Yes for Chiang

It was a bit frustrating. Here was the President of the U.S. with a statement he wanted to make--but nobody at his news conference last fortnight asked him the right question. So into a White House file went the statement until Press Secretary Pierre Salinger was asked, dug it out last week and released it to newsmen. It was a Kennedy announcement avowing firm support of Nationalist China and flat opposition to U.N. membership for Red China. Said the statement: "The United States has always considered the Government of the Republic of China the only rightful government representing China, and has always given full support to the position and to all the rights of that government in the United Nations. Therefore the United States firmly opposes the entry of the Chinese Communists into the United Nations or into any of the components of the United Nations."
