Academic Cease-Fire. Ike reminded the reporters that Secretary of State Dulles had said "We would not discuss the affairs of the Chinese Nationalists behind their backs, but that if-as a test of good intent -if the Chicom† wanted to talk merely about ceasefire, we would be glad to meet with them and talk with them, but there would be no conferring about the affairs of the Chinese Nationalists."
