MR. WU SAYS CHINESE CEASE-FIRE EFFORT WAS “TRICKERY”
NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (Recd. 8 pm). Mr Wu Hsiuchuan (Communist China) today criticised the United Nations ceasefire efforts as “trickery and a plot,” in a farewell statement before Communist China’s delegation left by air for home. “We believe that only by striving for the cessation of war may obtain a real ceasefire,” he said. “Any device which reverses this process is nothing but trickery and a plot. Although our peace proposal to stop the war was rejected by Anglo-American ruling circles, without due consideration, we are not in despair. We shall continue to strive for peace.” Mr Wu was referring to the defeat in the Security Council of a Sovietbacked proposal calling for the United States to halt “aggression” against Formosa and China, and withdrawal of all foreign troops from Korea.
