Chinese Commune Drive
Could Embarrass Soviets
Say Diplomatic Reports
LONDON (UPH - Diplomatic
dispatches from behind the Iron
Curtain reported today mounting
tension between Moscow and
Peiping over Red China's "com
munes" drive.
Success or failure could cause
Tiussia serious embarrassment.
Red China has just ordered a
low-down in the drive for the
ant-heap Communist society
which it has been pushing with
complete disregard for human en
durance. But latest reports said the slow
down applied chiefly- to cities,
whereas the "Communist-now"
strategy remained in full swing
throughout China's countryside.
Much is at stake for Red Chi
na's regime as well as for the
Soviet Union, the authoritative
reports warned.
Success of Peiping's forced sys
tem of communes would make
Red China the first world Com
munist society and steal the
march on the Soviet Union's
claim to leadership.
Its failure, on the other hand,
could seriously shake the Peiping
regime and thus have grave rep
ercussions for the Soviet Union
and the Communist regimes in
the satellite states in Europe.
The reports cited strong evi-

from Cuba.
The giant ocean-going ferry

night. Winds up to 35' miles an

dence that the hastened develop
ment towards a Communist so
ciety in Red China has caused
considerable worries in Moscow
and above all to Soviet leader
.MKila Khrushchev personally.
Officially, the Soviet Union ha:
maintained a studied silence and
little has been said in the press
But Moscow was understood to
have cautioned Peipirg in definite
icrms against its over-hasty com
munes drive wnich Russia her
self tried and quickly dropped in
me eariy stages ot the revolution
Moscow was oelieved to have
in effect urged Red China to
abandon the explosive policy or,
if this proved impossible, at least
to go easy in her own interest
and in that of continued solidarity
oi woria communism.
Russia under Khrushchev's di
rective has in effect taken almost
an opposite course. Her latest
seven-year economic plan, despite
us ambitious targets, has been
officially termed merely the be
ginning of "a new stage in the
development of the Soviet on the
way to Communism."
Some reports suggested that
the conflict has resulted in a
head-on collision between Khrush
chev and Red Chinese leader
Mao Tse-tung.
Last month Peiping in a sur
prise move officially gave notice
of its intention to slow-down the
communes drive.
The decision was taken by the
Central Committee of the Chinese
Communist party Dec. 10 and ex
perts believed it was the result
of a combination of Soviet pros
sure and menacing internal
stresses.
These stresses apparently be
came serious when Peiping de
cided to extend the system of
communes to the cities after it
had been forced upon the country
side with appalling speed and
ruthlessncss.
Reports reaching the outside
world revealed opposition in the
cities from workers and intellec
tuals. Apparently sensing the dan
ger, the Peiping authorities swift
ly called for a slow-down and for
modifications in the general
scheme. In grimness the scheme
compares well with the nightmare
phantasy of British writer George
Orwell s 1984 vision of a totali
tarian state.
However, the main Red Chinese
target has not been abandoned and
there was no suggestion of revers
ing the policy which has already
engulfed 99 per cent of all the
peasant households in China, ac
cording to authoritative reports.
The communes are formed by
the mergers-lock, stock and bar
rel of neighboring agricultural
cooperatives. Life is organized on
military lines. The last vestige of
personal freedom is wiped out,
and home and family life are to
tally disrupted.
The establishment of common
mess halls and nurseries free the
women for full-time work. The
creation of industry in rural areas
as an integral part of the com
munes reduces the living stand
ards of industrial workers to the
lower levels of agricultural workers.
Official Chinese publications
have revealed these developments:
Each, commune includes, up to
10,000 households and in' some
cases even more. Members serve
the state primarily in agricultural
production, but must also serve
in any other type of work assigned
to them, from industry and min
ing, to public construction works,
Thev lead a communal exist
ence, possess virtually nothing and
are paid the wages and work tne
hours of farm hands, regardless
of the work performed.
The degree of ruthlessness was
reflected in a recent review in
the party organ, the Peoples
daily, which said that "in order
to break down superstition and to
increase arable land the original
graves are to be removed and dug
deeper. Some factory buildings
and walls of kilns have been erect
ed with tablets from grave
yards."

Moon Orbit

WASHINGTON (UPI) Ameri

sia's next space achievement
might be to send a satellite into
orbit around the moon.
They pointed to a New Year's
statement of Soviet plans to cir
cumnavigate the moon in 1959 as
an indication of the direction of
the Russian space program.
The U.S. scientists said Russia's
new "cosmic rocket, which by
passed the moon, eventually wouid
return to earth. They said, how
ever, it may take hundreds of
years and that it would be unlike
ly that anyone would know when
the moon returned to earth.
The U.S. calculations were
based on Soviet announcements in
dicating that the 3.200-pound lunar
vehicle will go into an elliptical
orbit around (he sun, taking 15
months to complete one orbit.
