The United States voted in favour of the invitation, Nationalist China opposed it and the Soviet Union abstained. US Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., said that his vote "has no hearing whatever to the question of our opposition to the representation of China by the Chinese Communists in the UN or any body thereof."
"Nor does support for this motion imply any change in our estab- fished attitude against recognition of the Chinese Communist regime," he said.
