his skin the tone of his voice and the language used by the speaker it might have been Molotov If other details were different the words were those of Molotov so near as to make no difference Main Target Is Clear The United States declared the Chinese spokesman had begun the war in Korea The United States had outlined a program of new aggression in Asia with another military pact The United States had violated the sovereignty of China Formosa and posing the Formosan government as that of China The United States was involved in a vast plot to plunge the people of Asia back into the depths of imperialist slavery from which they had so lately struggled Sn it went on in high thin singsong tones The Chinese said Chou En-Lai had become masters of their fate strong as never before They had thrown off the yoke of imperialist mas ters and would never wear it again Great Russia had come forward as friend The Russian-Chinese pact was one factor for peace and the principles of mutual equality in Asia One American "crime" listed by Chou En-Lai its rpfusal to recognize the Communist Tegime of China he said could be rectified at the Geneva conference Only a Wilderness There was no word or suggestion of any kind in proceedings that at some point divided minds might meet and hammer out a formula that would quiet the fears of disillusioned despairing people everywhere Unless after
