Kibitzers' Drumfire. As Wang and Beam made their moves-stopping after each one to consult their superiors in Peking and Washington-kibitzers round the world kept up a drumfire of advice, exhortation and complaint (see cartoon). Keenly aware that the only bargaining counter which the U.S. had to offer was a change in the status of the offshore islands, Chinese Nationalist leaders regarded the Warsaw talks with undisguised alarm and despondency.

Reuther plainly could not afford to fight the united front. It would break...
...policy that should have been adopted toward Red China when she was better behaved--recognition, as well as containment--would appear at the moment as cowardly retreat. But an offer to recognize the Peiping regime in the near future as the government of mainland China and permit it to sit in the U.N. as such would be a powerful bargaining point. In return, the U.S. should demand that Red China submit to U.N. arbitration or a supervised demilitarization of the Straits...
