Red CHINA eventually Will
be seated in the United
Nations. even possibly this
year, DR.. Clark W. Eichel-
berger, one of this country's
most vocal and influential
supporters Of the world
organization, predicted yes
terday.
I'm not advocating it. I
Just say it is inevitable" said
DR.. Eichelberger. who is
executive secretary of the
American Association for the
United Nations, to a lunch
con meeting at the Woman's
National Democratic Club
yesterday.
you can't put off forever
q problem involving $50 mil
lion people" he declared.
You can't possibly say that
the Nationalist government
on Formosa represents $50
million people on the main
land. You or I may not like
1t. but it's one Of the facts
of life"
The United States Govern
ment lis aware that 1t can't
keep a moratorium on this
issue any longer" the AAUN
official said. I'VE may be able
to put off a decision for an
other year by proposing ap-
pointment of a study COM
mittee. which I understand
we intend to do"
But the issue could come
to q head this year If Nation
alist China should veto ad-
mission of Outer Mongolia to
the world organization, he
predicted.
Sees Counter-vet0
Such a veto would cause
the Russians to cast a, coun-
ter-veto, against admission
of Mauritania. which would
make Mauritania's African
nations 80 mad they would
probably vote for seating Red
China instead of FormoSa."
he said.
This probably will not hap
pen, however. DR.. Eichelber-
ger said, because Nationalist
Premier Chang Kai-Shek
has finally seen the light"
so probably will not order a
veto Of Outer Mongolia.
II and when Red China is
voted into the world organ
iZation. DR.. Eichelberger
thinks this country should
adopt the Two China" policy,
insisting that Nationalist
China also remain in the
world organization. he said.
While the official position
Of his organization on Red
China is simply that it Ought
to be debated" DR.. Eichelber-
ger said, he personally has
always favored the universal
automatic" admission Of all
nations to the U. N. IF you
are going to have a world so
ciety you ought to have every
one in it,"
A member Of a committee
of five. headed by Benjamin
v. Cohen, which drew up a
preliminary draft Of the U. N.
charter before the founding
conference in San Francisco,
DR.. Eichelberger said the
committee draft proposed Just
such automatic membership.
But the clause was dropped
b from the final charter.
Other Points
On other subjects, DR..
Eichelberger said:
/. The U. N. is almost
bankrupt" 1t is going to be
very, very difficult" in the
next few weeks Ito salvage 1t
financially" This country
will have to carry a large
part Of the financial burden
for the next few years until
other nations are ready"
While this may cause an
uproar in the United States.
we ought to remember that
1t will cost us much less than
We spent in Korea. The en-
tire cost of the U. N. for one
year is equal to eight hours
of the worlds military ef-
fort"
2. ANY time the Soviet
Union left the q. N, I would
believe that they thought
war was inevitable"
3. The death Of U. N. Sec
rotary General Dag Hammar-
skiold was "one of The great
TRAGEDIES Of all time"
The threat to the independ-
ence Of the Secretary Cen
eral Is a greater threat to
the world than Berlin. dis
armament and many other
tense issues" 1t is "a cor
roding thing"
Sees TrOika Defeat
4. In the long run, how
ever, II think the Soviet
Union will be defeated on the
troika principle. 1t is so dis
tasteful to the rest Of the
world. which wants to see one
Secretary General"
5. II think we will go to the
brink on Berlin and then pull
back" It is only a matter Of
time before the issue comes
to the q. N. in some form"
6. President Kennedy's
speech to the q. N. was "one
of the greatest speeches that
has ever been made" before
that body. His proposals for
Joint exploration Of space
and a world development dec
ade were two great leaps
into the future"
