CHINESE SEAT IN ECAFE
Heated Debate At Bangkok Talks
BANGKOK, March 18.
Delegates to the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East conference. which opened at Bangkok today argued for an hour after the chief Russian delegate had called for the admission into the commission of Communist China.
Nationalist China dubbed the proposal, informally proposed by Mr P. A. Maletin, of Russia, as “out of order” and maintained that theirs was the sole legal Government of China.
India, Indonesia and Ceylon backed the Russian proposal, and Japan, South Korea, and South Vietnam spoke against it during an hour’s heated debate.
The new commission president (Mr Rak Panyarachun) ruled that no vote could be taken as no formal.motion had been proposed. Later the commission voted against a Russian motion to include on the agenda a request for membership from the Mongolian People’s Republic.
