without fanfare. of its charge
d'affaires in Peiping. There
are already some straws in the
wind to that effect.
A number of liberal" news
papers and other publications
in England which N the past
have lambasted our short
, sighted policies in regard to
the Chinese Communist re-
gime are beginning to sac that
Britain's recognition OF Mao
Tse-tung has brought neither
political nor economic advan-
tages to the United Kingdom.
Australia, New Zealand and
South Africa are not happy
about the status Of relations.
Canada still favors only mildly
the recognition of the Peoples
Republic. India alone is strong
ly in favor.
According to some reports
from London. Prime Minister
Macmillan is willing to discuss
the whole situation when he
comes to Washington sometime
this spring. He is said to be
less welded to the policy of
recognition than his predeces-
sor. The Chinese Communists
have treated the British very
cavalierly.
In 1850 the Labor govern
ment headed by the then
Prime Minister Attlee rushed
into recognizing the Com
munist regime, fully expecting
Washington to follow suit.
And Attlee had very good rea-
sons to believe this. The Brit
ish Embassy in Washington
had received reliable informa-
ton from the State Depart
ment that if Britain would set
