The U.S. position is that ultimate disposition of the island should be directly negotiated by China...
...disturbance about the Republic of China's expulsion from the U.N. [Nov. 8]? In fact, Chiang Kai-shek has been snobbishly dismissed from an impotent and ineffective international social fraternity. Revocation of his American Express card would have been a more consequential abashment...
