MACARTHUR TO USE EMPIRE FORCES

Peking's attack on United States move

Tokyo, June 29.

Communist China's Foreign Minister, Chou En-

lai, called the Truman statement on For East policy of June 26 "on ormed aggression against Chinese tor- ritory," a Peking broadcast heard here sold.

Chau said the Truman decision to aid South Korea and to use American Navy Forces to prevent a Communist invasion of Taiwan was "on act that com- pletely smashed the United Nations Charter.“

Chou called on all Asiatic peoples to unite against "joreign countrios." Ho specifically named the people of Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan.

Chou alloged that South Korea had attacked North Korea ndding that this was a "premeditated move by the United States designed to create a pretext for the United States to invade Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam and the Philippines.”

Taiwan as part of China was a historical fact apart from having been confirmed by the Cairo and Potsdam declarations. A

"All the people of our country will certainly fight to the end single-mindedly to liberate Taiwan from the . American aggressors," he declared.

He firmly believed that "all oppressed nations and peoples of the East are undoubtedly capable of burying the vicious and hated American Imperialist war makers once and for all in the great flames of the struggle for national independence.”—Associated Press and Reuter.
