U.S, May Not Control Enough Votes

. By RELMAN MORIN
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. -A
diplomat sat in the lounge in the
United Nations building the' other
day, playing a solo version of the
game, 20 questions.
' !'I am trying to figure out," he
aid, soberly, "whether the United
States can get the 20 votes to keep
Red China out of here."
His conclusion: It will be close.
To seat the. Reds in the General
Assembly would require an af
firmative vote of two - thirds of
the total 60 nations, assuming
there were no abstentions. The
United States, then, would need
20 votes; plus its - own. to defeat
the motion.
Secretary of State Dulles has
expressed confidence that these
votes will be forthcoming if or
when the issue is raised. At the
U. N., delegates axe much less
sure of that
They say the lineup of nations
has shifted so that a greater, num
ber of them now favor admitting
the Chinese Communists into toe
organization. A leading .Asian
statesman predicted that "the Unit
ed States, will be supported only
by a handful of Latin American
nations." -
(There are 20 of these, however,
so if they voted solidly, the issue
would be decided.)
British Swing
The major shift appears to have
been in the position of Britain. Of
ficials in London have indicated
that, barring unforeseen develop
ments, - the United Kingdom is
strongly inclined to favor admitting
Red China. v . V -, v

. Several days ago New Zealand's
foreign minister, T. Clifton Webb,
urged U. Nt membership' for Red
China during a foreign policy de
bate in Parliament. The other Brit
ish Commonwealth nations might
go along.-
How many other votes this swing
might carry with it is bard to
gauge. ; ; . ; : . .

of sternly-worded statements came
from Washington. The one ' that

out of the U. N. if Red China is

The major . arguments against
were set forth by the President at
his latest news conference. He
said: c - - ?-.-
1. At Geneva, the Reds "excori

"repudiation" of the U. N. position.

And some notably the exiled
Chinese Nationalists assert mat
considerable underground opposi
tion to Mao Tze-Tung and his re
gime exists and is growing daily.
They argue that voting his gov
ernment into the U. N. would en
hance its . prestige domestically,
signifying ' world approval. This
would doom the resistance move
ment, they say; ;, - 4
In answer, those who favor ad
mitting . the Chinese Communist
government to the U. N. set forth
th-ese daims: -
1. Mao and the Communists are
in effective control of the largest
nation in the world, claiming near
ly 600 million peopje with immense
and increasing - military strength.
Like it or not, this is a fact and it
must be regognized.
"Should Jeia U. N.
In 1950, before he became secre
tary of state, Dulles wrote a book,
"War or Peace," in which he said:
"If the Communist government
of China in fact proves its ability
to govern China 'without serious
domestic resistance then it, too,
should be admitted to the U. N.
"However, a regime that .claims
to have become the government of
a country through civil war should
not be recognized until it has been
tested over a reasonable period of
time.
2. There is a better chance of
blocking further Chinese aggres
sion if the present Chinese govern
ment is in the U. N. than if it is
not. ' ;

Fruit Crop
"However, they should be almost
up to average. The anticipated
drop was attributed to the cold
spring, late frosts and relatively
dry weather in some parts of the
state during April and May. ,
According to the agency tree
fruit prospects are the poorest in
years. They were hurt most by the
heavy May 1. freeze.
Total free fruit output is expect
ed to be 28 per cent below -last
year and 32 per cent below aver
age. The only crops which loos
heavier than 1953 are apples in
commercial counties, walnuts and
filberts.
June brought an improvement in
wheat prospects. The crop now is
forecast at some 24 million bush
els, 30 per cent less than last year
and 4 per cent below the 10-year
average. The main reason for' the
smaller crop is an acreage cut un
der government controls.

Efforts Hamstrung
S. Without Red China in mem
bership the U. N. would find some
great global efforts hamstrung at
the start A delegate said ''suppose
the U. N. tried to get, a world
agreement for disarmament What
chance would it have if China, not
being a member, were not a party
to the agreement?" ; .
4. The chance of splitting China
away from Russia will be better if
she is admitted to a world organi
zation, rather than being held to
the status of a pariah among na
tions. As it is now, China is forced
to look to me Soviets her prin
cipal aDy. - -? ;
5. Red China is' now trying to
prove her peaceful intentions as
evidenced by the cease-fire in Ko
rea and the talks with France over
Indochina.
6. It was not "aggression' when
Chinese armies swept into North
Korea in 1950. They would not have
moved if the U. N. army bad not
approached the Chinese border.
Some delegates, while admitting
that - "moral ' questions" are in
volved, argue "We are not here to
punish , immorality. Anyway, how
many nations in the U. N. came
here with completely clean
bands?" v
Agreement Needed
Still another 'View, which could
be classified as a question of "ex
pediency,", is that if such govern
ments as ' Japan, West Germany
and Italy are to be admitted, it is
necessary to come to an agree
ment with the Communist bloc
over Red China.
So the arguments go, back and
forth. Pressures are building up.
Whether the issue will come to
a head this fall, or next year, may
depend on two things. Hm the view
of both pro- and anti- groups.
The first is the current negotia
tor between Paris and Peiping
over Indochina. Some delegations
that appear to be sitting on the
fence . at the moment say their
vote may depend entirely on the
results of these talks.
The opponents of the Reds for
U. N. membership are pessimistic;
the advocates insist Mao's govern
ment will prove its peaceful in
tentions in these talks.
The other turns on the -United
States. Delegates are trying to
gauge the direction of American
policy if Red China is admitted to
membership. American withdraw
al from the U. N. probably would
kill the organization. Possible con
gressional action on foreign aid is
another important factor.
In any event, few. delegates be
lieve a show-down on the question
of Red China can long be post-

the measure until Monday after
Morse launched into a lengthy dis

MCCHORD AIR FORCE BASE.
Wash. UB -r- American nlanes
manned by American pilots were
scneduied to join Royal Canadian
Air Force units at Sea Island, Van
couver, B. C, Saturday during
second day activities of "Opera
tion Checkpoint."
Officials here said the American
units would be under full control
of the RCAF for all battle employ
ment and would "beef up" Canad
ian units during this massive air
defense training maneuver.
Saturday morning, jet intercep
tors of the 25th Air Division
chalked up the operation's first
"Jull," when they stopped an "at
tack" by- "aggressor" planes some-1
where along the U.S. - Canadian
border.
The "enemy" planes were inter
cepted just 27 minutes after Mc-
Chord was notified they were ap
proaching from Arctic regions. Lo
cation of the mock battle was
withheld for security reasons.
Brig. Gen. T. Alan Bennett, com
mander of the 25th Air Division,
said units under his command in
Washington, Oregon and Idaho are
participating in the maneuver. It
involves American and Canadian
airmen and civilian volunteers
from both nations.
Bennett said a C121 Constellation
equipped with radar has been pa
trolling the Pacific Coast from
Vancouver Island to the Oregon
California border, and is the first
"flying radar station" of its kind
to be used in so large an exercise.
