BEVIN SAYS:
BETTER TO USHER PEKING REGIME IN
Margate, October 5.
The Foreign Secretary, Mr. Ernest Bevin, said today that it was better to usher Communist China into the comity of nations-the United Nations- than to make her fight her way in.
Applause greeted this remark, made at the Labour Party's annual conferènce which afterwards endorsed his foreign policy by a vote of six to one.
"I have no doubt that if the statesmen of China dʊ not in-. dulge in aggression and upset the show again-if there is a little patience shown and events are handled carefully--- that ere long the new China will find herself associated with the rest of us in trying 10 build a new world," Mr. Beyin declared.
They did not look upon Asto us purely India, Pakistan, Ceylon and Indonesia and the rest, he said.

"These countries, are
like patchwork with different hues of a whole pattern. But Asin as Asio is emerging".
The question was how? Could she be peaceably Jed
without being the victim of revolution and War?
China was a great country, Mr. Bevin continued.
The British Government had taken, the line that she should be incorporated in the United Na- tions and helped to make her contribution. She was part of the great Aslan emergence.
World opinion changing Some did not agree with Bri. tain about China at the begin. ning, but world public opinion was now working round to that
point of view, he declared. On Korea, Mr. Bevin believed the uncation of an indepen- dent Korea with the United Na tions as custodian until the coun- try got on its fect, and with Unit- ed Nations troops available until law and order could be establish- ed.
for the this in the
sion, adding, "1 was sorry India could not quite sponsor all of it". Welcoming the acceptance of Indonesia into the United Nations as an independent country, Mr. Bevin said that Holland had risen to the occasion.
She made the great decision us Britalu made it over India,
Relations with Russia Reviewing the fallure of his efforts to get understanding with Soviet Russin, Mr. Bevin declared, "Russia can sit down at a table with us tomorrow. We will forget the past. But we have a right to be treated as honest people."
The Defence Minister, Mr. Emanuel Shinwell, opened today's debate by introducing a report by the Executive Committee of the Party on the International situn- tion. This asserted that collective security through the United Na- tions was the keystone of the Labour Government's foreign policy, and that in Korea United Nations action had Immensely strengthened its authority and prestige.
The critics
oficial of the
·lendership included Mr. Harold
Davies. Member of Parliament, who moved the rebel resolutions, Mr. Ion Mikardo, Mr. Ronald Chamberlain, Member of Parlin- ment, and Mr. Emrys Hughes, Member of Parliament. Most of them urged that Britain should be less closely Bed to the United States.
In his address Mr. Bovin sajd that from the day he took office until 1947, he had tried to be friends with Russia. Nobody had had more insults from Molotov Calling for support
and Vyshinsky than he had, British initiative on
Why, he asked, had a small United Nations, he challenged his country like Turkey to endure
crities to produce a saner or more just proposal,
He recalled that India had thrown her weight against oggres-
five years of a nerve war?
World struggle prevented
"Is Turkey going to attack Rus- sin? Why has she been compelled
to bear the cost of mobilisation all this time?", Mr. Bovin wanted to know.
there
Why, he continued, was continual conflict in Greece?
He believed that Prealdent Truman had prevented a world struggle in the Middle East. If that conflict had started they might have seen the whole of the Middle East right down to India go:
Turning to Germany, Mr. Bevin recalled the Berlin blockade and sald, "I have not heard one fellow traveller who condemned the efforts to starve 2,500,000 people." Switching to Korea, Mr. Bevin said that the State was created by the Unied Nations and guaranteed by the United Nations.
The tanks the North Koreans used were not made in Korea, They were sent there to wipe out South Korea
the and present United Nations with a fait accom- pli.
At one time there was
a pos- sibility of two struggles going on simultaneously-in Germany and in the Far East, Mr. Bevin went on.
Standing monaca Defending the Government's re-armament policy he asked why had Eastern Germany been grant- ed 100,000 police who were not
police. They could expand to 1,- 000,000 in a night,
The tremendous military power of Russia was a standing menace to the whole of Europe. She had more troops, more tanks, more guns than the whole of the rest of Europe put together, he de- clared.
"Why are they keeping them and why are they going round with peace meetings while they are adding to this tremendous rearmament every week? It is a
fraud. It is an attempt to wear (Continued on col. 4)

It appears, according to the Republicans, that President Tru- mun and his party are all scoun- drels, out to ruin the country and probably in the pay of Russia, and that the Republicans, accord- ing to the Democrats, are a gang of ruthless, unscrupulous bandits or Wall Street's payroll and de- termined to crush the helpless workers.
