Show Political observers in ' Washington Wash-ington fear that unless the United States puts its foot down firmly, Red China will be admitted to the United Nations Na-tions next year. Should this happen, it is argued, the U.N. will lose whatever effectiveness it has today. So far, the opposition to Chinese Chi-nese Communist admission to the U.N. has been prevented by the steadfast opposition to Chinese Communist admission to the U.N. has been prevented by the steadfast opposition of a majority of senators and representatives backed by the overwhelming will of the American p e o p le. Informed sources at the U.N. report that the State Department has, however, dragged its feet as much as it safely can. This has encouraged the Communist and Afro-Asian blocs to push all the harder to bring the Chinese Reds into what was planned as an organization of peaceful states. The refusal of France, the Soviet Union, and a number of small states to pay their dues and assessments to the U.N. have made trouble enough. So far, the United States is picking up most of their bills and allowing them to continue to cast their votes at General Assembly meeting, though this is in violaion of the U.N. Charter. |
