when Madame

is that if we do
get out we will
leave the way
open for com

wild and probably establish a
state there challenging the Chi

have been agitating for our with

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

say, to shake Chiang from his
complacency and urge him to
liberalizations, even though by
doing so she opposed one of her

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.
Communism is wrong in natural
essence because if suppo--.es every

would be in hand for this terri
ble scourge. 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
