In Sheep S Clothing

Hi cunning plan that hes beneath the so-caed dis
solution of the Comintern is just coming to light
As communism is and always has been, an inter-
national and a national movement the first dis
closure of what the Red technique is comes in
dispatch from Santiago Chile to the New York Herald
Tribune.
Here is the gist of it:
The freezing of ChiIe'S powerful Communist Party,
the largest outside Russia from further responsibility
to Moscow opens the way for the creation of a great
national labor party in Chile according to labor leaders.
The first move toward the organization of such party,
say these leaders, will be reconciliation between the
Socialist and Communist parties, and steps taken IN
that direction WITHIN FORTY-EIGHT HOURS after
receipt of the Moscow announcement"
T HE article then goes to tell how the Com
L munst-Socalst coalition will seek to absorb The
three other liberal parties the Socalist-La Demo-
cratic and Agraran
Now that is precisely what Earl Browder and the
Reds seek in this country.
BY breaking all ties with Moscow which the Ameri-
can Communist Party alleges II did in 1910 and by the
dissolution Of the Comlnten the Communists have
sought TO achieve a sort of wormlke anonymity
Earl BroWder Is now asking the country TO get rid
Of the DOGGY Of communism that his party
work with the other liberals of the country for
great of the war BY which Browder means the
expulsion Of Germans from Russian SOLD.
T NEEDS very penetrating eye TO see that there is
l now tendency 20 achieve this country the end
that the Ch5an Communist Party is on the road to
attaining that is, q MERGER of Communist Socialist,

The World in ReUiesr:
China as a Great Power Part

Military CaIn

IN ATTEMPTING to find longtime trends
of thought and action in China that would
have an effect upon her participation in post
war society as a great power | have so far
noted two propensites which impressed me
greatly when / first saw China some 40
years ago.
The first of these was China's pacifsm,
evidently resulting from long experience
which resulted in the rejection of war as an
instrument of politics. The profession of
soldier had come to be degraded and despised
The second was a type of practical
anarchism, illustrated by the apparent ability
of the Chinese to get along quite salts
factorly without any formal government.
No great people has ever come so close TO
attaining scientific anarchism as the Chinese
before the Revolution of 1911.
BESIDES all this, l was impressed by the
- democracy of China.
The throne existed in Peiping, but it was
a foreign throne, and while some reverence
attached to the emperor, no mysticism seemed
10 support its claims.
And there was no aristocracy upon which
vital. effective kingship depends.
few survivors of the Manchu regime, in
the idle dukes and Tartar banners" received
a sort of pension or bounty but they had no
function; they received no respect or obedience
and did not really affect the picture Of an
almost perfectly democratic society.
A man could have no better heritage or
one more respected than to be the clever son
of a peasant farmer whose property con-
sisted of perhaps a couple of acres of the good
earth.
He rose TO high position by sort of civil
service examination system which required
years of arduous study.
BY passing examinations, he qualified for
higher and higher official position and dignity.
BELIEVE that what went on in those old
/ examination campuses was the one thing
in China interrupted and incorruptible. and
that it could not be affected by influence or
money.
remember the examination halls in
Canton-a whole village of little boxes, about
the size Of telephone booths, alley after alley
of them.
Into these on examination day, the
candidates for the provincial examinations
were shut up for hours and days while they
wrote their examination tests.
There was no honor system about II. On
the other hand believe there was no method
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-06-19

by which student could receive aid or
practice collision.
The few who passed in these great 4
examinations obtained the highest honor that
one could attain in China-the honor of being
a recognized scholar and one eligible for
official employment.
The final and highest examination was
that conducted at Peiping.
China was democratic, because any bright
young man could try for these examinations,
and, if he could qualify, he might 60 far In
other words, official life, dignity and authority
rested on a merit system.
The same democratic principle ran through
all life.
The best men in China, and many of the
most astute were self made men.
They felt no shame in admitting the
humbleness of their beginnings
In fact, the wealthiest Chinese whom I
ever knew, and he had been head Of all
Chinese in the Philippine Islands, began life
as a coolie, carrying heavy burdens on his
back stevedoring without the aid of winches
or pulleys, and he was proud of it.
NOW although the Chinese people have
IN experienced many years OF civil war and
nearly eight years Of foreign invasion, and
have met this invasion with an unexpected
display Of military qualities, | cannot believe
that in this experience they have abandoned
their traditional love of peace and respect for
civil life and reputation.
| should expect their experience OF war,
even though it prove successful 10 increase
their conviction that il is wastefu de-
structive and unhappy method of attaining
political ends.
And if China becomes truly great state
with great responsibilities for the peace Of
the Far East, it seems 10 be safe pre- 4
sumption that she will cspouse peace and wiiiV
not violate II wantonly.
Furthermore, aggressive war in our time
on great scale is possible only 10 a people
with highly centralized government exer-
cisng authority that amounts to dictatorship
and with suppression of local self government
and autonomy.
These are the aspects Of what we call
totalitarian government and totalitarian war.
II is hard for me 10 believe that the
Chinese people. with their age long conduct
Of social life. without an all intrusive
bureaucracy, without a powerful centralized
government and with their firm reliance on
village and local organization, can be trans
formed into a totalitarian regime.
l should think this was one Of the results
We need not fear IL China develops into the
great power Of the Far East.

Supreme Court Caught
In Mess Of Confusion

The whole Senate would be
given the opportunity 10 turn
down appointees whose chief
claim TO fame and experience is
a Harvard law degree or
career ofworklng in some social
service.
Also, such officials now hold
ing jobs would hereafter have
10 be more polite 10 senators
and refrain from arouslng their
ire in any matter Of government
policy. These would he the
practical effects of the leglSla-
ton.
General feeling against the
typical New Dealer in office IS
stronger in the House than in
the Senate. but the chances of
the bill passing the lower cham
Der are obviously lmpeded by
the Senate assumption Of au-
thority in this patronage mat
ter for itself. The House would
get none of the gravy. This
naturally lessons its interest IN
the Mcclellan reform.
A fair objective analysis
would insist that Mr. Roose-
-Veit,s fears that the bill would
break down the civil service
system are unfounded. as il
specifically is not TO apply 10
any civil service appolntee or
any one in the White House or
E'BI
From the standpoint Of altru-
ism, standpoint from which
no one on any side around here
is looking al the proposal, the
bill might not make appoint
ments any better, but il would
certainly make them different.
BaSically, it would Just give
the senator's friends a chance,
which now is exclusively re-
stricted 10 RooSevelt'S friends.
The friends OF senators might
not he much more aStute. but
they certainly would wear a
different school tie
More important, Mr. RooSe-
welt would veto the bill and il
could not pass over veto in
either house. Thus the existing
patronage situation viii no
doubt continue 70 the end Of
time or Roosevelt. whichever

card, along comes Solid Fuel
Administrators honest Harold,
Secretary IckeS and plaSterS a
fine of A dollar a day upon the
$1,000 coal miners for The five
days on which they did not
work.
But why pcnalize the coal
minors BY the advice and
direction of their leader, John
l.. Lewis, the miners had quit
work and would not cnCroaCh
upon the property Of the coal
operators until a new and salts
factory contract was signed
l imagine the fine Is levied by
1ckes on the assumption that
the mines are being operated
by the L. s. government. and
therefore the refusal Of the
miners 10 work constituted an
act OF revolt against the gov
eminent of the United States.
But the miners are members
Of the United Mine Workers

of Lewis. So II appears 10 me
that II anybody Is 10 be fined II

They are the real offenders

For Gods sake, let us have

If We must make war, we
