Nationalist China Faces Problem Of Youths Trying To Dodge The Draft Issue By JOIIN RODERICK I SHANGHAI, April 2 In nationalist China almost no one wants to be a soldier. Although the nation is locked in : a life and death civil war. there is no rush to the colors. In fact, one of the commonest topics ol conver sation among young men is how- to escape the draft. Generally it is fairly easy a ' draftee can leave town or buy out. The latter means paying for a substitute, a practice followed in the U. S. Civil war. Draft officials, who are realists, have drawn up an easy scale of payments, in every thing from dollars to rice. Tientsin's draft is a good example j of official difficulties. The city was supposed to have sent 7500 men to : the army by the end of January, i Only 2250 were located. City officials offered cash bonuses if others would sign. The offer has . risen steadily until lt is 10.000.000 I Yuan (about $20) but there have been few takers. Now the city is going to draw lots to Ret the remainder cf its needed "volunteers." After the drawing, there will be another delay while thof-e chosen try to hire standitis. The apathetic attitude toward the civil war is in sharp contrast with sentiments during the Japanese war. Then thousands of youths fled Jap anese areas so they could fight for free China. After eight years of war against the invader, most of these young sters have become disillusioned men. They returned to a society in which many collaborators or nonfighters had made and kept fortunes. One young veteran summed up this prevalent attitude: "Why should I fight u j own gov ernment? This is a private war be tween the Kuomintang t government partyi and the communists. I want to begin living my own life and all I want is peace." Icebreaker Back Home LOS ANOEl.ES.
