China's first atomic plant was built with Russian aid, a gift which some day may boomerang.

will be a billion land-hungry Chinese
ready to spill over from crowded
China into the underpopulated farm
lands of Soviet Asia. Backed by a
strong industry and armed with nu
clear weapons, such a China would
be a far more dangerous threat to the
Soviet Union than America is now,
or will be then. We want nothing
Russia has; we just want to make
sure Russia doesn't attack us or our
friends. An armed and land-hungry
China would be a very different kind
of enemy.
Khrushchev perhaps may feel a
temptation to take preventive meas
ures while he has the chance. The
grim infantry marshals who still boss
the Soviet armed forces (Malinovsky,
Konev, Sokolovsky, Grechko) may
think of pushing out to occupy "buf
fer areas" in the East as they already
have done in the West This would be
the army's chance to reconsolidate
its dominance of Soviet military af
fairs against the encroachments of
the space scientists and missile
wizards.
The missilemen, for their part, may
suggest that j ust a few of their "birds,"
if used while the Chinese nuclear pro
gram is still in the developmental stage,
could strangle that dangerous infant
in its cradle. Either of these meas
ures would, however, bring into the
open the spectacle of the great Com
munist world revolution liquidating
itself as an ideological force. To a con
vinced and dedicated Communist like
Khrushchev, such a spectacle must
appear utterly repulsive.
Chances are, then, that Khrushchev
will stall for time while he seeks some
other solution. Probably both Pei
ping and Moscow will go along for a
while paying lip service to each other
and patching up differences. Such
immediate advantage as we derive
from their differences may take the
form of slowly increasing confidence
in democracy as the stabilizing force
of the future on the part of free Asia.
President Eisenhower's recent vis
its to India, Pakistan, and other Asian
lands were well-timed to help this
confidence jell.
Novosibirsk, Russian industrial city in Siberia, is potential target in war between Reds.
