...Khrushchev abruptly announced that "the Security Council was not in a position to ensure solution of the question of the situation in the Near and Middle East." Reasons: "The Security Council . . . is practically subordinated to U.S. foreign policy" and, besides, it includes "the representative of a political corpse, Chiang Kai-shek."

The legislators showed no signs of backing down in their campaign for more authority, despite Chiang Kai-shek's pleas to avoid rocking the boat. In some quarters there were even mutterings about trying to form an opposition to the Kuomintang.
