'EDNESDAY. MAY 18. 1955 Chou Vetoes Talks On Formosa Issue TOKYO, .Wednesday, May 18 (/P)—Premier Chou En-lai of Red China has ruled out Formosan cease-fire negotiations with the United States and has implied he will talk only about withdrawing U.S.. forces guarding Formosa. “There is no War between China and the United States and so the question of the so-called cease-fire does not arise,” he told the Standing Committee of the National People s Congress in Peiping last Friday. The speech was broadcast only yesterday by Peiping radio. On Formosa, Nationalist spokes men declared Chou’s aim was to drive the United States from the Western Pacific. Chou’s implied intent to limit any negotiations to the withdraw al of U.S. forces from Formosa came in this oassage: Creates Tension "The United States’ occupation of Taiwan (Formosa) has created tension in the Taiwan area and this constitutes an international issue between China and the United States. "The Chinese people do not want to have a war with the Uni ted States. To ease tension in the Taiwan area, the Chinese govern ment is willing to sit down and enter into negotiations with the United States government.” Chou was making his report to the committee on the Asian-Afri can conference at Bandung. Indo nesia. It was at Bandung that Chou on April 23 first offered to negotiate with the United States to “relax tension” in the area of Formosa. ‘ U.S. Favors Meeting Four days later, President Eis enhower told a news conference ’in Washington the United States would be glad to meet with the Chinese Communists about a cease-fire. Chou restated ip Peiping the Chinese Communist clain) to For mosa and said that its “libera tion” was a “domestic affair.” “The Chinese people have twc possible means to liberate Tai wan,” Chou told the committee “namely, by war or by peaceful means; The Chinese .Deople are willing to strive for the libera tion of Ta'wan by peaceful mean'' so far as it is possible.” Fators Conference Chovi said Red China favored | bringing the Formosa question be fore a 10-power conference as proposed by Russia Feb. 12. The nations would be the United States,- Red China, Britain, Rus sia, France,-.lndia, Burma, Indo nesia, Pakistan and Ceylon. 1 Chou added, however, that the Chinese government “is also will ing to consider other forms.” Chou reiterated his statement at Bandung that “no negotiations should in the slightest decree af fect the Chinese people’s exer cise of, their own soverign rights, their just demand and action tc liberate Taiwan ” U.S. Invites Red Farmers To lowa .MOSCOW, May 17 (/P) The United States today formally in vited a delegation of Soviet farm experts to America this summer to learn how lowa farmers raise corn and hogs. There is no doubt the Russians Will accept. . U.S. Charge d’Affaires Walter Walmsley delivered a note to the Foreign Ministry suggesting that about 10 Soviet farmers reach lowa July 10 for a month’s stay. The lowa sun is hot then and both corn and pigs should be growing lustily. The note, also released in Washington, said the U.S. De partment of Agriculture would have over-all responsibility for the Russians, lowa State College would arrange their program, and the University of Minnesota would take charge when they visit other areas, unspecified. The note said some American farm experts would pay a return visit to Russia. It asked how many should go and when. In compliance with Soviet re quests when the exchange visits were first discussed, the Russian delegation would have official status so the members could avoid such US. immigration for malities as finger-printing, which the Russians say- is obnoxious. But the American farmers going to Russia would be unofficial vis itors. . The note gave the. Des Moines Register full credit for originat ing the idea. An editorial in the Register last Feb. 10 suggested the visit by the Russian farmers. It “was written after Soviet Communist party chief Nikita S. Khrushchev urged Russian farmers to copy Ameri can ' methods, particularly the planting of more corn f6r live stock feed, gs a means of boosting Soviet farm output.

DtilSes Reports— (Continued from page one) Dulles then began' his talk, say ing recent events “may really mark a turning in the tide of his tory." He saw a symbolic significance in the fact that “F” and “G”— France and Germany—sat' to gether alphabetically and other wise in recent Paris talks. In recent years, he said, West ern civilization “had glmost com mitted suicide,” but now it has a new lease on life—a strength and vigor that would rebound to the benefit of all humanity.
