Received Friday, 10.5 a.m. PARIS, Nov 12. The Soviet'did not desire pe^ce, Dr. Tsiang (China) told the Unitea Nations political eommittee, which is considering the Soyiet proposal for a one-third reduction in thq armaments of the Big Powers. # "In China we are not only fighting the Communists, but also against the Japanese who became Russian prisoners. At least 13,000 such Japanese are doing technical work in Manchuria. We cannot have peace when one country em-» ploys a fifth column against an,other. The Chinese will, therefore, submit concrete proposals for dis^ armament of fifth columns throughout the world." Mr. Vyshinsky (Russia) repeated his allegations that the United States and Britian were conducting 1 an "unbridled armaments race." j He accused Dr. Tsiang of going be- , yond the framework of dignified ! discussion. Mr. Vyshinsky claimed that even I if the Chinese armies, f ar from dis- ■ arming, increased their armaments I by onc-third or two-thirds, there | would be no change in the Chinese ; vvar fronts. "The Chinese ComI munists will win regardless of this," he added.
