China Review BIames
U. 5. Troops Violence
For Anti-Foreignism
By the Associated Press

SHANGHAI, Sept. 13.-The China
Weekly Review, American-owned
and edited, today editorially blamed
courageous conduct" of American
military police and other Army and
Marine troops in China with arous-
ing latent feeling of antiforeign-
ism" and particularly anti-Ameri-
canism among the Chinese.
There was no immediate reply by
United States military authorities.
The editorial said MPs who check
visitors and issue passes at the
Broadway Mansions Hotel, the
Army billet, tote rubber truncheons
although demonstrably one does not
require truncheons to do this job.
MPs keep an eye on traffic conges-
ton and shoe off rickshas and pedi-
cabs blocking parking space. And
here's where the truncheon comes in
handy.
"Eyewitnesses have told how an
MP bludgeoned traffic sense into a
helpless ricksha coolie in sight of all
passersby, most of whom were
Chinese. When these eyewitnesses
wrote strong letters of protest to
MP authorities, the offending in
dividual was removed to another
post but no disciplinary action seems
to have been effected, which Is
tantamount to condoning the &C
ton
The Review said recent actions Of
violence involving American service
men was pouring oil on the fires"
of anti-Americanism. 1t enumer-
ated the prank drownings of two
Chinese by American soldiers in
Marking; the Staying of Chinese
by another soldier in Shanghai and
shootings and beatings of Chinese by
United States Marines in Pieping,
Tientsin and Tsingtao.
