CHINA, THE ASSEMBLY PLANT
OF WORLD WAR III
The Japs, in 1887, started a series
| of aggressions which spread into Eu-
rope and was the forerunner of World
War II, so helpless China today is evil
IDENTIFY, so it appears, to have the hon
or, or dishonor, to be the focal start
ing point of World War III. Imperial
list ambition and the scramble for col
onies and world markets is so intense
that the Atlantic Charter" has long
since been scrapped by Great Britain,
Holland, France and the United States
and there is no longer hiding the fact
THAI the biggest armament race the
world has ever known is now in prog
ress, atomic bomb included
There is no denying the fact that
profit is the underlying factor in the
whole situation and the immense pop
ulation and the great wealth of China,
India and the Dutch East Indies is
too big for the people to be left to
work out their own destinies.
China, an Ideal battle-ground
Our presence in China today is ana
Joyous to our presence in Siberia in
1918, the identical same reasons were
given then as are given now: the
preservation of law and order, Incl
dentally to see that Chang Kai-shek
gets all the military equipment he
needs while the American soldier is
not to take hand in the fighting
we did not have enough trouble at
home
Ii it comes to fighting Russia, the
adherents of the get tough" policy
we have stronger military
position now than in 1918, having
both Japan and the Philippines as a
base of operations from where to
launch the atomic bomb. They know,
OF think they do, that when it comes
to showdown the interests of Great
Britain comedies with the imperialist
crowd in United States of America:
20 keep the rank-and-file from getting
he upper hand which her acts in Java
evidently proves.
Sun Vat Sen, in the 1911 revolution,
lad in view a democratic Chinese
government, but after his death, the
Auomlntang was taken over by reac-
ionary elements including Chang Kai-
HEX turning the majority of the Chi
lese people strongly against the Kai-
HEX dictatorship That is the main
eason to account for the successes
# the red armies, enormously called
communists. The fourth and eighth
QUITE armies are no more communist
han is Outer Mongolia and don't even
onfiscate absentees landed estates
Mess the owners are convicted of
reason While their land rents have
cen reduced their taxes have also
cen reduced and many landlords feel
afer under red protection than under
lmost universal extortion and black
larket operations under the national
1t rule.
Most of the losses suffered by the
APPS in China has been inflicted by
nder-equipped reds, even though fire.
uent press reports give the national
It troops the credit, some of their
Ictories being newspaper battles.
My for the aid from United States
Hang Kai-shek would likely be in
hanghai with his Soong friends now
I'D China would have a democratic
)vernment with free elections as
lred.
There is no valid reason why we
lould fear a democratic government
China than Russia does. We can
,ploit China red or white, with no
position from Moscow as the trade
China don't enter into Soviet
hemes at present because Russia
IS her hands full at this time de-
looping Siberia resources and re-
Hiding devastated regions
Of course it can not be denied that
o Soviets are looked at as a model
the Asiatic people, as one of the
nerals in the Chinese 1911 revolu-
N said: when 1 see what the Sow
J have done since our revolution,
feel like we should hide our faces
shame"
To back out of the dirty mess we
, into in China would be no shame,
would be a bigger shame if the
tie and war department have to be
)dded into doing what common
Use should dictate. The soldiers
} tired of the war, SO are the people
home, to make ull-time-employment
starting another war may prove
