February, R
1963
Asian Trip
Kuala Lumpur
Feb. 5 man got nothing in return. His
government were pretty corrupt.
State Dept. people interested at the
time (one a classmate of Dart's
wife) reported the acceptance
of the Communist program. This
is not what we wanted to hear.
These people were labelled as pink
& McCarthy went after them.
Dart's friend lost everything -
career, stature, etc. Many years
later he was able to get his case
before the U.S. Supreme Court and he
was completely exonerated but the
damage had been done. It is
now known these State Dept. people were
right. The State Dept. now may wish
to change its views somewhat but the
U.S. public does. They have been over
sold on the idea of not recognizing
China. Dart feels that despite our
pressure tactics to keep the Chinese
question off the UN agenda that sooner
or later it will come to a vote and
we will lose. If China gets nuclear
power, then why should she join
a nuclear control system?
