INDICATIONS are that a big deal Is cooking. An
AP dispatch from Moscow says that a Chino
SoTiet friendship pact appears almost a certainty.
Th two countries also ar wrpacied to work out
trad and mutual assistance agreements. It la a
moment of estreme satisfaction for Russia.
Th Moscow newspaper Isvostla, Bovlrt govern
ment organ, editorialising In general terms about the
situation in th Orient, saya 'American imperialists
are obviously underrating by a vary wide margin
the forces of th peoples' liberation movement in
Asia Maybe, but It atrikaa m America is pretty
well aware of what Is going forward In that theater.
It only remains for us to mak our Asiatic policy
aa complete as our awareness of th position.
OF coun China represents only on phase of
this Armageddon which Is In full awing In the
Orient between communism and democracy. How
ever. It's a vital phase, and Mao triumphal visit
to the powers that be In Moscow la an Important
moment.
However, while w shouldn't underestimate th
Importance of th development, neither should w
overestimate It. Mao la delivering a very sound mili
tary success to Moscow, but he isn't delivering politi
cal domination of China half billion people.
China Is far from communlsed Ideologically. Just
aa it was far from being completely within Chiang
Kai-sheks Nationalist fold. Untold millions of
Chinas people are lowly folk who aren't political
conscious. They are Interested in an Ideology which
fills the stomach. Nobody yet has given them what
they want.
ITS seven years ago this Christmas season that X
had a long talk In Chungking with General Chou
En-lai. then Communist uasian diplomat to Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government.
General Chou. who now la foreign minister In Mao's
government, tried to Impress It on me that Chines
Communists were agranana and that their Ideology
had no relation to Moscow.
Well, yes and no. Th Chines Communists who
are politically conscious are of the Moscow brand.
Th masse who are In th territories conquered by
the Communist armies may be labeled Communists
but, aa previously remarked, they do their thinking
with their bellies. Their convictions are In accord
with this practice.
This means that Mao. In order to consolidate his
victory, must now rehabilitate war-ravaged China.
He must gtv th people food, clothing and fuel. He
must reduce th taxation which hangs like a mill
stone about th necks of the small peasant farmers.
That calls for vast outside help, most of which would
have to come from the western world.
China won't be communlsed (If at all) until this
rehabilitation has been achieved. That's why Chiang
Kai-shek persists in th belief that he can make a
'comeback. and reclaim the country from the Reds.
SO w must conclude that this la a crucial period
In the Chinese civil strife. It Is on of th most
vital In the whole Asiatic political upheaval.

Observers Think Investors
Betting Inflation Coming
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK, Dec JO 4 Many
ebaervra believe that Wall street,
Washington and Pittsburgh and
apparently Main Street, too are
betting on inflation ahead.
Brokers report that the public is
coming Into the stock market, and
that there la a noticeable shift from
bonds and preferreda to the buying
of enmmon stock both trends
usually considered Indicators of ln-
flauon-mindedness around the coun
try.
Washington is drafting next
year budget in a financial at
mosphere ruled by deficit financing,
which means the pumping of new
money Into the business stream.
Washington also notes that Install
ment credit la rising and that the
authority to apply curbs has lapsed.
And low Interest rates and easy
money are still prime policy at the
treasury. In spite of federal reserve
criticism. All these are listed as in
flationary. Sustained Demand
Pittsburgh aces steel prices going
Up, and figures that the steel com
panies wouldn't have taken that
Step unless they were betting on sus
tained steel demand In the months
ahead, and on general business
speed-up aucn as accompanies the
first phase of a new inflationary
spiral.
Steel being an essential raw ma
terial for about 40 per cent of Amer
ican Industry, a price rise there can
only mean higher production costs
all along the line. Even if compe
tition forces some absorption of the
bike by steel processors, there
seems bound to be some price rise
to the consuming public for a multi
tude ot goods in daily use. And In
other cases, such as autos. where
price declined had been anticipated
In the months Just ahead, the in
creasa of 18 :o 110 in the steel used
in making a rr. may halt the plan
ned price cuts for care.
Already the appliance makers are
talking of raising their price to
meet the increased steel charges.
Pay Hike
More important, possibly, are the
Indications that labor will use the
steel price hike ss the springboard
lor asking pay hikes. The United
Auto Workers (CIO) union says it
will ask General Motors for a wage
increase and for better pension and
health insurance plans than it got
from Ford. Bteel workers seem sure
to us the st-el price hike aa an
excuse for stirting the fifth round
of wage-price boosts next year.
Until inflation gets will under
way. If it does, the cost of living
will show little of Its effects. That
la because much ot it is based on
farm prices, and commodities con
tinue to slide slowly If Jerkily down,
rise. The textile market shows some
strength again, so that clothing
prices may not decline as much
as some once hoped.
Retail prices V1rj still be bolstered
in one way or another by Washing
ton. Farm subsidies keep food
prices from dropping much. Con
tinued high taxes, the coming hike
in the minimum wage, and the talk
of imposing a new general five per
cent excise tax on manufacturer's
sales all would be added In time
to the over-the-counter price you
would pay for goods.
The deflationary side of the pic
ture? Well, toils? there are predic
tions that the Jobless total next year
may rise to five million. Farm
Income is expected to continue to
fall. National Income as a whole
may be lower next year than this.

