The Freedom Movement had its glorious birth 18 years ago when 22,000 Chinese and Korean Communist prisoners of war repudiated Communism on the battlefield of Korea and then, with the righteous support of the United Nations for expression of their free will, went on to win freedom. As World Freedom Day dawns this year, the United Nations has destroyed its own Charter and position by admit ting to membership a Chinese Communist regime which fought the U.N. during the Korean War and thereupon was declared an aggressor by the international organization. Recollection of these historical facts adds to the epoch significance of World Freedom Day this year.
The United Nations has ignored righteousness and justice and has bowed to evil and submitted to violence. Consequently, in the international scene there is no distinguishing between right and wrong or between good and bad; and the free world is so confused that friend cannot be identified from foe and advantage cannot be differentiated from disadvantage. In this critical situation, the evil fires of international Communism have been abetted in their spreading of "world revolution." Ours is the solemn responsibility of safeguarding human rights. We must therefore awaken all the freedom-loving peoples of the world and see that they really know the Communists, and especially the instinctual viciousness and atrocity-committing cruelty of the Maoists, so that no one may be deceived by their propaganda trickery of twisting wrong to look like right, disguising enemy as friend and presenting black as white. We appeal to the free nations to unite in a common struggle and not be entrapped by the Maoists' deceitful diplomacy and smiling offensive so as to be led to destruction one after another. This is a top priority and highly important undertaking in our efforts to safeguard human freedom and international righteousness.
The greater the violence of the evil force of Communism the higher will be the alertness of the democratic nations. The heavier the yoke of slavery, the stronger will be anti-Communist resistance and struggle. In the situation of today, we can see that although the Chinese Communists have usurped our nominal position in the United Nations, they have exposed the ferocity of their true selves and thus have heightened the watchfulness of the free nations. Internally, the Chinese Communists still have no way of averting their crisis of power struggle. As a result, the people are resorting to increasingly wide-spread and ever-stronger movements of anti-Communist uprising.
Although we of the Republic of China have withdrawn from the United Nations, we still uphold the spirit of the Charter, just as we did in helping to establish the U.N.. and adhere to the sacred principle of never compromising with evil. So it is that we are persevering and unyielding in our endeavors on behalf of human freedom and international righteousness. We are dedicated to an alliance of all the people of the world who are determined to maintain justice despite contrary pressures together with the silent majority of righteousness. We shall unite, too, with the enslaved people behind the Iron Curtain who thirst for freedom in a common struggle to form a mainstream current of the 1970s in order to safeguard human freedom, eliminate the surging evil of Communism and open a glorious century of freedom for mankind and the world.
