Peking Says "No"
To India's
Truce Proposals
VYSHINSKY'S DISCLOSURE TO UNITED NATIONS
UNITED NATIONS, NOV. 26. COMMUNIST CHINA HAS REJECTED THE INDIAN RESOLUTION AIMED AT BREAKING THE DEADLOCK ON THE KOREAN PRISONER OF WAR ISSUE.
Mr Andrei Vyshinsky, Soviet Foreign Minister, broke the news of the Peking Government's unfavourable reaction to the 60-nation Political Committee today after this body had decided by 49 votes to 5, with one abstention, to give the Indian proposal priority of discussion.
дя
Mr Vyshinsky said China's negative reply was given on November 24.
“Perhaps the Indian delegation here does not know this because the answer was given only 48 hours ago and it may not have reached them,” he added.
Mr Vyshinsky's was the first official announcement to be made publicly of the Chinese views on the Indian resolution. The Soviet- Foreign Minister had himself rejected the Indian plan on Monday.
After the adjournment of the Political Committee, the Indian dele- gation said in a statement: "Nothing has happened to make us give up our efforts, but on the other hand to intensify them.
"Regarding the Chinese objections to our proposals, we are con- tinuing our communications and our contacts with them.”

The Prime Minister, Mr Winston Churchill, and the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, Mr R. A. Butler, are both expected to go to the United States early next year to map plans for the free world's future with the now Republican administra- tion.
It was leamed authoritative- ly that Mr Butler, the man responsible for Britain's econo- mic futuro, is looking forwarth to a trip for direct talks with American leaders once the Re- publican administration is firm- ly in pla
