Life in Red China Includes
Gasoline at $3 Per Gallon
Waco, Tex. ftl.R) Gasoline is selling for $3 a gallon in Amer
ican dollars, about five times its former price, in Tsinglao, China,
under the communist regime.
Mrs. Darlyne Sears, a Baylor university student, says her hus
band, who is in missionary work in the Chinese city, writes her
that taxes on the Sears' home at
the mission likewise have ad
vanced from $50 to $500 an
nually, U. S. currency value.
Mrs. Sears and her husband,
the Rev. S.B. Sears, were South
ern Baptist missionaries to
northern China when the com
munists took over.
They were warned repeatedly
by the American consul of the
approach of the Red forces and
finally upon insistence of the
consul, Mrs. Sears returned to
America last Jan. 10. The pastor
chose to remain at the mission
base at Tsingtao.
Both the Sears call St. Joseph,
Mo., their home.
While waiting to be reunited
with her husband, Mrs. Sears
enrolled at Baylor university to
complete her college work. The
few letters she has received
from her husband have reveal
ed some interesting things about
communist China.
All organized mail service
with the outside world has been
cut off, Sears didn't know his
wife was in Baylor until several
weeks ago. Letters from the
Tsingtao must be given to Chi
nese friends, who carry them
to Honk Kong, where they are
mailed.
The Communists have not yet
solved the Chinese Inflation
problem, according tot Sears. He
said he has paid as much as
$25,000,000 (Chinese currency)
for one meal's groceries and
2,000 Chinese dollars for a hair
cut.
Chinese Policy
Under Attack
Washington, Dec. 8 W) Sena
tor Vandenberg (R., Mich,.) is be
ing urged by some republicans
to clear the way for GOP attacks
on the administration's attitude
toward China, Spain and possib
ly Israel.
Recuperating in Michigan
from a major operation, Vanden
berg has informed friends here
he plans to return to Washington
for the opening of the new ses
sion of congress Jan. 3.
Most of his party colleagues
want the Michigan senator to
clarify early in the session the
republican course on the bipar
tisan foreign policy.
Some of those interested say
frankly they hope that while
Vandenberg will call for contin
ued republican cooperation with
the democrats on major foreign
issues, he will point out as he
has in the past that the GOP has
not been consulted in advance
except on decisions in a narrow
field.
Senator Brewster of Maine,
chairman of the GOP senatorial
campaign committee, is said to
believe the republicans can make
Issues in the 1950 campaign of
the administration's handling of
the China, Spain and possibly the
Israel problem with its continu
ing turmoil and dissension.
I Chinese Situation Described
By Dr. Chang in Talk Here
Should the United States string along with the tottering
National government in China or should recognition be given
to the communists who have gained control of virtually all of
eastern China?
Answers to those questions must be made within the near fu
ture, said Dr. H. H. Chang, Chi
nese diplomat, guest speaker for
Wednesday night's session of the
Salem Knife and Fork club ai
the Marion.
Speaking with a Harvard ac
cent, an institution from which
he holds a doctorate, Dr. Chang
declined to make any recom
mendations as to which course
this country should take He
charged the Nationalist govern
ment with being "inept, incom
petent, corrupt and unable to do
anything for the people of
China. It is a pitiable situation,"
he added.
Dr. Chang said that it is "nei
ther practical nor feasible" for
this country to have no relation
ships with China. He intimated
that it might be wise to give
partial recognition at least to
the communists since it would
permit this country to be on the
ground when and if develop
ments arose.
The situation as it exists today
in China stems from the failure
of the Nationalists to take a firm
stand after the defeat of Japan,
sdid Dr. Chang. He stated that
the resolution was not a military
one and the triumph of the com
munists was credited to the gov
ernment's failure to give eco
nomic or political relief.
Dr Chang declared the Na-i
tionalist government was shot:
full of nepotism with a small j
group at the top officials feath-!
ering their nests to Ihe tune of
some two billion dollars , which
has been moved out of the coun
try. I
'I would want the state de
partment to be patient, study the
situation carefully and play the
game intelligently," said Chang
in closing. He insisted that "all
is not lost" and all sorts of pos
sibilities remain.
