GENERAL
1. Views on admission of Chinese Communists to UN-The
US Delegation to the UN has expressed its belief that In
view of the basic US policy to preserve the peace through
collective action in the UN, it Is to the interest of the US
that the USSR resume participation in the UN as early as
possible. The US Delegation also believes that: (a) the
trend of developments may inevitably transform what is
probably intended as a temporary Soviet withdrawal into
a permanent one; and (b) the issue of Chinese Communist
representation in the UN is not necessarily "a favorable
one" on which to risk Soviet withdrawal. The Delegation
concludes that in the absence of countervailing considerations,
the US should cease discouraging other UN members either
from recognizing the Chinese Communists or from voting
against seating the Chinese Communist representatives in
the UN.
(CIA Comment.- CIA believes that early seating of
the Chinese Communist delegation by the UN would bring
about the termination of the Soviet walkout.)
2& French reaction to Soviet recognition of Ho Chi Minh-
US Ambassador Bruce in Paris expresses the view that
Soviet recognition of Ho Chi Minh, with its implicit attack
on "the integrity of the French Union," will: (a) induce
a violent reaction in France; (b) sharpen French non-Com-
munist opposition to the Communists, (c) strengthen the
will of the people and Government to resist and contain
Communist pressure; and (d) by quickening national pride
in France, increase popular support for a more cohesive
and determined policy toward the USSR, Pointing out that
the US may soon be faced in Indochina with a situation

similar to that formerly prevailing in Greece, Bruce re-
commends that the US: (a) stigmatize the Soviet action as
a breach of the principles of international relations and a
threat to world peace; (b) recognize Bao Dai immediately
after French ratification of the Bao Dai accords; and
(c) announce and extend at once any military or economic
aid to Bao Dai which the US may contemplate.
(CIA Comment: CIA believes that the French Gov-
ernment's policy in Indochina will now gain considerable
political and popular adherence in France among all non-
Communist elements, including the Socialist Party.)
