He Likens Them To Formosa

Washington, Oct. 27.

The Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' inclusion of Na- tionalist China among those divided countries which have renounced the use of force to achieve unity could again arouse the ire of the West German Government, inform- ed sources said today.

U.S. officials hope it won't. They are aware that Bonn is very sensitive to comparisons between the German situation and that of Formosa. The German government last month lodged a strong protest with the State Department against linking the position of Berlin to that of Quemoy and Matsu.
