CONFERENCE TO BE CALLED
SOUTH-WEST PACIFIC NATIONS FILIPINO PRESIDENT’S PLAN (N.Z.P. A—Copyright) MANILA, Jan. 3. President Quirino plans to call a conference of south-west Pacific nations soon after he returns from the United States late in January, informed sources said today. They added that ho disclosed this to General Wu Teh Chen, the Chinese Nationalist Minister without portfolio.
Observers place emphasis on President Quirino’s use of South-west Pacific rather than South-east Asia which he used last spring in proposing an anti-Communist Union. Sources in Manila said that the South-west Pacific group might, include Malaya, Indonesia, Indo-China, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. President Quirino is said also to have pTomised Wu that the Philippines would give moral support to the Nationalists on Formosa. This is taken as implying non-Philippine recognition of Red China.
