gjAMnby will iwnAwwi; 'Keep Them Poor and Busy' Principle of Commie Rule Hons Kone U.R) "Keep the people poor and keep them busy," is the basic principle of Chinese Communist rule, an analysis of mainland reports shows. ' Those two conditions, the Communists have found, are the best, means of maintaining con trol of the population. Reports from both Communist and inde pendent sources show that, in stead . of generating social un rest, they have produced de pendence on the government and pliability to further controls. The two conditions are sup plemented by high-tension in doctrination, social rementa tion, political suppression, mass arrests and mass killings. They have enabled the Communists to keep the population more or less tightly under their thumbs. Reports reaching here reveal that during their two-and-a-half years under Red rule the Chi- Mrs. Maxwell Anderson Puts On Blue Bonnet Praises F.N.E.!

They have been pushed almost uninterruptedly through a hard-grinding gaunt let of "movements," "cam paigns" or ''drives" in a life of virtually continuous tension. "Struggle" Stressed k Food requisitions, cash con tributions, troop comfcting, work competition, production in crease, and the "struggle" against landlords, reactionaries and local despots enter into the picture. There are victory bond drives, the "resist United States and aid Korea" movement, the "suppression of counter-revolutionaries," church independence movements, and the donations drive to buy heavy weapons for Chinese "volunteers" in TCorea. All have been used to keep the people keyed up but under control. The latest drives are the "thought-reform" movement for intellectuals and the purge inside the Communist Party and government service against "bureaucratism, corruption and deviationism." The other policy principle of keeping the people poor is also being vigorously carried out. Wages and profits have been kept at a low level by regula tion or taxes. State enterprises have been expanded and private business strangled and gradually breught under state control. Export and import trade, the textile indus try, banking businesses and many others for instance, al ready have been put under com plete state control . Taxes Way Up Taxes in present-day China are reported to be among the highest in the country's history. Some of the taxes on the "un wanted classes," the landlords, for example, are - described as liquidatory" in nature. Numerous levies supplement the taxes in keeping the peo ple down to the state-envisaged financial level. . Leaving aside the many small levies, there was the big "cash contribution and loan" drive in 1949. Contribu tions were made to the govern ment and some cities paid as much as the equivalent of U. S. $1,000,000, which took away a PAULSEN'S THRIFT MARKET CENTRAL POINT Fret Parking LARGE, CRISP, GOLDEN CARROTS 2 bun. 19c SCHOOLBOY SIZE WINESAP APPLES2ib19c RIPE AND PRICED RIGHT! Thursday, February 10. 1ISS Youngsters Made Court Wards After r Sex Parties Told Los Angeles U.R) Twenty three members of a juvenile sex club became 'court wards Thurs day after a shocked Judge heard reports of their frenzied sex parties, some allegedly on a school grounds. One of the 19 boys, aged 11 to 16, involved in the investigation was a president of his class. The four girls are aged 12 to 14. Started Three Months Ago Superior Judge William B. McKesson heard testimony that the parties went on for nearly three months before they came to the attention 61 authorities, who first learned of them from the parents of a girl who had been asked to Join. "Our daughter told us," they reported, "that the parties were common knowledge among pu pils of Vie school." Parents of a brother and sister involved in the orgies said that school authorities knew of the parties last October but failed to notify parents. On School Grounds "Some of the acts were right on the school grounds." they charged. McKesson and Court Commis sioners ftiprman Holden and Rob ert J. Hamilton interviewed the youngsters, whose names were withheld, before disposing of the cases. McKesson held a private hearing in chambers for the girls before the boys went into court. McKesson warned them to re form, or learn that there are sterner tribunals than the juve nile COUtt. One 13-year-old girl told him of participating in normal and abnormal sex practices with nine boys. Another girl said she had been intimate with 10 boys at the parties.

S. $200,000,000 from the peo ple. Last year, there was an other big "donations drive" to buy planes and heavy weapons for the Chinese "volunteers" in Korea. That collected about U. S. $236,000,000. The general belief is that a new drive will be launched this year, but no one knows just now what it will be like. These money-collection drives have clipped off any private in come, partially, or wholly, that might have been, obtained de spite taxes and regulations. A Chinese businessman, re cently arrived here from Tient sin, said: "The Communists allowed our firm to make five to 10 per cent profit. Anything above that was considered excessive profits and led to charges of speculation or hoarding. "Even the five to 10 per cent profit did not belong to us. It usually ended in Communist pockets as taxes and levies." He said it is the same with workers. Sometimes they are given a raise, but often some sort of a drive soon afterwards takes it away.
