For example, both Great Britain and Turkey have announced that they will vote in favor of seating Red China in the United Nations and ousting Nationalist China from the Security Council. Since the Presidents visit to Peking was policy were the final cracks in freedoms dike which loosed the flood. The momentous changes in international alignments taking place at this time cannot be reversed by U.S. fiat if the risk for peace President's, does not actually induce the Red Chinese to become paper tigers.
