LET'S START with this
matter of U.N. admission be-
fore going on to other mat-
ters in the Far East that the
Yale minority thinks need
"reappraisal." The Red Chi-
nese have spurned the
United Nations recently,
and have even talked of set-
ting up a rival "peace" body.
BLit they have said enough
$5000-to-$8000 newspaper
in the past to indicate they

would, of course, have to be
ginning with the question or

"Chiang Kai-shek clique."
Well, in a fluid world ,Satisfaction for Red China
there is nothing eternally
'sacrosanct about any policy.
? But just how do you nego-
tiate with a country like
? AP.P.I141614.11.1.1.44
here would require a pre-
liminary abandonment on
the part of the Taiwan Chi-
nese of their right to a veto
4 in the U.N. Security Coun-
cil.
This, no doubt, could be
arranged if the U.S. were
sufficiently Machiavellian to
threaten Taiwan with can-
cellation of an existing
treaty of mutual defense.
? But if "reappraisal" were to
involve such arm-twisting,
there wouldn't be a country
in the world that would con-
? tinue to trust the United
States in any vital- matter.
Another condition laid
? down by the Red Chinese is
.6, that the U.N. rcPurliate its
4951 resolution rondenun-
,
? , f ? ?
ing Peking as an aggressor
in Korea. Thus there could
be no neptutiations icoking
to seat Red China in the
United Narions without the
t oited Notions itself eaiin%
crow.
AS FOR "negotiating" a
peaceful solution of the
Vietnam War, North' Viet-
nam's President Ho Chi
Minh has said he will talk
when the United States has
departed from Saigon. Very
nice of the old revolution-
ary. We might meet him on
his own terms by saying
that we will talk when he
gets his troops and agents
out of South Vietnam. By
all means let the South
Vietnamese goVern them-
selves without the interven-
tion of either Ho Chi Minh
or Lyndon Johnson-or, for,
that matter, Mao Tse-tung.
Any time a "reappraisal" in- '
volves an even-handed quid
pro quo, we are all for it.
. The advertisement signed,
by a minority of the Yale
community and sponsored
by Americans for Reap-
praisal of Far Eastern Pol-
icy says "the United States
and China are on a collision
-- course." Pardon me, but the ?
United States isn't touching
a single blessed thing that
Red China owns. We have
studiously and systematical-
ly refrained from giving
Chiang Kai-shek offensive
military weapons such as
big bombers or missiles or
atomic warheads. We don't
even let him buy landing
craft, and during the Kore-
an War we used the Seventh
Fleet to keep him from
attacking the Chinese main- -I
land. If there is going to be
any "collision," it will be
because the Red Chinese /
1- get between us and the '
North Vietnamese forces
that are trying to throttle a
small, inoffensive agrarian
O people in South Vietnam
who are suffering because
Ho Chi Minh himself has
consistently refused to
abide peacefully by' the
Geneva Agreements of 1954.
