Red China Opposition
Recognition of Communist
China and its admission to the
United Nations have been firm
ly opposed by the Republican
administration. We will con-
tinue in this opposition because
of compelling evidence that to
do otherwise would weaken the
cause of freedom and endanger
the future of the free peoples
Of Asia and the world. The bru-
tai suppression Of the human
rights and the religious tradi-
tions of the Tibetan people is
an unhappy evidence Of the
need to persist in our policy.
The countries of the free
world have been benefited, re-
inforced and drawn closer to-
gether by the vigor Of Ameri-
can support of the United Ma
tions, and by our participation
in such regional organizations
as NATO. SEATO, CENTO.
the Organization of American
States and other collective Sc
curity alliances. We assert our
intention steadfastly to uphold
the action and principles of
those bodies.
We believe military assistance
to our allies under the Mutual
! Security Program should be
continued with all the vigor
and funds needed to maintain
the strength of our alliances at
levels essential to our common
safety.
The firm diplomacy Of the
Eisenhower-N Nixon administra-
tion has been supported by a
military power superior to any
in the history of our nation or
in the world. AS long as world
tensions menace us with war,
we are resolved to maintain an
armed power exceeded by no
other.

exchanges, the peaceful uses Of
outer space and Antarctica-to
make known to men everywhere
our desire to advance the causes
of peace and civilization. We
mean, as a party, to continue
in the same course
Bipartisan Support
We recognize and freely
acknowledge the support given
to these principles and policies
by all Americans, irrespective
of party. Standing as they do
above partisan challenge. such
principles and policies will, we
earnestly hope, continue to
have bipartisan support.
We established a new inde-
pendent agency, the United
States Information Agency.
fully recognizing the tremend-
Gus Importance of the struggle
for mems minds. Today, our
information program through
out the world is a greatly i'm
proved medium for explaining
our policies and actions to
audiences overseas. answering
Communist propaganda and
projecting a true image of
American life and culture.
This is the Republican rec
ord. We rededicate ourselves
to the principles that have ami
mated it, and We pledge our
selves to persist in those prin-
, ciples, and to apply them to
the problems, the occasions and
the opportunities to be faced
by the new administration.
We confront today the global
offensive of Communism, in
creasingly aggressive and vio-
lent in its enterprises. The
agency of that offensive is So
Wet policy, aimed at the sub
version of the world.
Recently we have noted So
Wet Union pretexts to inter-
vene in the affairs Of newly in
dependent countries, accom-
panied by threats Of the use
of nuclear weapons. Such in
terventions constitute a form
L. of Subversion against the SOW

and direct challenge to the
United Nations.
The immediate strategy Of
the Soviet imperialists is to de-
