Knowland vows to quit leadership over China UN move
Sen. Knowland of California warned that if the Communist Chinese are admitted to the United Nations he will resign as Senate majority leader and devote his efforts to ending US membership and funding of the UN. He said a UN vote admitting China would signal a major Asian Communist victory and propel further aggression. He urged US action to curb Communist gains in Asia with or without Britain. He cited France’s alleged soft stance and Viet Minh expansion in Vietnam as part of the trend.
