Decision Is With Red China
LONDON, December 10 (Rec. 1 p.m.).—“The outstanding lesson of the Truman-Attlee meeting is that the decision of peace or wider war in the Far East does not rest merely with them,” says The Times in an editorial. “It rests with the Chinese Government. Peace is only possible, whatever the prudence of the Western Powers, if the Chinese desire it.
“Not to become enmeshed in a full-scale war with China is the common desire of all the Western Powers. With their largest danger always in Europe, this desire is also their deepest interest.
“Whether desire and interest can be satisfied turns, however, not only on their own good sense and restraint, which are obligatory, but on the riddle of Chinese intentions.”
