Opposing China In U.N.

(N.Z.P.A -Reuter—Copyright) NEW YORK, October 12. Two African nations—Gabon and Niger—yesterday opposed the recognition of Peking in the United Nations.

They are among the first of the African delegations to speak in favour of Nationalist China, which at present occupies the Chinese United Nations seat. Recent Positions

Mr Jean Engone, Foreign Minister of Gabon, said the “recent positions taken by the

leaders of Peking are not encouraging for those who, for different reasons, want to see the People’s Republic of China admitted to the U.N.” Mr Adamou Mayaki, Foreign Minister of Niger, said that as long as China continued to ignore the elementary rules of peaceful coexistence, his country would not be able to subscribe to its admission into the world organisation.

Mr Mayaki accused the Peking Government of supplying weapons to insurgents, teaching the arts of subversion and interfering in internal affairs of other states. “It is not with these practices that one shows allegiance to the United Nations or deserves to be a member,” he said.

In Moscow, the Government newspaper, “Izvestia,” said yesterday that China wanted to foment world revolution before building communism at home. “Izvestia” quoted the

Peking “People’s Daily,” organ of the Chinese Communist Party, as saying: “It is possible to carry out communism in China completely only after the victory of proletarian revolution throughout the entire world.”
