China: Rejection Unscrupulous!

London, Sept. 22. Communist China's official news agency Hsin Hun today accused President Eisenhower of having "disregarded all international courtesy by resorting to the unscrupulous act”_of_rejecting Mr Khrushchev's latest letter on the Far East crisia, It started its report of the move with the words: "The exasperated U.S. President Eisenhower yesterday flagrantly. rejected... Khrushchev's message," and said Mr Eisenhower was "obviously unable to ex- plain away the facts and truth stated in Khrush chev's letter."

Abuse And Slanders said twe White House statements on the Khrushchev letter "contained nothing but abuse and slanders," and accused Mr Eisenhower of “indulging in vitupera- tive words" and of making “a new slanderous attack.” Hsin Hua described the White House remark that it was not easy to carry on the Sino-American talks at Warsaw under such threats as the Soviet Union was making as being itself a threat.—Reuter.

America To Rally

Public Opinion

By STEWART HENSLEY

Washington, Sept. 21. The United States is inten- sifying its efforts to rally public opinion at home and abroad behind the U.S. policy of no retreat in the Formosa crisis, high U.S. officials said tonight,

They said the effort stemmed to a considerable extent from the feeling of President Eisch- hower and Secretary of State John Foster Duties that the basle principles upon which this country has taken ite stand pre not fully undermood either here or abroad.

Amplification

Mr Dulles will take advant age of his appearance on Thurs- day night before the Far East Caurell on Commerce and In- dustry in New York to make a major slatemont on the Far East problem, including Formats and

mbattled Quemos island.

Omcials said a principal effect of the amplißeation of American policy would be to pave the way for an almost inevitable U.S. plea to the United Nations to call for a ceasefire in the Quemoy arca.

The US, also wis expected to seek UN. condemnation of the use of force by the Chinese Com- munists, who have been shelling the Nationalist-held isband just off the China Coast for four weaks.

Recognition

The United States in the I past has emphasised that the question of recognition of Com- munist China is not involved. In the current Quemoy crisis, which Mr Eisenhower and Mr Dulles envisage as representing a simple principle of resisting avowed aggression by the Com- muniste.

They believe that even those "neutralist** and alles who disagree with continued · Ameri- can support of Chiang should be willing to condemn the Communists' use of force to try to make the offshore lalands.

Diplomatic sources speculated that the new policy statement promised by Mr Hagerty would try to put forward this point more forcibly. With respect to Mr Hagerty's promises of recommendations
