Nationalists Foresee S-Red China War
(AP)—Na: :
TAIPEI. Formosa tionalist Chinese military and political leaders believe the Vietnamese conflict eventually will lead to war between the United States and Communist China.
In this case. they say Nation- alist China will provide ground forces for the U.S.
The officials, who ask anony- mity, say, they base their .opin- ion on ¢ following assump- tions:
—The United States has now
realized that a negotiated
peace in Viet Nam will only mean fresh Communist ac- gression against Thailand or
Malaysia. This leaves the
United States no alternative
but to expand the war until
China steps in.
—The United States has com-

ity over any other country in the world but air strikes and naval bombardment alone can never occupy a city or area. ~ American public opinion. is,

position Leader Diefenbaker Sat- urday accused the Liberal gov- ernment of blundering, attempt- ing to divide Canada, and sad- dling Canadians with unneces- Sary taxes.
Mr. Pearson had a. “case of selective amnesia” when he toid Parliament he had not known of the investigation that led to the Dorion inquiry until Nov. 23, then in a letter to the inquiry said he had {first been informed in September.
The prime minister finally got his flag through closure, begin- ning disintegration of relations with the Commonwealth. fhe next step of the Liberal party, he said, would be to take Can- ada out of the Commonweaith and make it a _ republic.
