"The one thing that would bring
the deepest sigh of relief in the
world would be the containment
of U.S. expansionism without
this country also returning to its
isolationisnmof the 1930's."
These are the words of the
noted China scholar Prof. Owen
Leds who spoke Sundayrs after
noon to a crowd of 2500 in Hill
4Auditorium attending the Emer-
gency Conference on China.
Speaking in addition to Latti-
more were Felix Greene, British
author and producer of the film
"China"; anthropologist Morton
Freid of Columbia University, and
Alexander Eckstein of the Univer-
* sity economics department, a
leading authority on the Chinese
economy.
Later iii the evening there was
another round of addresses, a de-
bate on U.S.-China relations fea-
turing Prof. A. F. K. Organski of
th~e political science department,
* and a round of late evening semi-
nars.
The conference generally main-
tained an educaitional atmosphere,
although in the evening seminars
a heated exchange between Or-

ganski and Prof. Thomas Mayer is, we have it to grant, and China

Greene, in his afternoon ad-
dress, described China as a "con-
fident people." who have made a
remarkable recovery from the war-
fare of the 1940's and the dis-
astrous attempt at economic
growth of the Great Leap Forward.
He said China's primary inter-
est lies in the Viet Nam war, whose
outcome is crucial toatboth China
and te Uied Saes because
of its effects on the world posi-
tion of both countries.
China, he said, would enter the
war as a result of any of these
three developments: American
bombing of any Chinese cities, in-
dications that Hanoi was losing
the war, or U.S. invasion of North
Viet Nam.
Lattimore, who was attacked by
the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy,
who called him a leading Commu-
nist, criticized the "condescending,
arrogant" attitude the U.S. has
regarding the recognition of Chi-
na.
"There seems to be a feeling in
this country that recognition of
China is a one-way street. That

The evening part of the confer-
ence featured speeches by Fried
and Lattimore on China's rela-
tions to the U.S. and American
policy in Asia.
Fried declared, in his address
that "whether our military men
admit it ornt, it s cii a
going on in Viet Nam, an ntil
they are willing to admit it, there
will be no end."
Fried said "the entire concept of
containment is a myth," because
what the U.S. is trying to con-
tain in Viet Nam is a "system of
ideas-the least containable part
of a culture." "Certainly the use
of military force'to prevent the
spread of ideas is ridiculous."
"The first way to end the war
is to recognize it as a revolution
and take it over." He advocated
stopping the bombing of North
Viet Nam and taking the troops
out of the south. Ideally, the Unit-
ed Nations could be called in to
handle the situation.
"Our present policy toward Chi-
na plays into her hands," he said.

According to Lattimore the bus-

China, but the recognition of
China is your business."
"We talk about this business of
recognizing China as if it was a
unilateral decision for the United
States to make, But how do we

attacked United States policies toward China and in South Viet
Nani. He scored America's "arrogant, condescending" attitude
that its recognition of China is a gift to be given out at its
pleasure. Felix Greene, speaking in the afternoon, said that signs
that Hanoi is losing or American escalation of the war-bombing
China or sending troops into North Viet Na n-would cause
China to enter the war. Morton Fried, of Columbia, also assailed
U.S. policy in Asia.

Lattimore thought for a mo-
ment and said, ''No as a matter of
fact I think that if the United
States had had as much economic
interest in China as Britain did
in 1949, we might well have recog-
nized China."
Lattimore spoke authoritatively,
as one might expect of a man who

recognzng~1ll naIIL, a more ex-
plained. As a result he put the
conference off the record to go
around the room to ask how each
participant felt about recognizing
China.
A representative of the Ameri-
can Foreign Power Co., which had
utility interests in China, said he
favored recognition. The chair-
man said that he would be grate-
ful if the businessman would help
to publicize that position.
