They did indeed go along with much of what he proposed, but then some of them savagely turned on him. The collapse of Chiang Kai-shek gave them an excuse. Exploiting a confused and distressed public, Senator Joseph McCarthy seized the issue to denounce the "Red Dean" and demand his resignation. Illustrating what Halle called a "moral courage that sometimes amounted to recklessness," Acheson came to the defense of Alger Hiss, the onetime State Department official who was exposed as a Soviet agent. "I will not turn my back on Alger Hiss," he told a stunned press conference...
Shaky Claim. The debate is wrapped in enormous practical and psychological importance for the principals. For Peking, expulsion of the rival who has held the seat marked "China" for two decades would be a tremendous victory. For Taipei, expulsion would further weaken Chiang Kai-shek's shaky claim to head the legitimate government not only of Taiwan but of all China.

They are also an affront to the peaceful intentions and humanity...

The people of China defeated Chiang Kai-shek twenty-two years ago. Americans must abide by this expression of popular will and end its interference in the internal affairs of the Chinese. The two resolutions America plans to submit before the General Assembly will attempt to legitimize the separation of Taiwan from the mainland. They should be defeated. We call for the passage of the Albanian resolution, giving the People's Republic full international recognition as the only representative...
