home in Lake Ontario told a press conference that Nationalist China would not necessarily have to be present at talks limited to the question of a ceasefire Dulles made a formal statement announcing that the administration intended to find out whether the Chinese were sincere in their offers to talk directly with the United States about relaxing tensions in the Far East Will Follow 'Path of
