Taiwan, Nicaragua, Argentina, El Salvador and the Shah of Iran - among others - have all learned that lesson painfully. The Israelis are beginning to suspect it. And now it may not even pay to be a friend of a friend. On Dec. 18, it seems, the big dailies began calling one Marvin Liebman of New York, asking him to comment on the Justice department's civil suit against him. What suit?, Mr. Leibman asked. The suit charging that the organization he manages, the American- Chilean council, was not, in fact, an independent group of private citizens interested in improved U.S.-Chile relations, but was instead secretly financed by the Chilean government and had failed to disclose that fact. Mr. Leibman stoutly denies the accusation in a current newsletter published by his organization. As to the merits of the case, L don't know whether the Justice depart­ ment or Liebman is right. A court will presumably decide that. But what is clear is that the Justice department treated Liebman and his organization shabbily. They went to pains to advise the major newspapers that they were going to file the su&r" but Liebman didn't receive a formal complaint till three weeks later! Had the Justice department decided to let the press try the case before the law did? It looks BY RONALD REAGAN Secretary of State Warren suspiciously as if that is the case, for Liebman says that a friendly journalist provided him with a copy of the com­ plaint well before he got his official one. Shabby treatment from the Carter administration |s beginning to look like standard operating procedure in some quarters. Witness the stiff- arming that Mr. Carter's people have given the Republic of China over the new relationship between the U.S. and Taiwan. The Republic of China government reasoned that if Peking could have a liaison office in Washington for several years prior to "nor­ malization," it was logical that Taiwan should be able to have one afterward. Absolutely not, administration negotiators told the Republic of China.. Mr. Carter himself "stonewalled" the matter, saying that to do that would violate the terms of the "normalization" pact with the communists! Speaking of pacts, there is rich irony in that position, coming as it does on the heels of his breaking a treaty without cause for the first time in our history in order to get that "normalization." It is beginning to look as if the White House waa so anxious to get its "P.R." coup back in December that it was willing to agree to just about anything Teng Hsiao-ping wanted. While Mr. r> Carter "stonewalled" the matter of government-to-government relations with Taiwan, Deputy Christopher sounded the most shameful note of all. He suggested that the' U.S. government seek to overturn in court the Republic of China's deeding of its embassy building and other U.S. properties to a friendly citizens' committee and give them to the com­ munists! The pressure was Anally too great and the Taiwan govern­ ment had to cave in and reluctantly agree to create a "North American Coordinating council" to handle its affairs in this country. Though we are getting used to our government acting like a cream puff on many matters, it could be as totgh as it wanted to in this case because it held all the cards. Taiwan needs our markets more than we need hers. The pattern is emerging of an administration willing to be tough and bullying with those it can bully, but docile or oblivious when it comes to unfriendly gestures or human rights violations by countries we can do nothing about. The . result of all this is a sort of human rights hypocrites' hit list. Friends who need us and are willing to stand by us get regular verbal cuffing*, threats and, in some cases, cuts in aid or trade. But criticism of the really big violators - Com­ munist China, the Soviet Union, Cambodia, Vietnam, several African dictatorships - is scarcely mentioned. Has the world turned upside down?