looks for more public building but
less industrial and commercial
building.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 Wv The
unseating of the labor government
In Australia resulted from public
rear over "left-wing ism" and "the
all-powerful state.' says one of the
men who sparked the victorious lib
eral and country parties.
The voters wanted change, con
tends one of the losers, hut some
of them "dont know why."
Reporting for the winner was
Richard G. Casey, who was sworn
in yesterday in Canberra a min
ister ot supply in the Australian
cabinet.
Casey said he believes that the
defeat of th Australian labor party
after eight years of power coming
aa It did on the heels of a sim
ilar political change in New Zea
land "will have at least some In
fluence on the coming elections In
Britain."
His views were reported m an
overseas telephone Interview with
The U. S. News and World Re
port, weekly news magirlne pub
lished at Washington.
Tree Enterprise'
Casey'a answers to questions put
him by the magazine Indicated that
the political campaign was fought
out along the line of "free enter
prise' aa opposed to socialization
and nationalization. He said his was
a free enterprise party and com
pletely opposed to socialization."
He added, however, that 'this
does not say we are opposed In
any way to social services." His
party, he explained, had said It
would not reduce the scale of so
cial service.
Asked if he thought the voters
were 'discontented" over any par
ticular issues, Casey answered:
"The Issues were quite distinct
We were fighting left-wingism.'
And the vote for us and against
the labor government was very def
inite and very positive all over
Australia."
Fear
He added: It was not discon
tent aa much as fear of left-wingism
and the all powerful state. The
theory or left-wlngism, of course, is
the all-powerful state."
The magazine also published In
terviews with J. B. Chlfley, the
retiring prime minister of the labor
government, and H. A. M. Camp
bell, editor of The Melbourne Age.
It termed the Age an Independent
newspaper of major Influence In
Australian affairs.
Chlfley denied that "the welfare-
state Idea" had been repudiated by
tne elections. He added that all
partiea In Australia "are pledged
to provide adeauate social services.
educational facilities and health
services," and said defeat of his
party was a result of voters want
ing a change "but they don't know
why."
Weary
Campbell said the chanae result
ed from: "first, a general weari
ness of a party which haa been
in office eight years. It was a
completion of th swing of the pen
dulum which Invariably operates In
Australian politics, as in most other

U.S. Scientists Find New

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 UP)
United States scientists are finding
answers to one of the moat difficult
and terrifying problems of atomic
warfare.
For three years they have sought
a safeguard against the lingering
and lethal radioactive poison cre

ways to prevent contamination of
people and object or to cleanse
areas and objects of the poison.
A new publication of the AEC on
"handling radioactive wastes" and
a summary of studies written by
an army engineer ahow that the
problem Is not quite as hopeless aa
waa once believed.
The AEC report mentions that Its
Oak Ridge, Tenn., laboratories have
been seeking better methods for
decontaminating buildings, equip
ment and general areas. Then It
comments:
"This work will be useful not only
In the atomic energy program but
also to the armed forces In develop
ing means of decontaminating
equipment In combat zones.
'Progress is reported on the de
velopment of strlppable films which
can be used to cover contaminated
apparatus and, If necessary, placed
by remote control."
At other laboratories. It says:
Similar coatings have been devel
oped for painting hot laboratories.
From time to time the contaminat

laboratory walls do not thus be

Hot
Atomic expert use the word
"hot" to designate anything that Is
dangerously radioactive. The 'hot"

At Bikini, various experimental

Sources close to President El

been waterd down considerably.
For this they cue two reasons;

Qulrmo and rvnung Kai-shek, the

Chiang later went to Korea to
confer with President Hyngman
Rhre of the republic of South Korea,
who had been an enthusiastic sup
porter of Qulnno's original pro

ever, that the Asian countries were
