...China's scholarly Dr. T. F. Tsiang began to address the U.N. Assembly's Political & Security Committee, Russia's Andrei Vishinsky contemptuously interrupted. "Fictitious representatives of a fictitious government," he snarled at Tsiang. The true representatives of China, he cried, were the Chinese Communists. Russia would not debate charges made by Kuomintang "pygmies.'' Then he packed his briefcase, waved his deputy foreign minister., Jacob A. Malik, to his chair and stalked out of the conference room into the corridors, arm-in-arm with Czechoslovakia's Vladimir Clementis...

...gist of Tsiang's 17,000 word indictment was familiar, but it was being presented formally for the first time at the bar of world opinion. Russia, said Tsiang, had systematically given military, economic, diplomatic and moral aid to the Chinese Communist rebels.

This week, U.S. delegate Ambassador Philip Jessup sidestepped China's cry for judgment. In a vague, high-sounding alternative resolution, Jessup proposed that U.N. members pledge themselves not to interfere in China's domestic affairs, nor seek special privileges or spheres of influence...

Somber Spirits. One of the Assembly's grimmest moments came when Dr. T. F. Tsiang, representing Nationalist China's crumbling government, rose to speak. Said he: "During the past two years, while the dike from the Persian Gulf to Scandinavia was built against the flood of Communism, the Far East has been inundated . . . Can the United Nations maintain its prestige . . . by ignoring what has taken place in my country? . . . I appeal to the General Assembly to be brave enough to embrace the vision of one indivisible world and not to retreat to the false illusory security of half...
