The 'Iiwcnilable Oriental ..... . t Editor! note: This Is the second of three - condensations of noteworthy ariclcs from the Afihals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science for July, entitled Lessons From Asia. The first dealt with lessons tha UJ5. has learned in Korea.) Americana tend to be indignapt at each new indication that Asiatics distrust, dislike and mis understand us. We try. to help them ; (so we think) and ithev call us dirty narnesVWe want them to be friends, an! they hold hands with the Russians instead. Tbuspie popular concep tion of the Oriental as inscruptable grows. ' Actually, as two articles by Yale Philosopher' T. S. C. Northup and Far East Expert Vera Utichetes Dean show Asiatic attitudes toward the US. are both comprehensible and plausible. That our understanding of these attitudes is prerequisite -to successful dealing with Asia should be obvious. . : f The first thing to remember when we talk about Asiatics is that about 85 per cent of the "population .is illiterate and provincial and III - informed. Then we must realize that there is no such thing as love among nations. Cooperation, if mutually beneficial, but no love. A great ?jwer is seldom loved, and we shouldn't care, hej British didn't, and that was their "great strength," says Mrs. Dean a debatable point in view of Britain's present situation. . . We also have to conair that Asiatics lave different criterions for prtmer moral rondnrt. Nehru said U. intervention was invmora, ,I3 meant that we didn't try mpd'artion and com promise before we used force. ITbcreas we.bold ..the just and fair way Jto settle dispute is $7 bringing it under general rule, thereby making -all men equal under the law, Jhe Hindu and, Confucian! has little regard .tor,., determinate principles evidence, codes or precedents. Hie together with your adversary. (This may explain Nehru, but it doesn't ex jitn Grandhi's passive resistance, tar the "sav ing face" idea, about which we lave heard so much.) . : ; -.. ' . The main bar to good relations between the U.S. and Asia is the imperialism of the past. Most leaders there came to power on the thesis that the ills o( their countrymen were due to ' foreign -interference. As politicians, they cannot airordto become uncle bam s bedieiiows. Thisexperience with imperialism is the one common' denominator of Asians. It is the reason the people distrust any nation that tries to pre serve semnants of colonialism, and tend tq throw of f rany ' leaders (Chiang Kai-shek, Bao Dai, r riL i l L - tTC - -l i oygman ruieei wnu reiy uu inc w.o. iu twyr ui power. In rf act,, many Asiatics feel ithat but for U.S. aid Chiang would still be in power today. They don't believe us when we tell them we - are taking action in Asia for their own good, because, in the past Western imperialists have used the same line as a guise for exploitation. Americans can't understand why Asiatics', should be so fearful of theJJ.S. as an "aggres sively militaristic and imperialistic'' nation, and yet appear complacent about Russia. This 3s be cause Asiatics have been more or less co-exist-' ing with Russia in Asia since the 18th century, nd Russia has not proved itself a colonial pow er In the sense Britain was.

J The Safety Vci i i Ive Mot7B Signs Increasing That Communist China 7G f Refuse to Bo Submissivo to Communirf Qursfa sq?propriata eonld ba given aa ne at the proper By-Joseph and Stewart Alsep j WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 There is, for the first time; solid evi dence of serious trouble between f the Soviet Un- Ion and Com- I munist China. JTbe . most re- cent sign of I trouble oc . curred w hen the eighteen slogans ap proved , by the Chinese , polit buro ' for the Chinese Army mention of Joseph Stalin. This omission is universally Interpreted by the expertss,as an open snub by the Cainese com-. munists to the Soviet dictator and thus to the ILK Soviet .Union. jits significance is pointed up by the fact that Marshal Tito had his first warning of the Impending storm when his . name was omit ted from slo- gans in the Moscow M a v Day celelaa- tiohs. But even before this mat ter of the slogans, there was ex traordinarily significant evidence of possible discord between the Russian and Chinese commun ists. - This took the form of seven long articles by leading Chi nese conomunist party function aries, published in July on the occasion of the party's thirtieth anniversary, tad forwarded very recently to the state department - by the American coasulate gen eral in Hong Kong. Siea staea ments point directly to a mca ber of conclusions, of which tie most important may be snrr.ryi up as follows: Mao- Tse-tung, Chinese ecra munist leader, considers Ccra xnunist China an ally of the So- . viet Union, but an iaepeadeat aad co-eaaal ally. Moreover, for from contenting himself with the i role of a MaoTse'tanr tne equal. an4 aa oat so senae the soOerfac lot . SUlin. The possibilrges of ble with the Soviet Union ia this independent stand of the Chinese Communist leader are very ob vious. A " j , - .h": ij ; ' i Here are ., some, but by - no means ell. of the. items of evi ' dence which lead to this conclu . sion: . i; I - I First, of , these- seven official articles, four fnake oa neatien af Stalin's ' name whatsoever. This in itself $ enough to prove 1 that Mao Tse-tungs China is no - whouy-controled Satellite on the , Eastern Europe aa pattern. i Second, the deification. of Mao Tse-tung has been substituted in China for the jdeifica tion of Jo seph Stalin. Ir an article by the vice-chairman J of; - the political department, ia which Stalin's . name Is never Used, Mao's name is used 47 times, always with the same ; breathless I adulation . that surrounds; SlSilin's name In -the Soviet Union or the Euro pean satellites. The usual com munist exhortations appear at the end of a number of i these arti cles, but with a s significant change. The punch line is not - "Long live the Glorious Sta lin! but "Long Live Comrade Mao Tse-tung, organizer and leader of the Chinese peoples revolution! l . a a 1 j ' Third, all credit for the Chl . ese revolution is given to Mao and tha Chlno rVwrnwrninttf pur- ty throughout the thousands of words of text, there Is just one formal and wholly parenthetical bow to the contribution of the Stalinist regime.
