Objection To Recognising Red China
Wellington; Mar. 30.
Mr Eric Halstead, New Zealand's Minister of Social Security, today declared that New Zealand's front line was in Malaya but "if we recognise Com- münist China and admit her to the United Nations we will be in danger of losing Malaya."
Speaking in the House of Representatives foreign affairs debate Mr Halstead said that every move and every sign of strength shown by Com- munist China was watched by Asian peoples who reacted accordingly. He added that Asian peoples, encouraged by Communist China, regarded the United Nations as a "gang of weaklings who ought to be despised."
Mr Michael Moohan (Labcur) Philip Connolly, said it was said he disagreed entirely with necessary to do something more the contention that Malaya fer Malaya thank just send affected the peace and security fan armed force there.

Bevan's Position Precarious
BLOW TO GAITSKELL
By Fraser Wighton
London, Mar. 30.
Mr Aneurin Bevan, Socialist leftwinger, accused of flouting Party discipline today escaped expulsion from the Labour Party by promise of future obedience — but was strongly warned by the official leaders that this is his last chance.
The leaders the 28-member National Execu tive Committee-took this decision in private session.
They approved a ɑresolution noting that Mr Bevan had given assurances on his conduct from now on but threatened “drastic » action" against future offences.
Their resolution also declared the Socialist group in Par- liament was "fully justified” in recently bärring the leftwinger ram Its House of Commons organisation.
