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

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

to risk war lo infuse an apathetic

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

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

shek's government was so corrupt

the Chinese people . . . Chiang

of China ... in other words, ag

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

and "Demobilized Veterans Offer

and in the streets, loudspeakers

plants, hospitals and even seats of

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
