U.S. AND CHINA
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 The United States and China are at present on a collision course which can only result in war, a former member of the American Government
said in Washington. Professor Roger Hilsman. former assistant secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs, and Chief of the State Department intelligence and research office, said that if the two countries pursued their present policies, the question was only when and in what form this war would erupt. It could be a nuclear struggle in about 15 to 20 years. It could be a “bloody, hand-to-hand struggle against the mass of Chinese manpower” in the limited arena of South-east Asia within the next year or two, or it could be a conventional war in a wider area and on a larger scale.
