The premise upon which the Mar shall - Stuart peace making policy is based is that if we do get out we will leave the way open for com munists to run wild and probably establish a state there challenging the Chi ang regime. Only the communists have been agitating for our with drawal for the purposes of their revolution. . But Madame Sun Is no com munist. She js the shy widow of China's patriot with the closest family ties to the government, one who had renounced long since any participation in poli tics. Why did she speak surpris ingly for a communist purpose? Her friends here say she had become saturated with distrust of the Chiang regime which Ls quite possible. lis deficiencies are defensible only by the broad con sideration that communism is worse. Chiang's one-party capi talism has been ravaged by in flation and practically everything else. Madame Sun spoke out, they say, to shake Chiang from his complacency and urge him to liberalizations, even though by doing so she opposed one of her sisters, the Wife of Chiang, and GRIN AND BEAR IT By Lichty OP ... -''V' : m JVJ'l I I I I 1 T I I I 'How can we prova to the kids that crime doesn't pay. chief? if the treasury department keeps on suing successful criminals for back Income taxes!"

Editorial Comment From Our Contemporaries what might be termed the fman cial regime. Marshall's Return Hinted Simultaneously, General Mar shall, the special presidential emissary, and the new U. S. Am bassador Stuart, Lssued a state ment saying peace between the kuomintang and the communists was virtually, impossible, and no denial was made of reports -that Marshall was to return to Wash ington, giving the whole C hina condition up as a bad job. These suggestions were sensational and tragic. Marshall had been choten by Mr. Truman because he was a military man not involved in politics and able to keep an eye coolly upon peace despite all haz ards. A week later Acting state Secretary Acheson let a press conference here know Marshall's return was hot ex pet ted soon and every indication pointed to the suspicions that the rumors of return were designed for a diplo matic purpose. If so. both Madame Sun Yat Sen and the Marshall-Stuart an nouncements accomplished an ob jective in part. Chiang thereafter issued a statement promising a national assembly meeting which would take in other parties, upon the scheduled date of November 19 H alarm mnHraliwl Hi t tempted stringencies in other lines, and defended his regime, although he offered little hope to communism. Explanation Furnished This result furnishes the expla nation behind most of the un usual events reported from the top China sources in the last few weeks. Now we have about 25,000 troops in China. They are strung out in bases through tte north, technically demobilizing Japanese. Although the have feen "am bushed and shot occasionally, they have not been opposed by Japanese. If bunched they would not be formidable for peace or war purposes, excepting psyco logically. Their influence, like that of Marshall, has been for peace only. Madame Sun Yat Sen urged Americans also to think twice about loans (which would be used for military equipment). We have authorized a loan of $115, 000,000 to China to purchase sur plus military equipment, but of ficial information here says none' of this has yet been used by China. I do not know. Yet it is rather obvious' China mostly uses our equipment now, while the reported number of 40 divisions of communist troops in the north (400.000 perhaps) are mostly us ing Japanese equipment which they seized. Certainly the im pression prevails here that if we withdraw both.troops and equip ment before Chiang establishes a more solid government upon greater liberal principles, we will be doing what the communists want and need to win. Followers Dejected The dejection of a few people with Chiang, however, has reach ed the point where they think communism might not be a bad thing for ChirHL They are suffer ing political melancholia due to too much war. (China has never known real peace in this gene ration). What they should re member is that communism has never succeeded anywhere in this world. What China needs is pro duction. She cannot get it by com munism. Consider the failures of the five year plans in Russia.

Dr. Young believes the Russian research has great possibilities. Singular things have been not ed in the use of molds, penicillin for instance. Either Its efficacy fails in some cases or the virus or germ it combats develops a capacity for resistance. In the case of gonorrhea, penicillin was hailed as a quick wonder cure; but after some months it failed to effect cures as quickly or as surely as formerly. This problem still baffles the scientists. The answer may be found in the var iants within the molds or within the germ or virus family being fought. This brings up the question as to whether at this fringe of life creation is still in process. In the case of inorganic matter science has created products with new chemical composition plutonium, for example, whose atomic struc ture varies slightly from uran ium. May it be that natiure in that twilight zone between inert matter and life is still by design j or by accident evolving new j forms, some of which may sur- j vive and others die?
