2. IN AN ADDRESS TO A WORLD FREEDOM DAY RALLY ON JANUARY 23,
REPORTEDLY ATTENDED BY 3000 GROC OFFICIALS, CIVIC LEADERS,
MEMBERS OF THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS, AND FOREIGN DELEGATES, ROC
PRESIDENT YEN CHIA-KAN SAID THAT THE FALL OF INDOCHINA "PROVES
THAT ILLUSIONS OF DETENTE AND APEASEMENT CAN NEVER IMPROVE
THE WORLD SITUATION...(BUT) WILL ENCOURAGE THE COMMUNISTS AND
MAKE NEW CATASTROPHES INEVITABLE....COMMUNISM ON THE CHINESE
MAINLAND IS THE ROOT SOURCE OF WORLD TURMOIL....WE MUST RESTORE
THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF THE 700 MILLION MAINLAND PEOPLE, EXTINGUISH
THE RULE OF FORCE AND ERADICATE COMMUNISM FROM THE CHINESE
MAINLAND BEFORE WE CAN ENSURE THE FREEDOM AND PEACE OF
ASIA. UNFORTUNATELY, SOME DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES STILL LACK
AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS REQUIRED. THEIR POLICIES AND
ACTIONS DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO ASIAN SECURITY...(BUT) HAVE
ABETTED COMMUNIST INFILTRATION AND SUBVERSION AND ADDED
TO WORLD TURMOIL."

3. CONGRESSMAN MCDONALD, IN ONE OF SEVERAL SPEECHES HE
MADE DURING HIS VISIT, REPORTEDLY SAID THAT "NO MENTION CAN
SET A POLICY OF LONG-TERM COMPROMISE AND SURVIVE....THE
CLEAR MAJORITY OF THE US CONGRESS IS ON PUBLIC RECORD AS
BEING IN FULL SUPPORT OF AMERICA'S HISTORIC AND CONTINUED
SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE OF FREE CHINA AND THE GROC. THE
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE US AGREE WITH
YOU AND ARE AGAINST COMPROMISE WITH COMMUNISM."

4. IN ANOTHER SPEECH MCDONALD REPORTEDLY SAID THAT "THE
PEOPLE OF THE US DO NOT FOLLOW THE LOGIC OF CERTAIN PLANNERS
WHO SEE VALUE IN THE POLICY OF DETENTE, THE ROAD TO DESTRUCT-
ION AND ENSLAVEMENT...THE DETENTE POLICY HAS COME TO THE
MAINLAND....US TROOPS WERE WITHDRAWN FROM TAIWAN, AND THE
GROUND WAS LAID FOR DIPLOMATIC RECOGINTION OF THE GREATEST
MASS MURDERERS IN HUMAN HISTORY."

5. A DECLARATION ADOPTED AT THE JANUARY 23 RALLY INTER
ALIA A) REITERATED OPPOSITION TO "THE MISTAKEN POLICY" OF
DETENTE WITH THE COMMUNISTS; B) URGED THE US TO RESPECT THE
RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF THE ROC AND THE DESIRES OF THE

CHINESE PEOPLE TO RECTIFY THE "CONTRADICTORY IDEA" IN THE
PACIFIC DOCTRINE, WHICH "JEOPARDIZES" US FRIENDLY RELATIONS
WITH THE ROC: AND C) CALLED ON THE US TO TAKE STEPS TO
BUILD AND ENHANCE AN ASIAN-PACIFIC ISLAND CHAIN OF DEFENSE.

6. COMMENT: WITH REGARD TO THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE WORLD
FREEDOM DAY ACTIVITIES, THE EMBASSY OFFERS ITS OWN CHOICE
QUOTATION FROM THE WORLD OF ALICE: "IF EVERYBODY MINDED THEIR
OWN BUSINESS," THE DUCHESS SAID IN A HOARSE GROWL, "THE WORLD
WOULD GO ROUND A DEAL FASTER THAN IT DOES." POPPLE
