Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - July 1, 1961, Mount Pleasant, Iowa These Days by George e. Sokolsky copyright. 1961, King features Syndicate inc a bit too shy it is being planned by some very astute planners in tile state department to get red China into the general Assembly of the United nations actually there have been discussions with some other countries about the Prospect of working out a two chivas scheme at the next session of the United nations. The astute planners do not expect red China to accept what to Mao Tze Tung would be an Ign ominous position red China wants China a permanent seat on the Security Council which would give to red China the Power of the veto. It is very doubtful if red China will Settle for less. Certainly Mao top Tung would not agree to be limited to the general Assembly while Chiang Kai Shekus representative sits on the Security Council. Too the scheme Lien is for the Western Powers to make this proposition to red China that red China will inevitably reject the offer that it will please India and the neutrals that the offer was made to red China it will leave soviet Russia without an excuse for quarrelling Over this Issue it would Cive red China a bad reputation because red China rejected the offer. Of course the nationalist Chines e government on Formosa would lose fare and its position throughout Asia would be reduced to a nullity. This does not bother the schemers who feel that they Are important planners of Mankind a future. They feel that Formosa ought to be Happy that red China is caught in a trap too there i a tale of a great rabbi who travelled about delivering sermons on what. Is right and what is wrong. Men came from far and near to listen to the rabbi. One Day. In a very Small synagogue in a very Small town the rabbi was telling the towns people what they should do and How they should live and everybody wondered at the enormous scholarship and the Noble character of the rabbi. However there was a Shoemaker in the very Back seats the Shoemaker being regarded As an ignorant Man who did not know this or that. Nevertheless. The Shoemaker Rose and said that he wanted to ask a question. The congregation was in consternation. How dared a lowly Shoemaker deign to ask the great rabbi a question it was demanded that he sit Down. The rabbi insisted that the Shoemaker ask his question. The Shoemaker said a i am an ignorant Man who cannot read and cannot write and has never been to a school. Nevertheless. I have lived Long and seen much therefore i we ant. To ask. A suppose it is just the opposite a a Quot my sop. Suppose what is just the opposite Quot a a How should i know Quot answered the Shoemaker. I am ignorant. Nevertheless i ask suppose everything is just the opposite a i could not help thinking of this Story As the work of the state department geniuses enfolded itself what would happen to All this scheming and plotting and Platinum if red China did accept a seat in the general Assembly ignoring the loss of face of not having the permanent seat on the Security Council what would happen if marshal Chen i or Premier Chou in Lai came to the United nations to turn the general Assembly into a by awl of course the great Man would then find enormous fault with red China inst As nowadays these same great men who helped Castro Rise to Power now denounce the Rascal and even tiled to make War on him a stupidly planned War it is True but nevertheless they sat about scheming on How to do it when they might have brought Iii a Marine Cor is Corporal to give them expert direction. It it a Quot to Britain lands troops in Kuwait i unfortunately when schemes Are overdone and plans Are obviously unsound Only bankruptcy can re a suit. Red China is now econ Nii rally and socially in very bad shape. A rising antipathy to the communist government is apparent to All who recognize the signs of mass disturbance. The Power of the red chinese government is being weakened by famine rather than by politics. It is at just a moment that the very smart amateurs in the state department seek to bail out red China strengthen its position in Asia give it new Powers Over its own people and prestige throughout the world.
