Extract

If the current U. S. desire to conclude a nuclear nonproliferation treaty with the Soviets raises some difficult questions with respect to future U. S. relationships with its allies (principally the Indians, Japanese, and Germans), it raises even more troublesome questions in connection with what many would regard as a highly desirable new objective of U. S. foreign policy. I would think it could be accepted as a verifiable fact that many of those who favor the nonproliferation treaty also favor, with equal or nearly equal vehemence, the “normalization” of relations between the U. S. and China. As this is written, the most recent expression of such a viewpoint is the proposal for a new “Two China” policy which could become the basis for the entry of China into the United Nations.
