Swing Toward Cancellation Seen
Likely to SoLidify Western Allies

argument-that all this need
mean the loss to the West Of
Formosa itself as an anchor
in our security line.
They are suggesting that
perhaps we could agree to
neutralize the small off-For-
mosa islands-Quemoy and
SO on-but accompany this
with an all-Western, and not
merely American, proclama-
ton that any Communist
assault on FormoSa itself
would mean that we would
all go in together, to the
end, against that aggression.
They suggest, in a word,
that the undeniably heavy
loss of American prestige
involved in recognition need
not mean any net loss in
American Western power. On
the contrary, they say, this
kind of settlement would put
our Western Allies actually
on our side for the first time
in the Formosa Strait. They
are not with us there now,
by any means.
This is the sort of proposal.

fact that our major allies.
Britain and France. and
many OF the lesser nations
whose position has normally
been aligned with ours. are
extremely cool toward the
American position on the
subject Of Communist China.
This year. at least. they are

ing to be q day not far dis
tant when they will find 1t

As the sentiment Of so much

position Of the United States
will be correspondingly weak
ened, and our voice in inter-

This is the dilemma facing
the State Department. one
not likely to grow easier as
the months go by. It is al
ready too late to appeal to
moral sentiment - that has
already been foregone. We
cannot appeal to loyalty, for
the Royalties we have to de-

Pressure Is Certain to Become Greater,
Further Weakening u. S. Position

and the United Nations are,
technically. still at war.
There is an armistice in ef-
feet in Korea, which the
Communists are regularly,
Systematically and men,
acingly violating. But the
Peiping Communist regime
has been branded, ofilcially
and repeatedly. by the U.N.
as an aggressor, and its
troops poured out Of the
Manchurian hills to kill and
MAIN as many U.N. soldiers
as possible.
Yet such u the nature Of
Communist morality that
the Reds continue to make q
serious bid TO replace the
Republic Of China in the
U.N. and on the Security
Council. With the support Of
the nations whose loyalties
are divided but who usually
seem to favor the Communist
line, whatever it may be,
the Reds confidently expect
that, sooner or later. they can
bring the bloody hands Of
Peiping into the inner coun-
ellis Of a world organization
whose only mission is the
preservation Of peace.
The Steering Committee
of the U. N. has, for the time
being, headed off this impos-
sible demand by a vote Of IL
to 7. That is a margin Of
only five nations, and signifl-
cantly. Greece and Mexico
this year abStained from the
vote. These two nations
ought to be, by all the stand
ards of recent history, among
the staunchest supporters of
the United States and the
free world. 1t is this sort Of
thing that makes many an
American wonder about that
thing we call foreign aid"

much to stem. 1t is a plain

The United States has APP
parently been successful in
putting on for another year
the question Of membership
for Communist China in the
United Nations. But the chal-
lenge win come UP again. and
1t seems essential that in the
intervening year every effort
be expended in the task Of
making plain to the neutral
list bloc Of the world why q
nation such as Communist
China should never be per-
mitted to shoot its way into
the international organiza-
ton.
For that Is precisely what
the Peiping regime has been
trying to do. and is trying to
do. Even while the Commu-
mist bloc at the United Ma
tons presses the case for
Communist China's member
ship, the artillery batteries
opposite Quemoy and the
Matsus are blasting away at
the beleaguered garrisons Of
Free China. ana the Peiping
Radio is telling the world in
no uncertain terms that the
assault on Formosa is not far
away.
This is the posture OF a
nation that seeks member
ship in an international body,
whose charter requires in
plain, unequivocal terms that
a member nation must be
peace loving" Depending
on the combined strength
of the Communist bloc and
the so-called neutralist bloc
of the U.N. General Assem-
bly,, the cynics of Peiping and
Moscow we're willing to make
a farce of the ideals and as
pirationS of the U.N. by try
ing to sell Red China as
"peace-loving" even while the
Communist guns blazed away
at the offshore islands.
Many Of us are prone to
forget that Communist China
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-22

