The start which has- been
made on repatriation, oif Am-,
erican civilians from Red China
brings closer the time when
the two countries will begin,
negotiations on policy matters.'
The United States has said:
she will not ibegin broader ddsi
cussions until the Americans
are out. There seems a good
chance, however, that if repat
riation shows a pattern of stea
dy progress the United States
will not hold out until the last
person is out.
At that point Peiping will be
gin to test major American pol
icies, among them the Objec
tion to United Nations mem
bership for the Red regime, the
trade embargo, and support of
Nationalist China.
In return, the United States
will be (primarily interested in
making some progress toward
reunification of Korea, and in
seeking a Chinese promise not
to use force while settlements
are sought on the problems of
Formosa and Southeast Asia.
The talks at Geneva between
ambassadorial representatives
will be directed, on the part of
China, at arranging for later
negotiations at a higher level,
probably between Chou En-Lai
and secretary Dulles. The Uni
ted States, on the other hand,
will be in no hurry to arrange
subh conferences until there is
some assurance that they will
not merely be a prolongation
of disagreement.
Since the Geneva discussions
will be slow in resuming, and
since they can be no more than
preliminary at best, admission
of Red China to the U. N. is
an academic question for this
year’s general assembly.
Although some of the small
er and neutralist nations would
like to go ahead as a counter
gesture While the communists
are conducting “operation co
operation,” the United States
and other large powers will
stick to the theory that Red
China must first be absolved,
through her own deeds, of the
label oif aggressor.
As for the chances of settle- 1
ments of the issues themselves .
there seems little hope of any j
thing soon except a relaxation
of the trade embargo. It was im
posed as a war measure when
the Reds intervened in Korea,
and has been continued as a
deterrent to further Chinese j
military adventures.
But since the Reds are mak-,
ing no military moves at the.
moment, there is a possibility
that to foster a continuance of
this situation, the United States
would agree to treat Red China
just about as it treats Russia.
Russia is barred only from the
purchase of strategic materials.
