Page 8 * THIS WEEK AND NEXT by Ray Argyle The sooner the U.S. admits that its policy of trying to ex- clude Communist China from the U-N is bankrupt, the sooner something can be done about it. At the recent U-N General Assembly session, the vote on Red China's admission was a stunning 47 to 47, with 20 ab- stentions. Next year the bid to get Peking in the U-N is almost certain to have a majority. There is no point in arguing the pros and cons of Peking's admission. The important thing is that the majority of the world's nations favor having Red China in the world organi- zation. The only reason that the recent vote was not against the § U.S. is that many countries do not want to ruffle Washington's feelings, but this situation is not likely to last. The great disadvantage of America's Red China U-N policy -- which Canada still supports -- is that it not only antagonizes many friendly countries, but it makes the Red Chinese look like martyrs. By flatly opposing Red Chi- na's admission, the U.S. is made to be the villain of a plot to keep the world's most populous country out of the U-N. Ironical- ly, this policy is not only bad public relations for Washington. but it plays into the hands of Red China, which does not in fact want to be in the U-N. In the past, whenever Peking has had to comment on the pos- sibility of Red China's admis- sion, the Peking regime has come up with impossible condi- tions such as U-N Charter revi- sion, kicking out the. imperial- ists (presumably meaning the U.S.), and renouncing the U-N's aggression charge against Pe- king during the Korean war. But Peking has never flatly come out against U-N member- ship because the Red Chinese would lose their martyrs' role and antagonize many of their would-be Afro-Asian ~ friends who want them in the U-N. Unmasking Red China NO Tie KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION (Public School) TUESDAY - MAY 3RD - 2:00 P.M. It is clear why Red China does not want to join. First, Pe- king would be subjected to a sorts of criticism in U-N forums about their aggressive policy and their pollution of the at- mosphere with above-ground nuclear tests. Second, the Red Chinese would have to bear a big hunk of U-N costs which they are certainly not able to do because Red China is. still basically a very poor country (despite this, Red China's still one of our best buyers of wheat!). In view of the 47-47 vote, now would be an excellent time for the U.S. to invite Red China to join the U-N, but under the fol- lowing conditions: 1. Taiwan be guaranteed a seat in the U-N General Assem- bly with full status as an inde- pendent country. 2. That Red China accept thc principles of the U-N Charter which condemn aggression. 3. That under no circum- stances will there be a reversal of the U-N aggression charges against Peking during the Ko- ean war. An American offer to let Red China come into the U-N under these conditions would really be taking the bull by the hornc For the fact is that Communist China has made it clear it will accept membership only on it: own terms. It will not sit in the U-N alongside representatives of "Nationalist China" -- Taiwan. More important, Red China's ceal desire not to join the U-N would be unmasked. It is a vir- tual certainty that within 24 hours of the American offer to let Peking in, Red China will have announced it has no inten- tion of joining. Thus, in the fu ture the U.S., would be spared the uproar over 47-47 votes anc the villain's role at the U-N. For the first time since after World War II, the U.S. is care- fully re-examining its relations with Communist China. But how much the old policy towards. the Red Dragon will be transformed remains to be seen. a birth certificate. Registration of children entering Kindergarten in September, 1966, will be held. Parents are asked to bring the child with them so that the doctor may conduct physical checks at this time. In addition proof of age is essential; this would most likely be D .Briscoe, Principal - Public School THE NEWS CAR SHAMPOO April 28, 1966 GREYHOUND LINES OF CANADA ANNOUNCING NEW DEPOT LOCATION SCHREIBER TN FOR TICKETS AND EXPRESS INFORMATION COMPACT <s,..