There is a spreading con-
viction here that the end
result of the Far East crisis
must be either major war or
success for Com m unist
China'S almost pSychotic
campaign to muscle her way
into the United Nations.
Since major war is a nearly
unthinkable last resort. many
are reaching the conclusion
that the CALLING and terrible
dose Of American recognition
of Red China must be swal-
lowed sooner or later. This is
reported not gladly, only
factually.
Recognition is the ultimate
course being increasingly
asked by some Of our best
friends among the Western
allies. A considerable number
of influential American poll
ticians, particularly among
the Democrats, are looking
sadly and reluctantly and al
most furtively in the same
direction.
"Furtively" is used because
the United States Govern
ment, through both the Ex-
ecutive Department and Con-
gress, is massively and re-
peatedly committed against
acknowledging the existence
of a bandit regime.
Those now speaking pri-
vately for a change in this
policy are unimpeachably
Communist. And some
of them, in both the foreign
diplomatic and the American
political communities. are
actually quite conservative
in their general political
thinking.
To ask the United States
to recognize Communist
China is to ask us to accept
an unexampled diplomatic
humiliation - and an UNI
doubtedIy cynical accommo-
dalton. These are the people
who killed thousands of our
troops in Korea. These are
the people who made unre-
Tented war on the United
Nations itself when the U. N.
was fighting for collective
security in Korea. These are
the people who conSpired in
the Communist seizure and
theft Of part Of what used
to be French Indo-C China.
And these are the people who
long ago drove our Nation
alist Chinese ally, Chang
Kai-shek, out of mainland
China and now distantly be-
siegeS him in his last island
refuge of FormoSa.
All this is conceded by
these foreign friends-and by
those American politicians
who now believe it must be
faced up to-who press this
bitter thing upon US. Still,
they point out there there is
a mania in the determination
of Red China to bludgeon the
world into giving it a quasi
responsibility by way Of U. N.
membership.
They are convinced that
Peiping will set the world
aflame, in a nuclear flame OF
total world war if necessary
before it will be long denied
this mark of face" They
believe that even the Rus
slams, who are not notably
sensitive about such things
are becoming alarmed at how
far Peiping might be pre-
pared to go.
They acknowledge thai
recognition would mean the
end of any kind Of hope fol

There is a commendable
firmness in the heroic way
by which President Eisen-
hover and Secretary Of State
Dulles are conducting Ameri-
can policy toward Red China
and its military ally, the
Soviet Union. IT'S a firmness
that can save mankind from
a world war. Had the same
firmness been exhibited by
the West toward Hitler In
the 1906. World War II
might never have happened.
The same kind Of in1iu-
ences, unfortunately, which
were prevalent in Europe and
brought on the second World
War have been manifest In
recent weeks in this country.
There has been unwilling
and unintentional encourage
rnent given to the dictators
in Moscow and Peiping.
Whether motivated by polit-
ical partisanship or by mis-
guided pacif1sm or by some
of the "let's-do-businesS-
with Hitler" selfishnesS that
today is calling out for rec
ognition Of Red China "as a
fact" the truth is this appar-
ent acceptance Of the
Communist viewpoint has
afforded Nikita Khrushchev
an opportunity to take
advantage of American dis
sension and diSunity.
Close examination Of the
latest letter from the Soviet
Premier shows that he
adopts virtually every one Of

ton spokesman in this coun-
try when they argue the

ang Kai-shek represents no

offshore islands belong to the
mainland of China anyhow.
or that they aren't worth
fighting for. or that the Pres
ident and Mr.. Dulles do not
represent true American pub
lie opinion and are trying to
provoke a war. Emphasis on
this line of argument has
misled many a man on the
street in this country.
The Soviet Premier repeats
all this with a confidently ex-
pressed feeling that he has

American public opinion back
of him. But where Khru-
shchev miscalculates Is In his
demand that the United
States get out Of Formosa.
Up to now there have been
In this country some serious
advocates Of two Chinas"--
that Is. q trusted Formosa
and q Communist China on
the mainland, each independ-
ent and each TO be admitted
to the United Nations. This
plan has been urged as .
compromise. But from the
pen Of Khrushchev comes now
the word that 1t Is all or
nothing and that he wants
America to cease aiding the
Nationalist government on
Formosa. He warns that the
Red forces intend to take
FormoSa over completely. It's
a demand for unconditional
surrender.
In a sense KhruShchev con-
firms the soundness Of the
point made all along by
President Eisenhower and
Secretary Dulles that the on
shore islands were really
sought by Red China as a
base from which to attack
and conquer Formosa. The
United States, however, has a
mutual protection treaty with
the Nationalist government
on Formosa. which now holds
the offshore islands. Hence,
an attack on Quemoy could
be the beginning of an at
tack on Formosa.
This is a simple piece of
military strategy. Yet many
Americans, apparently anx-
ious for peace at any price,
have overlooked 1t and have
tried to make it appear that
Quemoy by itself could be
surrendered without causing
the collapse of the Nationalist
army of 100000 and Of the
military forces of the free
governments of the Philip
pines, South Korea and Wet
Nam.
1t is incomprehensible just
why any American would
urge a step that could mean
the throwing away of the
potential use of a million
armed men now ready to de-
fend American interests in
the Far East. To yield to that
