European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 26, 1964, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 4 the stars and stripes monday october 26, 1964 Peipher red reaction of nuclear Bon treaty .9 peking opening cautious a arms talks by John m. a the United Stales and communist China mom to be opening a e a u 11 o u i and distrustful dialogue on International nuclear weapon tests and control issues. Thai probably is a More significant feature of the latest exchanges Between peking an Washington than the routine Public rejection of each other i proposals. From the . Point of View interest in the situation is sharpened by the fact that communist China s nuclear weapons science is evidently More advanced than american experts had thought before they began a scientific analysis of the first chinese nuclear explosion oct ii. The atomic Energy commis Sion announced that evidence indicates the chinese test de vol used uranium rather than plutonium As an requires much More extensive and advanced instal lations for manufacture. The latest development in the formal Exchange of proposals Ano denunciations came wit publication of a peking state ment rejecting a Call by presi Dent Johnson for red China to sign the limited nuclear test ban treaty work a out last year by he United Stales Russia and Britain. The state department the disclosed that communist Chi a s Premier Chou in Lal had sent o or. Johnson a proposal for a global Summit conference to abolish nuclear weapons. The same proposal had previously been made Public by peking and also hns been circulated to other governments. What seemed to be significant about it however was the direct official transmission tour. Johnson through diploma tic channels even though the United slates and red China have no diplomatic relation Sand a state of hitter political hostility exists Between diplomatic Contact exists at Warsaw Between ambassadors Wang Kuo Chuan and John m. Cabot. Such contacts were begun by . And red chinese envoys in Geneva nine years ago. But officials say that ordinarily they have not been used for Summit level exchanges be tween . And chinese the present circumstance officials said they thought i Likely that at the next meeting of Cabot and Wang in Warsaw on nov. 11. The United slates would make an Oral reply to there chinese message assert Rhodesia crisis could spark new racial strife by halted press International the stage i being set for an other racial crisis in Africa. This time it is in Rhodesia. Neighbouring Northern rho Desia became Independent last week under a majority Blac african government and changed 111 name to ruling minority of Whites in Rhodesia Hope to forestall the same thing in their coun try by gaining format Independence from Britain under their present Constitution even i they have to declare Independence in Defiance . That could provoke a major International crisis in Africa. The Independent nations tothe North whose Rush to in dependence has been the major historical movement of the past several Yean would quickly recognize a Black african government in exile. They would try to upset the White govern ment by every Means including Force. They would try to coerce theother nations of the world and especially the major pow ers to assist. The communists Chines and russian could go much farther along that path than could the major nations of the West including the unite states. By doing so the communists could win influence an friends in Africa. It u hard to Tell where thing would end. Even if Force from outside were avoided Rhode Sia s newly Independent neigh Bors Zambia and Malawi would certainly suffer and change under the Impact of uneconomic Boycott which would Hurt them As much or More than Rhodesia. Outnumbered More than 11 to1, the while rhodesian Are pioneers and sons of pioneers inthe wrong Century. Since the of wagons stopped at the sit of the capital. Salisbury. 74 years ago modern towns have risen from the Plain and farms have come to the they fear losing these and the privileges of their Rule the Whites Are will ing to go to great lengths to preserve them. They would prefer to negotiate Independence but in exasperation they might be forced to take it. The commanding general of the rhodesian army maj Gen j. Anderson who was known to oppose any such unilateral attempt has been pointedly re tired. The new British Labo government of prime minister Harold Wilson would at Leas like to postpone the crisis. Like the conservative government before it the labor government has refused to recognize the meeting of african tribal chiefs called by the rhodesian government to approve Independence on behalf of africans. But Britain will soon be faced v a referendum of White voters in Rhodesia Aswell. The rhodesian leaders obviously believe they could main tar their Independence with the cooperation of Portugal which rules neighbouring territories and South Africa even in the face of world sanctions and expulsion from the Commonwealth. The British could hardly us Force against the White settlers. But neither can the Grant Independence on the basis of a Constitution which would keep the White minority in Power for another Genera lion if not indefinitely. No one has found a Way out of the impasse. Wilson has invited Rhode plan prime minis Ter Ian Smith to 1.ondon for another try. South of Rhodesia lies South Africa the while bastion of the continent. Even if reluctantly South Africa would have in support Smith in it knows that Block african nationalist consider Hii Losi i us the Lisi step on n Road which lems la South Africa itself. Ing that the proper Way for re China to make a contribution to nuclear weapons control u seriously wishes to do so is by joining the agreement to limit testing. Another potential Field of agreement which none of the nuclear Powers has yet brought to the Point of East West Accord. Is preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. It Ihus appears that the .-red chinese Exchange of state ments on the nuclear weapon Issue is developing on two lev Here said that red China s need to create a propaganda cover for the test explosion in View of criticism Inmany countries against any testing was some also speculated that the chinese reds an interested As these informants said the United states is interested in keeping open the diplomatic Channel of comma Nic Atlon through which ideas about dealing with the nuclear weapons problems can be seriously . Johnson s Call for bed China to sign the test ban treaty was made in Hli to Vised address last Call on the world especially red China to join nations which Nave signed it us said. An editorial in the official peking people s Dally called the treaty nothing but fraud adding How can we to expected to walk into the trap now that repossess the Means to break the nuclear monopoly of the unite states fantastic in t it China is by no Means obsessed by the idea of possess ing nuclear weapons the editorial continued.
