Industry." They will quit work
again Saturday, however, for

Chinese Reds
Plan New Regime
Shanghai, China, June 21 mi
The new China news agency Mon
day quoted Chinese ; communist
chieftain Mao Tze-Tung that com
munist China would become a
"people's democratic republic"
governed by a coalition of left
wing parties.
The agency reported a speech
by Mao in Peiping to a prepara
tory session of the "political con
sultative conference," a group
Mao said Would proclaim the new
state and elect its government.
Mao said only the establish
ment of a coalition government
would free the people of imperial
ism, feudalism and semi-colonialism.
He did not reveal when it-would
be formed. But he hinted its es
tablishment would be proclaimed
(before the entire country was oc
cupied by the communists.
Relations Possible
The communist leader said the
"new China" was willing to es
tablish diplomatic relations with
foreign countries if they severed
relations with nationalist China.
Mao was quoted:
"We are opposed to imperial
ism and intrigues against the
Chinese people.
"We are willing to establish dip
lomatic relations with any foreign
country on a footing of equality
and a basis of mutual benefit
and mutual respect for sovereign
ty and territorial integrity, provid
ed that foreign country is willing
to sever its relations with Chinese
reactionaries and would not give
further assistance to Chinese re
actionaries and would adopt tru
ly, not falsely, a friendly attitude
toward the peoples of China."
Mao said he expected opposi
tion to the new regime.
"Reactionaries and imperialists
are not expected to submit to
their defeat but will use all kinds
of plots." Mao said. He added that
the communists would win out.
