INESCAPABLE FACT
Total Victory Of Chinese Communists AMERICAN RECOGNITION NZPA—Copyright Rec. 9.19 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 28. The total victory of the Chinese Communist forces has now been recognised by the United States State Department as an inescapable, if unpleasant fact, and the need for strengthening resistance to further Communist penetration in the rest of South-East Asia is now seen as paramount, says the diplomatic correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. This entirely new American outlook on Far Eastern policy has been adopted within the past week by Mr Dean Acheson, United States Secretary of State, and it has been conveyed to the British Government. British policy on the situation in China was formulated at the British diplomatic and military conference in Singapore early last month. It has now been endorsed by the United States Government, which now attaches the highest importance to the British Commonwealth foreign and economic policy conference in Colombo. Members of the American Diplomatic Corps from all Far Eastern posts are to meet shortly in Bangkok.
