December 3, 1965 MEMORANDUM To: Re: Members Cin-d Friends Report Vr/L;;;;;WiWW's 0 IJJLION Again,42the' of Communist China to the United Nations On November 17th, 1965, Red China was again denied a seat in the United Nations. Thus, the sentiment of the overwhelming majority of the American people and leadership -- as reflected in the Committee of One Million -- prevailed. We enclose copies of three full page advertisements -- all directed to the members of the General Assembly -- which were published prior and during the debate. One of these was published directly by the Committee of One Million; the other two were published in cooperation with the Committee. We have been told that publication of these advertisements was most effective in counteracting the pro-Peiping statements of a number of influential American organizations, church groups and publications. The vote this year was closer than ever -- 47 to 47 with 20 abstentions (see reverse side). This narrow victory is an indication that the defunct philosophy of appeasement is gaining ground. One factor in the vote which has been virtually ignored is that the 47 countries who voted to seat Red China also voted to expel Nationalist China. This extraordinary action to expel a founding member of the United Nations -- and a member in good standing -- points out the hypocrisy and double standard which governs much of the international diplomacy of our day. If the United States is to survive, the American people must recognize the mortal dangers inherent in policies of appeasement which can only further the Communist aim of world conquest. And it is the American people who must hold the line against appeasement of Red China in particular, in whatever form it may take: UN admission; diplomatic recognition; trade; or acceptance of Peiping's aggression and subversion. This is not only our responsibility as free men. Our national security and survival depends on it. Because of its unique bi-partisan character, the Committee of One Million has seen its point of view become an integral part of American foreign policy. This is in spite of increasing pressures on the Administration to change this policy toward one of accommodation and concession. We believe it vital that our present position be maintained. We hope that you will agree and join in supporting the Committee of One Million's efforts to mobilize and articulate American public opinion against appeasement of Communist China.

Gentlemen: Although Red China was again denied membership at the current session of the United Nations, I recognize that the drive to appease Red China through other means still continues. I wish to join in helping the Committee of One Million carry out its fight against such appeasement of an avowed enemy of our country.

NOVEMBER 8, -96.- A message to 8,11:membeisiotqffe?General Assembly Of- -, - - - - - - the United.Nations .concerning the isentiments of .the, overwhelniing niajority of: he'Americattpe-Ople united in HE question of the admission of Communist China -tO the United -Nations will soon again be brought before the General 'Assembly. Sound arguments againS't such admission have been and will continue to be articd: lated by the United States delegatiOn and by other delega- tions who refuse 'to-participate in a betrayal of both the spirit and the' letter of the Charter of the United Nations by admitting an aggressive and renegaderegime-Ta regime which has openly expressed contempt for the United'Na- tions in both word and deed. It is therefore unnecessary to repeat the arguments. You have all heard them; And it is you Who must make the final decision which will either destroy the effectiveness Of the United Nations through the admission of the Peiping regime or maintain the value of the international body by preserving and honoring' the obligations of the Charter. However; we want to herewith emphasize and make clear the firm opposition of the American people and lead-- &ship against the admission of the Peiping 'regime to the United Nations. Why -shotildAmerican 'opposition be of particular Concern to you? After all, the United States 'has but one vote among Many in the General Aa;sembly.? , But the sentiment of the American people towards The _United Nations, is of particular concern .to that organiza- tion, as is the sentiment and-support of all free peoples. In times past, some nations and international organizations have underestimated American dedication to those prin- ciples to which it was committed. They have &me so to their ultimate regret. If Communist China is given a seat in the United Na- -i?tions, then American public support for the World organiza- tion will be consequently diminished. The same will be true of other free peoples who now support the United Nations and its Charter: And the United Nations cannot survive without the support of free peoples. If the General Assembly is prepared to -ignore the , ',Charter-L.-the raison d'etre of the organization?by admit- ''-ting the Peiping reginie, then it must be also prepared to accept the consequences of seriously jeopardizing the- sup- - , port for the United Nations from those peoples and nations ' -who predicate such support in the Charter. - As an indication of the sentiment of the American people on this historic issue, we cite a Declaration in oppo- sition to any concessions to 'Communist China which_ has been endorsed by a majority of the Membersof the Congress - of the United States of America representing tens of mu- lions of the American people. 2 position to any Concessions to Communist China ? American. steadfastness in refusing to bow before the threats, and blandishments 9f Red China?or the pressUres frbm at home and abroad miging United States concessions to the Peiping regime?has been an effective cornerstone of American foreign policy ever, since the Communists usurped power on Mainland China This position has the overwhelming support of the American people and its leadership ; the Administrations Of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson; the 1956, 1960 and 1964 Na- tional Platforms s,of the Democratic and Republican Parties:Yet, in spite of this sentiment, it becomes necessary once again to emphasize our considered opposition to any steps which would bad the power, and prestige of Communist China to the detriment of our friends and allies in Asia and of our national security.' To this end, we join in the _following Declaration; ?.? We are opposed to the admission of Communiat China to the United .Nations. ? We are opposed to granting United States diplomatic recognition to the Peiping regime. We are _OpPOSed to trade relations between the -United 'States ,and -Communist China. _ ? We are opposed to any policy of accommodation which might [be:interpreted as U.S. acquiescence in, or approval of Communist China's aggression, direct or iridirea, against her neighbor' s. In endorsing the above, we earnestly believe we are acting in Our national inter eat and the interest of freedom throughout the world and that -this statement represents the thinking of the great majority of the American people.
