India urges China

be seated in UN

LAKE SUCCESS

An Indian proposal that
the United Nations seat the
People’s Republic of China
and heave out the discredited
Chiang Kai-shek government
representatives brought on a
three-hour debate at the op-
ening session of the United
Nations General Assembly
this week.

Introducing India’s mo-
tion, Sir Benegal ‘Rau de-
clared that the People’s Re-
Public is a “sound and stable
government, and should be
recognized as the legal
Spokesman of the Chinese
People.”

Dapper Dean Acheson, the

‘S. state secretary, jumped
to his feet and launched into

tirade against the
proposal. “Vote on it now
and vote it down,” he yelled
at the delegates’ from 59
countries.

a bitter

Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Vishinsky drew ap-
plause from the packed gal-
lery when he rose to reply
to Acheson, and said that it
was intolerable that the 475,-
000,000 people of China
should be represented by the
“remnants of a’ group” they
had driven out of power, and
demanded that the UN re-
cognize “the true govern-
ment of China and look the
truth in the face.”

Acheson refused to discuss
the merits of the case, and
Vishinsky retur ned. to the at-

tack, quoting from Achson’s
White Paper on China, which
proved, he said, that the
United States also thought
, the “Kuomintang group does
"not represent the people of
Ching.”

“Mr. Acheson,” Vishinsky
said quietly, “you were right
then and wrong today.”

When the vote was taken,
the Indian proposal was de-
feated 33-16, with 10 absten-
tions, including Canada.

The assembly also voted
down two Soviet proposals,
one calling for ousting of the
Kuomintang and the father
for seating of the People’s
Republic of China. The votes

“The new, all-embracing program of the World Peace
Committee, urging as it does a general reduction in all arma-
ments as well as the outlawing of the atomic bomb and the
banning of aggression anywhere, will surely give a tremen-
dous impetus to the peace petition campaign in Canada,”
Dr. James Endicott, chairman of the Canadian Peace Con-
gress, declared last week.

At a press conference, Dr. Endicott was joined by Mrs.
Eva Sanderson and Miss Mary Jennison, executive secretary
of the Congress, in announcing the new appeal for peace.

“Our purpose from the beginning,” said Dr. Endicott,
has been that there shall be no more war, that the United
Nations Charter be enforced and. the. United.Nations main-
tain peace in the world—without resort to armed -interven-
tion. The Stockholm Appeal has won the greatest rally of
public opinion the world has ever seen, around the demand
to outlaw atomic weapons. More than 400 million people
have Signed it, and there are many millions more who favor
it, but who are prevented from signing it by fear and inti-
midation.

(Owing to advancing of the date of the World Congress,
the campaign for signatures in Canada will be extended
until November 11, the Congress officials announced in a
letter to all peace petitioners. “We know that every canvas-
ser will see in the extension of the campaign a challenge
to continue and increase the tempo of his work and to draw
in others to work beside him in this most important cause,”
the letter said).

Dr. Endicott:said the Canadian Peace Congress and its
affiliated peace councils and committees throughout Canada,
would press for public discussion, of the proposals made by
the World Peace Committee.

“T have already written a letter to the United Church
and I urge all peace campaigners to get in touch with every
organization they-can think of in their districts and ask that
these proposals be discussed and opinions expressed.

“This new appeal must make it clear once and for all that
our work is not one-sided, not favoring one country or an-
other. It is tor peace, against the use of the atomic bomb
by any country, against aggression by any country; for the
reduction of all types of armaments by all countries; against
propaganda for war by anyone, anywhere and the punish-
ment of such people regatdless of who they are; and for
the recognition by all that peace cannot be imposed by force
ot arms.
