NEXT FEW WEEKS ARE VITAL FOR CHINA'S POSITION IN WORLD
London, September 26.
The events of the next few wooks are likely to have a decisivo influenco on China's position in world affairs, it is believed in diplomatic quar- tors horo. China, after Mao Tse-tung came to power in Peking last year, has seemed to the non-Communist world to retire into traditional isolation. True, this isolation has not entirely been of the Chinese Government's choos- ing.
Some Governments, notably that of the United States of America, have so far not attempted to enter into diplomatic relations with the now rogimo. Britain's attempt has not prosporad.
Indonesian application to UN
Flushing, September 25, When the Security Council meets tomorrow, the Indian re- presentative, Sir Benegal Nars- ing Rau, will move that Indo- nesia's application for member slip be placed at the head el the provisional agenda.
A spokesman for the Indian deleguiton said that as the agenda for tomorrow's Council meeting was already lawn, no formal re- quest for priority for the Indo- nestan application had been sent JEL.
The matter
would be raised when the agenda was discussed.
India would also ask the Coun-. eit to make a favourable recom- mendation directly to the General Assembly, instead of sending the application to the Indonesian Membership Committee.
In view of the general desire that Indonesia should take part in Far the lipportant debates où Eastern questions soon to corne up before the General Assembly, observers confidently expeeterl the Indian request to meet no op- position.
The Indonesian application was submitted by Dr. Lambertus N. Parlar, head of the Indonesian Observers' Mission at United No- tlons headquarters, to Mr. Trygve Lie, a few minutes before the General Assembly met this morn- Ing.-Reuter.
RUSSIANS SEIZE
It is true, too, that it is not by the wish of the Chinese Government that a delegation from Peking has not yet been received into the United Na- tions Organisation.
For and reason
or
another, however, it is a fact that the Chinese Government now in power in Peking has not taken its place in the councils of the nations.
in the
meantime, the new China's precise relationship to the Soviet Government has continued
puzzle the tu
non-Communist world.
There are still, as there were a year ago, two schools of thought. One expects that China, by re- son of its immense size and vast population and because is Gov- eriment came to power through with little its own efforts and Russian old, will be able to pur- sue un independent foreign polley. this school of According to thought, there is small danger that the new China will degene-. rate into the position of a Russian satellite state.
British attitude
The other school of thought takes li for granted that an or- thudox Communist Government in Chiun not only will. bul will wish to, pursue a foreign policy at all points strictly in line with the Kremlin.
Obviously, there is no chance of seeing how closely Soviet and Chinese foreign pelley is until in JBBLе coordinated
arlaes over which their interests clash. But it looks now as if some light may be shed by the Interplay of the situations In Korea and in the United Na. tions in the next few weeks.
It is now no secret in London that Mr. Ernest Bevin, the Forelin Secretary, will work for the ad- mission of the Chinese Govern- ment to the United Nations dur- ng the series of Foreign Minis- lers conferences being held in New York this month.
Mr. Bevin is understood to have salled for New York with solid

Fair chance
Even in view of the American reluctance so far to admit repre- sentatives of Communist China to the United Nations, observers in London consider that there is a fair chance that Chinese repre- sentation will be changed during the autumn.
But this view is based on the
that the assumption

It is clear that if, in the next few weeks, the Chinese Govern- ment decided to intervene active. ly in Karen on the side of the North Koreans and against the forces which have official United Nations backing, it would become exceedingly difficult for Britain to support a change in Chinese representation at Lake Success.

The United Nations is in no way committed to the support of the Nationalist regime In For- mosu.
In fact, any Chinese Govern- ment invasion of Formosa, in any case while the Korean campaign

come up against President Truman's de- cislon neutralise the Island with the aid of the United States Seventh Fleet.
Need for peace
There is no lack of experts of Bino Soviet affairs to tell us that China's main nead today is peace in which to reconstruct a now society after some 20 years of Intermittent warfare. Consequently, they argue, if the new China embarked on any sari of military adventure, even to re- cover the lost province of For- mose, it would be at Soviet in- stigation.
Such a move, it is claimed, would be against the real in terests of China today and would indicate very strongly that the Government of Mao Tse-tung is, after all, not in a position to inaintain an independent role in international politics.
Such diagnosis may well prove to be much too simple in a situation where so many of the bargaining counters remain con- ceated. There is no doubt that the issues must be clear in Peking, where alone the strength of the pressures and counter-attractions can be assessed.
Reports of troop movements
There is no means of knowing clsewhere, and at this stage, whether there is any serious danger of Chine being involved in
.e Korean Jghting.
Reports of Chinese armies con- centrating on the Chinese-Korean
fronter remain unconfirmed even though they are said to be taken seriously in Washington.
The most "that" can "be "sald ́de- finitely is that if the Chinesc Government continues to steer élear of military complications in the Far East, whatever it may say in its propaganda, the chances of admission to the United Nations during the afth session of the Nations Assembly are United
quite considerable."
These chances would be very considerably diminished, in the opinion of observers here, if the Peking Government became in- volved in the Korean fighting or felt impelled to set out to conquer Formosa in the next few weeks.- Reuter.
