And this possibility, I believe, is rooted, not in the issues themselves, but in a general public attitude full of danger for our China policy.\nI refer here to the fact that the attitudes of both the public and Congress are far more anti-Chinese Communist than they are pro-Free China. The public insists that Communist China is not worthy of admission to even such an utterly non-homogeneous community of nations as we have today. But we hold far less emphatic attitudes on Free China.\n. . .\nThe danger of such an inadequately informed opinion is clear. If our China policy remains rooted more in fear of Communist China than in support of Free China, we are far more likely to be susceptible to Communist blackmail and intimidation than to be aware of the vital need for cooperation with our allies, the Free Chinese.",
