Wishington. July 4.

Mr V. K. Krishna Menon, India's roving ambassador, mid today be thought Japan should become a member of the United Nations and he would support a move to achieve this, Mr Menon was replying to a question after addressing the National Press Club here.

MY Menon said he was very impressed by the expressed desire of the world powers to make further efforts to resolve their difficulties.

He was asked whether he regarded the current Soviet "softness" as genuine, "The main thing to consider is to discover what is genuine and the process of discovery is very important," he replied.

"We have found that it is better to accept 'what people say. If we nuspect every body's motives in the end we spect ourselves."

Replying to other ques- Hons, Mr Menon said:

1. The disposition to the Chinese offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu, now held by the Nationalist forces, must be part of a general overall peace si- ilement in the Far East and must not be solved by war. fle described the Formos% sitaation as difficult and one which could give a great deal of trouble,

2. One should not try to 1sts who was right and who was wrong in the case of the United States airmer imprisoned by China. The problem
