Sr'- " ', " 1 I I- "k MARKS ANNIVERSARY - Communist China's leader Mao 'fsc-Tung jjoins otlicr Communist Party bosses to review ' a parade of workers and soldiers today marking the 13th anniversary of Red rule in the ancient land. China stands today as the most populous nation on earth with more than 700 million people. -(UPI) gress last spring put its stamp of approval, on. a capital re trenchment program and a back-to-tHefarjn movement. According" W the- Peiping People's Daily, authoritative publication of "the Chinese Communist party, the "aid-lo-ngrieulture" policy is begin ning to pay off. In early Sep tember, the paper predicted an Increase in agricultural production this year, barring a, disastrous autumn harvest. ; Ideological 'Dispute , I Part of China's troubles - at jhome and abroad - tan be 'traced to its ideological dis pute with the Soviet Union. The feud has been going on for the past few years. It reached its peak, publicly at least, late last year. For the past several months it has been under wraps, but the best informed observers of the Communist scene say it is far from over. The best recent evidence to support this observation Is a recent article in the People's Daily, which attached Yugo slav President Marshal Tito and "revisionism" In the Com munist movement, i Tile paper's attack almpst coincided with the .visit to Yugoslavia of Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev. More important, perhaps, was its strong defense of the "hard line" communism advo cated by Peiping and Mao's theories - as opposed to those of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev - on the inevit ability of war. The dispute with the Soviet Union has cost China con siderably - in terms of in fluence within and without Ihc Communist camp, and in terms of cold cash. The Soviet Union still gives the Peiping regime some tech nical and economic assistance, but the overall amount has been drastically reduced. There also has been a sharp reduction in the amount of trade between the two Com munist giants. The trade gap has been closed by trade with Western nations, the most prominent example being huge grain purchases from Australia and Canada. No firm figures are avail able on China's balance of payments position, but the best available estimates indi cate the Peiping regime is facing a serious balance of payments problem. The ideological dispute with the Soviet Union may well be the most serious long range problem facing the Peiping regime, but the prob lem of the most immediate import perhaps is the border dispute with India. Rooted in History The border problem Is root ed in British colonial history, but the Chinese and Indians have been wrestling unsuc cessfully with it for only about a half dozen years. ' Attempts at peaceful nego tiation have been fruitless. In recent weeks bloodshed has increased along the disputed border of the world's two most populous nations. Both countries have warned that war could break out at any moment. Basically, the dispute in volves more than 40.000 square miles of territory along the border. China has issued almost weekly warnings and protests during the past several months in extremely strong language. On the other side of the vast China mainland, the Chi nese Communists have anoth er war scare whipped up. Based on Genuine Fear They have staged a tremen dous military building along the coastal area fronting the Formosa Strait. In the south ern area, particularly in Kwangtung Province, they have clamped on some of the most stringent internal secur ity measures since the end of their bloody purges in the 1950s. According to Far East in telligence sources, the mili tary buildup and tightened security are based on a genu- Dennis the Menace will come within the next year. Remarks by Foreign Minis ter Chen Yi to Japanese jour nalists in mid-September have caused some to predict that the Chinese might explode a crude nuclear bomb soon. Until she becomes a nuclear power, Red China appears in tent on pushing her aims through Mao's favorite tactic - guerrilla warfare. The chances of the Peiping regime being admitted to the United Nations this year are slim. i When he disclosed China's I large - scale nuclear weapons I research in mid - September, Chen Yl repeated some old remarks in this. Communist China, he said, will never consent to becom ing a member of the United Nations until the Nationalist Chinese are kicked out. China is prepared to wait, he said, as have others bifora him. 'My KIDDIEQARTER TEACHER HAS TO TAKE LITTLE WHITE pills just Because &M!' ine fear of a Nationalist in vasion. But some sources, also be lieve the moves might be par tially designed to distract a disgruntled population. When the Red Chinese air force shot down an American-made, Nationalist - owned U2 plane over East China early in September, the Com munist authorities appeared to be trying to use the inci dent to whip up a new large- scale anti-American campaign. If they were, they failed, according to their own ac counts of the rallies broadcast over Peiping Radio and moni-, lored in Tokyo. ' ' '' The Communist authorities used the U2 incident to reaf firm their intention to "liber ate" Taiwan, by force, is necessary. Few people expect the Com munists to try to make good on their threats as long as the United States Seventh Fleet is protecting the Nationalist held Island. The attitude may change when the Red Chinese acquire nuclear weapons.
