All of our lives are too intricately interwoven with this union to sit passively by and allow the Teamsters under Mr. Hoffa's leadership to create such a superpower in this country-a power greater than the people and greater than the Government.

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...
