HI $59. 95 Red China: Nation Of Work, Hate By JOHN STIiOH.M NEW YORK INK A I Commu nist China is a nation organized tu work and to hate. No human beings have ever tak en on a more complete mental and physical bondage in order to leap forward into the 20th Century than the subjects of Mao Ise-tung. Nor has human Intelligence ever been brain-washed into a more vio lent haired of United Stales lead ers. - I have just traveled 7.500 miles behind the Bamboo Curtain which lor 10 years has shielded from American view the massive slate that calls itself the People's Re public of China. At the height of the Quemoy crisis, 1 have witnessed a hate America campaign that extends to the most remote peasant village. Was this what the Red Masters of Peiping wanted me to see when they granted me a visa? Or did they accept my statement that 1 wanted to visit the farms and, fac tories of the New China the China I had first seen 21 years ago so 1 could report to the people of America? Back home now, I ask myself these questions while sorting out impressions. But the answer is not clear and it may never be. Enough that it happened that I. John Strohm of Illinois, walked with only minor incidents in the streets, fields and buildings of Red China, snapping pictures with four cameras, talking with whom 1 chose and visiting schools, farms. I hospitals and landmarks without prior appointment. For three weeks 1 traveled, oy automobile, boat, train and air plane. My days began at dawn, ended at midnight. Although I saw militiamen train ing everywhere to repel the U.S. Marines who were expected to storm ashore any day, 1 do not be lieve Ihere is danger of full-scale war in the Formosa strait. This backward people has too much to do to hoist its vast ex- Handing bulk upwards toward seemingly impossible social and industrial goals. It cannot atford war. but in cocky self-eonlidencc it is willing to risk war lo infuse an apathetic peasantry with nationalistic pride TV M .1 I" '.'-; ' F tall 28 long! ver3e 26" long I o drive wearv bone and muscle lo accomplish prodigious works. 1 The Communists say over and over that they licked Uncle Sam ;n Korea. People who know noth ing of Hie power of a modern sea and air fleet chatter loudly and ar rogantly that America is a "paper tiger." As one who traveled among the Chinese people 1 years ago. 1 must report sadly that our once vast reservoir of goodwill built up in China by generations of good deeds by U.S. citizens and organi zations is now being poisoned by a campaign uuequaled in the history of ttie world. 1 arrived at the tail-end ot the hate America demonstrations in Peiping which sent three million people coursing through the streets shouting "Down with Amcr lean imperialism. Americans get out of Asia or be smashed. But this was no window dress ing in the capital. Everywhere in north, central and south China 1 saw my country portrayed as a bloody-fangcd wolf, a ruthless and ravaging soldier or a dollar-bloat ed Uncle Sam. All evidence of opposition has been swept away, and of this 1 will write later. Everyone 1 talked with farmer housewite, factory manager or of ficial lectured me on the evils ot American imperialism. A militiaman m a Nanking lac tory shouted he was ready to work or go to the front and he shoved his rifle into my stomach to dram atize his feelings to the tirst Amer ican he'd ever met. A collective farm chairman in North China said: "We whipped the American aggressors in Korea and we will fight them if they invade China He added that his farmers were so indignant they worked 15 days and nights to overfulfill the farm plan clear-cut example of the transmutation of hatred into labor force. A woman chairman of n neigh borhood cooperative in Tientsin said her neighbors were so in censed that 130 of the women are learning to shoot ritles to defend their homes against America As I stepped out or the Church of Christ in Nanking on a Sunday x i if i v f U morning a young man greeted mc, cordially in English, but when he One huge wall painting showed lound out I was an American hcthe U.S. as a big crab which wad deniandcd: "Why do you want toidled from side to side in policy, invade China?" 1 could not per,- suade him to talk about religion, or anything else. He would only rant against "aggressors." A worker in Hankow came over and gave inc a written protest igainst "American butchery" when I walked through a hog - killing plant. Chinese otlicials assert that ami: million Chinese have demonstrated against American imperialism. From all 1 saw, 1 believe that figure. lhc official line is persuasively logical to these cocky Chinese, eeling their oats alter centuries ot slavery to their warlords and for- ign domination, the line they be lieve is: "America admitted at the Cairo conference that Taiwan be longs to China . . . Quemoy and Matsu arc to China as Long Island is to the U.S.A. . . . Cliisng Kai- shek's government was so corrupt the US. couldn't save it from be ing overthrown in a fair fight by the Chinese people . . . Chiang exists only by protection of Ameri can guns and therefore the U.S. is mterlering in the internal affairs of China ... in other words, ag gression. These themes are developed by nil means of communication, from hand-drawn cartoons on walls to elaborately-acted opera skits. Day alter day newspapers devote 60 per cent of their space to stories bannered under headings like these: "Cairo Newspaper Refutes Dulles Policy," "New American Atrocities Uncovered ill Korea," and "Demobilized Veterans Offer Services to Resist U.S. Aggros- iun." in factories, on trams, on farms and in the streets, loudspeakers constantly blared that the U.S. was talking peace at Warsaw while plotting war. And then the com mercial": "Thcrclore wo must work harder to produce more food, more goods, to stop the American attack. At movie houses, sold out days in advance, 1 saw ncwsreels pur porting to show Chiang's "wanton attack" on the University of Amoy without a mention of the Red Van Raalte slips and petticoats in proportioned lengths for whatever skirt length you favor 3.95 and 5.95 ntvir ihort II you've been luting up slip itiaps . . .olding the wsiit band of your petticoat over and over to conform to new snorter skirts; if you're going to go along with Paris and lengthen your sluts this Fall . . then you'll welcome Van Raalte's solution to the "slip's showing!" problem.

But they get the people into the act. too, from the cradle lo the grave. I witnessed dozens of pa rades ot 7 ana -ycar-o!ds carrying red flags and banners supporting "Premier Cliou En-lai's state ment. An inmate of an old folks' home 1 visited earned on quite earnest ly that he didn't want his old igc security invaded by war mon iering Americans. Hundreds of thousands of let ters carrying hale-U.S. messages have been beautitully brushed by and and pasted to walls of homes. plants, hospitals and even seats of learning. On my first day in China I was treated to a street show by a truckload of opera students. They lirst drummed up a crowd by beat ing on drums and cymbals, then put a skit with this cast of charac ters: a corpse, represented by an iclor dressed like Chiang Kai hek: a pompous, silk-hatted John Foster Dulles and an Eisenhower, with painted grin, army uniform nut a golf stick as a cane. Ike says: "Dulles, I authorize you to do the talking." Dulles tries to pump up Chiang with a tire pump filled with dollars. But the imperialists are swept away by victorious Chinese workers "pro ducing 10 million tons of steel this year, by tanners "doubling their crops this year" and by soldiers who "won the war in Korea." Everybody howls at the good clean Communist fun and lhc show moves on to another standing- room-only performance on another street. Later I read a Chinese News Agency dispatch which reported with straight face that workers in a tobacco factory in Canton com ploted 600 such opera skits and lolk songs on American aggression in just half a day as king-sized a blending of art, nicotine and of licial poison as any dictatorship could ever boast too short 24" long 0 0 II III I I or too lone: I iKoit-iho't 22" long I 1 t7 V Lace trimmed petticoat.
