China question:
Let me dispose of one argu-
ment which has been made
and which. has nothing what
ever to do with the case. The
Soviet Union has repeatedly
alleged that we Of the United
States oppose the seating OF
Communist China because we
take what Mr.. Gromyko called
"a negative attitude toward the
state system" which exists on
the mainland of China
The question before us is not
a clash between so-called "state
systems" 1t is not a matter
OF words or slogans. It is a
matter Of actual deeds which
offend the principles of the
United Nations and the con-
science Of mankind. ..-
-. 1t cannot be denied that
this Soviet proposal concerning
China, although it has been
raised and rejected every year
in the General Assembly for
years past, has never been
raised at a more historic and
critical moment-a moment of
greater promise and greater
danger-than that which the
United Nations faces today.
This 18th year of the United
Nations has been called "the
year of Africa"
Congo Is Key
The issue which still must be
decided by events is momen-
tous: Whether the people of
the Congo-and, perhaps, of all
Africa-shall enjoy the heritage
of freedom and independence
which has been awaiting them,
and which is their birthright; 8;
or whether they shall be en-
quilted by a new kind Of i'm
perialism.
Rejecting on (Chinese Com
munist) statements, it takes
only a little imagination to per-
ceive that if Communist China
had a seat in this organization
today, they would make an all
out attempt to tear down every
thing that the United Nations
is trying to do in the Congo
and throughout Africa
while trying TO fasten on the
peoples of Africa a system
which the peoples of every con-
tinent have come to recognize
as new imperialism.
That attitude of Communist
China on Africa matters is no
sudden and temporary aberra-
tion. 1t is characteristic of the
entire aggressive and war;
like behavior of Communist
China. ...
Korea Recalled
In Korea in the fall of 1850,
when the United Nations forces
had almost finished defeating
the aggressor army of Commu-
mist North Korea, a million
Chinese Communist troops
poured into Korea to renew the
aggression.
The Chinese Communists vio-
lated the armistice by callously
refusing to account for thou
sands of prisoners of war in
their hands-which they have
never done to this day-and by
illegally reinforcing their mill
tary forces in North Korea. q. . j..
Throughout theses years, they
have drummed into the minds
of helpless, captive Chinese
people the myth that the
States was the aggressor in
Korea, and that the United
Nations action there was part
OF United States plot ito
strangle the new China in its
cradle"
In the Taiwan Strait, Com
munist China has been using
armed forces internationally
since 1850 as part of it's violent
campaign to seize Taiwan and
the PeScadores and thus to
destroy the Republic of China.
Twice, in 1865 and again in
1858, its acts of violence and
threats against Taiwan reached
Sucn a pitch as to bring the
specter of general war to the
Western Pacific.
Cites Asian Record
In Southeast Asia also, Com
muniSt China's record is one of
aggressive pressure. They be-
gan in February 1850 by calling
on all the peoples of Southeast
Asia to overthrow their govern
mentS. For many years they
gave material support and
propaganda encouragement to
Communist guerrillas who were
Trying to overthrow the govern
ments Iof the Philippines
