Eisenhower Backs Dulles7 Speech
That Blockade of Red China
Would Amount to ‘War Action’
i
WASHINGTON, Wt—President
Eisenhower feels a naval and air
blockade of Red China would
amount to “war action,” the White
House said Tuesday.
The White House view was
stated by James C. Hagerty, press
secretary, shortly after Senator
Knowland of California, the Re
publican leader, had renewed his
call for a blockade in the face of
a pronouncement Monday night
by Secretary of State Dulles.
Dulles, in a major foreign pol
icy speech in Chicago Monday
night, declared that the first duty
of the United States is to “exhaust
peaceful means” to protect the
rights of Americans imprisoned
by Red China, rather than “now
resorting to war action, such as
a ival and air blockade.”
.rgerty was asked by news
men whether Eisenhower agrees
with Dulles that a blockade would
amount to war action.
“Yes,” Hagerty replied, adding
that the President “approved com
pletely” Dulles’ entire speech.
Hagerty said Dulles consulted
with Eisenhower regarding the

speech several times, and that
they conferred as late as Monday
afternoon.
Knowland, who has frequently
differed, with the administration
on policy in the Orient, argued
only a few hours before the Dulles
speech that a blockade would be
the best means to force the Chi
nese Communists to release Am
ericans they hold prisoner.
In Washington, Dulles and
President Eisenhower had up for
early decision the question of
what the United States could
effectively do next to obtain the
release from Chinese Communist
prisons of 13 American citizens
sentenced on what this govern
ment has branded as false spy
charges.
A protest note delivered through
the British government demand
ing freedom for the 13—11 airmen
and 2 Army-employed civilians
captured during the Korean War
—was rejected by Red China on
Sunday.
State Department informants
indicated there was a possibility
this country might ask the Rus
sians to intervene with Commu
nist China in behalf of the prison
ers. But the main American reli
ance was expected to fall on a
campaign to mobilize world opin
ion against the Peiping action.
