However, he added:-

"With the ample proofs of under- ground subversive Communist propa- ganda carried on in the past, and planned for the future, China cannot prssibly agree to return to the status que as a preliminary to the opening of negotiations, knowing that the re- turn of the Soviet consular officials and their proteges would unfailingly result in more intensive Communist propaganda, unless ample guarantees are forthcoming that such a subver- SUNNON sion will terminate."
