issue instead of deferring it.
And it decided not to consider
any proposals to exclude Ma
tionalist Chinese representa-
tives during the session.
The vote rejecting the So
Wet proposal for full Assembly
discussion of the Red China
problem, first taken separately,
was 1884 with 26 abstentions.
The vote to bar further dis
cussion of excluding National
iSt China was 41-34, with %
abstentions.
Earlier the United States and
its Western allies beat down
two attempts by Nepal and one
by Guinea to reserse the Steer
ing Committee recommends
tions by amendment. All three
amendments received "a fav-
orable votes but were opposed
by varying combinations total
ing 38 to AZ nations.
AS opponents of the annual
American maneuver to defer
discussion of the Red China
problem have increased since
1852 from Z to "a, the United
States majority has remained
relatively static, between 42
and A votes.
The United States is linked
in security pacts with all but
three of the Al other nations
that voted with it this after
noon. Only Lebanon, Liberia
and the Union of South Africa
among the AZ nations approx
ing the move, to defer discus
sion have no security treaty
with the United States.
Most of the IL associates of
the United States in the vote
are members of NATO, the Or
ganization Of American States,
or the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization. Others, such as
Japan and Spain. have bilat-
eral security pacts with this
country.
Mexico AbstentiOn Surprises
Two of Americas NATO al
lies, Denmark and Norway,
voted against the United States
position again this year, as
they did in 1859.
American officials said the |
only surprises in the voting {
came from Mexico and Pan '
ANA. Mexico abstained and
Panama, which voted with the
United States in the final bal {
lot, earlier abstained on some S
preliminary votes. {
Thirteen Of the new African
states abstained. Nigeria, ad-
mitted only yesterday, voted l
against deferring the issue as 6
did Mali and Senegal, two t
other states which have been c
members less than a month. t
Cuba, as expected, voted to b
discuss the Red China problem Il
thus switching from its abb S
Stention Of last year. I
Malaga and Laos voted last g
year to shelve the China ques-
ton. They abstained today. q
Ethiopia shifted from the 1859 L
abstainers to the negative p
column favoring Red China a
today.
The net result of the changes :
from last years total was a
loss OF 2 votes by the Western Z
side and a gain of 5 by the q
hackers of a China debate .
now. In terms Of percentage,
the West dropped from so
per cent of the total yes-no
vote to 56 per cent-the lowest
ever recorded in the 10-year :
battle. I

gospel of hatred, the gospel of !.
violence"
Referring to Soviet warnings
that no progress on disarma-
ment is possible without United
Nations membership for Com
n1unist China, Ambassador
Wadsworth remarked that the :
Pe1plng regime "steadfastly
proclairns and acts on the be- ,
lief that war is inevitable and !,
desirable"
The American representa-
tive also struck back at In !,
dia's Defense Minister v. K.
Krishna-Menon who has as
serted that the United States
had a government imposed by
military force in the American
Revolution just as the Peiping
Communist regime had been )
imposed on the mainland of !,
China.
"The whole world knows" :
Mr.. Wadsworth said, that the ;
government Of the United !
States was not imposed by ,,
force upon the American peo- :

people and created by the free
