But in the background also furks the subject of Com- munist Chinn's admianion to the United Nations and diplomatic recognition of the Peking Government by the United States and other countries. Pressure from Britain for US recognition of Red China is likely to increase if und when the fighting is brought to an end in Korea, Already the Labour Opposition in the House of Commone IN attempting to push the Government into a commit- ment to this end and the jasue must inevitably assume more importance In the future. Far and away the biggest divergenco in foreign policy between the United States and Britain has been on the advisability of establishing diplomatic relations with Peking.

Defending Counsel
SOME HEATED EXCHANGES
Repeating his allegation made at an earlier hearing that the Prosecution against James Joseph Osbourne King, formerly of G. Falconer and Co., Ltd, was a "shocking, shameful misuse of criminal process," and asking the Court to exercise its dis- cretion and "throw the case out," Mr M. A. da Silva, Counsel for King, this morning replied to submission made by the Hon. Leo d'Almada, QC, that Mr Silva's line of cross-examination of Mr W. M. H. Seymour, a director of G. Falconer and
·Co., Ltd, was irrelevant and should be ruled out, when hearing of the case resumed before Mr Poon Yan-hoi at Central Magistracy.
During the course of his submissions, Mr Silva was involved in, several heated exchanges with Mr A. J. Clifford, who is conducting the Prosecution in conjunction with Mr d'Almada, when he alleged that Mr Clifford was interrupting him un- necessarily.
