The Argentine Ambassador made a protocol call. He was interested in Taiwan’s economic development but reluctant to talk about his country.
Showed the draft speech to Kiang Yi-seng 【江易生] yesterday. This morning, he came back with some very thoughtful suggestions. For one thing, patriots may not like my “Chinese imperialist tradition;” it was better to qualify my discussion of Tibet and the border disputes between the Reds and India. Secondly, he thought I had better not say that Taiwan would accept mainland people’s acquiescence in Communism.
Afternoon, played golf with Don 【蔣居仁] in Rock Creek Park. The course is very hilly. While the distances are short—no par 5 holes, mainly par 4 holes below 350 yards—some of the fairways are canons 【canyons] between tall trees.
