Ma, LATTIMORD: "Wo can alrcady sec the conscquenees, Mr, GAAWIK, We now
have a situation in Chine which cannot be brought uncer
control by further nilitery nid, There sre no forces in
China expanable of using that nid, and there is no popular
movenent in China which would gupnort such an Ancrican
progran, We thereforo have to try to nininize the further .
sprend of corzmmism in Asia, to do so by methods that
will not upset ow policy in Europe and will not disturd :
our world policy, I dinagine on that thore will bo no _
aifferenco of ain between nysclf and Scnator FERGUSON,
fhe difference, if any, is likely to Gevelop on the qucs-
tion of nethod,"
SENATOR FERGUSON; "Well, I would say that we have to look at it in this way,
We have to see what if will mean if Chinn is token over -
by the Communists, Let's look at tho United Nations, the
Soeurity Council, for instanco, The Comrunists would
become one of the members of the Security Council, of the
Big Pive, and heve the right of tho veto, It would placo
connunisn in the saddle in the United Nations, Another
thing I think wo must analyze is this: What wonll it éo
as far as tha Chinese cribassies all over the world aro
concerned? Many of the nations haven't even recognized
Russia yet, tut they have the Chincso enbassies, They
would becone conminist erbassics, They would then have
the powcr in those cnobnssics toe take over with tho world
revolution, and we would face this position, We would
have a flank on the one side controlled by cormmnisn, and
we are todny spending billions of dollars in Europe to xcep
thnt flank fron being controlled by Cormunists, So, as I
soe it today, in our own interests, the interests of the
Anorican people, as well as those of our forner allics, the
Chinese, we should do overything that is possible to provent
then from boing taken ovor by communisn,"
