...West Africa's Sierra Leone (pop. 2,500,000; area 27,940 sq. mi.) became the U.N.'s 100th member, just before the Security Council settled down near by to fight over Russia's package deal on two other membership applications, those of Mauritania and Outer Mongolia-a knotty problem that might affect the fate of Red China's bid for admission later...
...least a dozen new African nations who have proposed an intricate bargain in exchange for their support. They want West Africa's little Mauritania to get membership this session. Cleverly, Moscow enters the picture with a threat to veto Mauritania unless one of its own pets, Outer Mongolia, a puppet republic embedded in Red China, gets in the club at the same time.

Some U.S. policymakers favor recognition of the puppet state, on the ground that an embassy in remote Ulan Bator would prove a valuable listening post for picking up intelligence of the Communist world. They also favor a deal to admit Outer Mongolia to the U.N. in exchange for a Soviet agreement to admit Mauritania, on Morocco's southern border. This. they argue, would win gratitude for the U.S. among the new African nations. Chen warned the President that Nationalist China might veto the admission of Outer Mongolia...
