China and the U.S. view each other as enemy, while each view contains some segments of truth, both propaganda pictures are wide of the mark to an extent that would be ludicrous. There is, in short, no evidence that China would welcome an immediate confrontation with the U.S., and much evidence that China will do everything possible to avoid such a conflict. In addition to that, the article presents various other information.

The article discusses the U.S. secretary of state John Foster Dulles' reports on Asia. He made a journey through Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific. That the Secretary's journey was worthwhile is beyond question. Its success, however, turns on the policy that Dulles has brought back from Asia. It amounts substantially to the assurance that the U.S., with some aid from Asia, will turn back with nuclear weapons the military challenge of communist China. In Dulles' view, all Asian countries want to preserve their freedom and independence. In those lands, two other objectives are at least important, namely, to be free of Western domination and to keep out of a third world war.

This article focuses on the issues related to war against China. In the instant at which aggression strikes, the policies of any nation may move out of control. The swiftness with which control is restored is a test for any democracy. In defining the United States' actions and its aims in Korea and Formosa, they have not yet met that test. Within the United States government, and between the United States and the United Nations, there is no political direction of the military efforts. A war between China and the United States could force India into the Communist camp; break up the growing unity of the Western nations; rend apart the United Nations; and lead to a general revolt against the West throughout Asia.
