King Hassan's Morocco just a few
weeks
ago.
There is, of course, the war
in Vietnam, and the smoldering war
situation in the Middle East.
But in spite of 6,000 years of fruit–
less searching for PEACE - working for
PEACE - struggling for PEACE -
fighting for PEACE - world leaders
continue searching, working, struggling,
fighting - and maneuvering - for
PEACE. World attention now has been
focused on President Nixon's chances
for at least "promoting peace and sta–
bility in Asia" - if not world peace.
How are those changes being
viewed?
Effects of Presidential Visit
Will the President's visit to Peking
win important concessions from Red
China?
Will it result in concessions in regard
to Taiwan? In connection with South
Vietnam? In relation to trade? In the
area of diplomatic relations?
Will Red China be willing to re–
nounce its self-avowed program of en–
gendering, supporting, and directing
revolutionary movements in other parts
of the world?
Or, sorne are asking, will the Presi–
dent's visit be a second Munich?
Chiang Kai-shek's chairman of the
overseas Chinese commission has coro–
pared the proposed trip to the world's
number one policeman visiting the
world's number one bandit in his Iair.
Also he compared the American Presi–
dent's visit to mainland China to British
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's
visiting Adolph Hitler at Munich shortly
prior to World War 11. In that visit the
Prime Minister returoed triumphaotly
to
England, with his umbrella, thinking he
had won PEACE. Yet at Munich the
peace-seeking Mr. Chambedain had
been forced to make all the concessions,
indulging in aU the appeasing, thioking
that by them he was purchasing PEACE.
The
PLAIN TRUTII
The Fuehrer took all the concessions
and appeasements, and then started the
war anyway.
The nationalist Chinese leader, Kao
Hsin, fears damage to United States
prestige as the result of this visit.
LATER: Saigon, July 27:
Today's
Pacific Stars and Stripes,
U. S.
service men's daily newspaper, reports
that Peking is in no mood to alter its
hard Jine against the United States, even
though its Premier has invited President
Nixon to visit him. Its "hate U. S."
stance remains, and Mr. Nixon is still
referred to as "the chieftain of U. S. im–
perialism" in official Chínese reports.
The report states further that in the
last three days - ít is now ten days
since Mr. Nixon announced the forth–
coming visit - Peking has Ieveled two
major attacks against what it terms
"U. S. imperialism."
The F.B.I. Chicf, J. Edgar Hoover, is
reported to have said that Peking con–
siders the United States "its chief
enemy." The statement was reported to
have been made to a closed Senate hear–
íng three weeks prior to Mr. Nixon's
announcement of the intended visit.
Of course the President is aware of
these things. He hopes his visit will be
a step toward normalization of rela–
tions. But if one knows the Communist
mind, Communist objectives and tactics,
he will realize that such hopes have
little chance. Communist leaders view
such efforts toward peace as a sigo of
weakness, to be taken every advantage
of. They respect one thing only -
SUPERIOR FORCE!
Red Cbina's Demands
Stilllater, July 28, HONG KONG:
The price Communíst China is going
to
demand of the United States for
establishment of full diplomatic rela–
tions was announced here today. Of
course I knew there would be a príce.
Premier Chou En-Iai will expect to GET
everything, give nothing. That is the
Communist way. They deal from a posi–
tion of strength only. They recogoize
nothing but superior FORCE!
This price, ít is now made public
here
in
Hong Kong, was outlined by
Premier Chou July 19. It is like the
price a victorious military commander
would impose on bis defeated foe. Of
47
course it means a seat in the United
Nations.
B11t
much more!
Chou demands that the United States
double-cross its ally, Nationalist China,
being unfaithful to its solemn com–
mitments. He says the U. S. must re–
nege on the defense treaty it made with
Chiang Kai-shek in 1954.
Unconditional Surrender?
But MORE! The United States, like a
nation making unconditional surrender
in war, must remove all its military in–
stallations in and around Taiwan, Jeav–
ing her ally, FREE China, helpless, to be
taken over by Red China.
Red China has more than once threat–
ened a takeover of Taiwan by force, but
each time U. S. Naval Power has de–
terred the communists.
If
Mr. Nixon
should bow to these arrogant demands,
the United States would totally lose face
before the wodd! It would be the END
of United States' wocld prestige! Al–
ready it seems the U. S. has lost all
pride in its great power.
Other demands of Chou En-lai:
The Indochioa question (Vietnam)
must be solved (Chou's way) first.
The U. S. must recognize that the
"government of the People's Republic of
China" is the ONL
Y
Iegitimate govern–
ment representing the Chinese people.
And he included the people of Nation–
alist China in this. Taiwan must
be
rec–
ognized as a province of Red China.
He resolutely opposes any "two–
China" or any "one China, one Taiwan"
idea. Nationalist China, therefore, must
be put out of the United Nations.
Chou En-lai said that this is China's
stand - "and it shall not change !"
On July 20, Mr. Nixon sent assur–
ances to Chiang Kai-shek the U. S. will
stand by its commitments.
Perhaps this will give the reader sorne
idea of the problem President Nixon
must face in attempting to "make
peace" in any degree with either Mao
Tse-tung or Chou En-Iai.
Of course Mr. Nixon gained consid–
erable prestige for standing up to
Khrushchev in Moscow, and getting the
best of him in an argument - before
he was President. Will he be able to
gain concessions and avoid appeasement
in Peking? Of course he will see not
only Chou but also Mao, although most
