??????=??????????.???????????????
m HE question of the admission of Communist China to
I the United Nations will soon again be brought before
the General Assembly. Sound arguments against
such admission have been and will continue to be articu- ?
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 renegade regime?a 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 '
rezime or maintain 4.2.-e value of the international 1\xly by
prrving 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-
ership against the admission of the Peiping regime to the
United Nations.
Why should American opposition be of particular
concern to you? After all, the United States has but one
vote among many in the General Assembly.
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 done so to their.
ultimate regret.
If Communist China is given a seat in the United Na-,
- 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?the raison d'etre of the organization?by admit-
ting the Peiping regime, 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 Members of the Congress
. of the United States of America representing tens of mil-
? lions of the American people.

? American steadfastness in refusing to bow before the threats and blandishments of Red China?or the pressures from at home
and abroad urging 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 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 build the power and prestige of Communist China to the detriment
of our friends and allies in Asia and of our national security. To this eN, we join in the following Declaration:
? We are opposed to the admission of Communist 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 indirect, against her neighbors.
? -
In endorsing the above, we earnestly believe we are acting in our national interest and the interest of freedom throughout the world
, and that this statement represents the thinking of the great majority of the American people.
