Seat For China Still Unlikely
IN.Z. Press Association —Copyright) NEW YORK, November 24. The debate on who should have the China seat in the United Nations will reach the half-way point today with the Western nations split three ways over how to break the 16-year-old stalemate.
The only point which seems clear at present is that Peking will not be seated this year.
The United States has made plain its determination to block Peking, but it has agreed to an Italian proposal to set up a U.N. study group to seek some future solution. Britain and France gave the Italian plan a chilly reception, saying it did not comply with their desire to see Peking seated in the U.N. without further ado.
Canada, originally considered the creator of the study group idea, opposed it yesterday and informally broached a plan of its own to seat both China and Formosa in the General Assembly and give the mainland the permanent seat on the Security Council.
Many member states, uneasy over the continuing deadlock, have been leaning more and more towards a twoChina policy.
