Sunde asked if anyone else wanted to speak before the vote. There was a long silence. Then China's Tsiang Ting-fu spoke, with quiet eloquence, of an anniversary. It was the seventh day of the seventh month; he reminded the Council that on Double Seven-July 7, 1937-Japan began its war on China. Said Tsiang: "On that occasion, unfortunately, the fire was not put out at the start. The League of Nations failed to come to the aid of my country.

If a majority of the Council nations follow the fashion of recognizing Red China, can the Council oust Tsiang? Or can Tsiang use China's Big Power veto to block this? The answer depends on whether the question of ouster is procedural (not vetoable) or substantive (vetoable). If the Council majority tries to decide that an ouster is procedural, then China may try to veto this decision before the Council goes on to a second...
