Called on Ambassador of Costa Rica. He gave me a lecture, very optimistic, of the results of Punta del Este. I gave him a lecture on economic conditions on the mainland and in Taiwan, for contrast.
Called on Ambassador of Paraguay, strictly protocol, being limited by language barrier.
Read over testimony of Beam【1】 before a senate committee. Several statements he made concern us. (1) A disarmament agreement must include all militarily significant states, including of course Peiping. The definition of “militarily significant” may not be easy: Cuba is militarily significant to the Caribbean states, but indirectly to the world. How about West Germany and East Germany, North and South Korea, North and South Vietnam. (2) A test ban treaty must include the Reds, otherwise they may test or they may allow the U.S.S.R. to test on Chinese grounds. Could the U.S.S.R. persuade Peiping to desist? Probably.
The U.S.A. seems to be too concerned about nuclear bombs of the Reds. The leftists are trying to smuggle the Chinese Reds into the U.N. and international stage by way of disarmament.
The Belgian Ambassador returned my call.
Received, informally, reporters in Washington. Chatted off record on a number of topics.
