Reports, inspired from For-
mosa and given prominence
in virtually every daily paper
in Canada and the U.S., rep-
resent People’s China as pre-
paring a big military buildup
along the mainland coast op-
posite Formosa. The charge is
being spread that People’s
China is getting ready to in-
vade Formosa.

At a press conference last
week, Chiang aides claimed
that China had. built up a
force of 1,200 planes opposite
Formosa. Allegedly they were
Soviet MIG figh'ers.

But -the facts reveal that

regime has placed all its min-

The U.S. is being increasingly
hard-pressed to defend its ab-
surd pretense that the Chiang
regime, which only maintains
itself on Formosa with U.S.
armed support, is still the
legal government of China.
But, by placing the blame on
China for increased war ten-
sion, it hopes to offset the de-
mand for recogni ion of Peo-
ple’s China.

since de Gaulle took over

nist candidates in Penta-di-

Other Communist gains
were at Pont lAbbe, Saint-
