THUNDER OUT OF CHINA

Thunder Out of China by two
Time reporters, Theodore H. White
and Annalee Jacoby, is brilliantly
written report on current history
of major importance. 1t is an ac-
count of turbulent changing scenes
In China-what has happend and
what is happening. 1t chronicles
in clear. concise and fascinating
prose the march of events which
will bear directly and forcibly on
our hopes for world peace.
Geographically, Hongkong is not
China but an outpoct of the British
Empire defended by regiments Of
the British Army. Economically,
physically, however, in every way
except government, Hongkong is
part and piece of China and the
people are Chinese.
DISGUST AND CONTEMPT
In Hongkong and in a short visit
to the historical city of Canton we
attempted to understand little of
China and its people. Although our
intentions were OF the best, our
probing into the state Of the Chi
nese nation brought only disap-
pointment, disgust and contempt for
the people which was accumulated
by the prevailing attitude in the
British Army.

Lack Of Understanding Blamed

meaning of Soviet jargon, accord
ing to Snow, has led to numerous
MISUNDERSTANDING in the last war
Such words as democracy, COLA
borator, fascists. imperialism, feu-
dalism and dictatorship are inter
preted differently by the two ma
tons in power today, Snow adds.
The iron curtain, Snow also
insists, keeps the average Russisn
very much in the dark as the Rus
sian has access only to a censored
press and selected books.
Dispelling world fears of q IL
tanic clash between the United
States and the Soviet Union, Snow
reveals that Russia. far from want
ing a major war. is incapable of rous-
ing its people or summoning SUI
ficient resources for conflict
which could only bring national
suicide. Snow quotes Josef Stain
as saying in 1947:
Even If its government were
anxious 10 do so not a single
great power could now raise
large army to fight another great
power, because now one cannot
fight without ones people-and
the people are unwilling to fight.
hey are tired Of war. Above all,
there are no understandable OBJ
jectives 10 justify new war"
Russia knows-and the world
knows-that an atomic warfare
would be the end Of what we call
modern civilization, Snow warns.
Besides, Russia, Snow figures, is not
ready for About warfare having
spent millions in Russian soldiers
killed in the last war, many more
partly incapacitated, and millions
of civilians lost. And six million
homes were destroyed. Full reco-
very of prewar capacities In indus
try, transportation and agriculture,
only under the most favorable con-
ditions, cannot he attained before
1850.
Shows viewpoint program for a
collective peace calls for: I'D open
direct Soviet-American negotiations
for basic political. economic and
military agreements; (2) economic
collaboration with the U.SS.R.;
90 collective security-the price OF
economic collaboration; "a a
common political program; t5) cul-
tural exchange. 8
On paper, Shows plan is well and
good. Pessimistic that we are, we,
however, cannot subscribe whole
heartedly to it principally because
the Russians do not think as we
Americans do along political, eco
nomic and social order. But for a
fellow who has few hours 20
spend, Stain Must Have Peace,
should provide sufficient fuel for a
red-hot bull session.

Just as communism today is a
i topic of spirited discussions among
various American groups, Stain and
Russia today are subjects of grave
concern to the worlds people whose
hope is for lasting peace and to
the worlds political scientists
whose business 1t is TO study and
analyze the behavior of various
forms Of governments.
Edgar Snow, an expert writer
and authority on Far Eastern af-
fairs. performs notable duty of q
newspaper-that of interpreting the
Russian mind-when in his newest
book, stain Must Have Peace" he
supplies us with a means of seeing
them as they see themselves and
as they see us.
In concise, crisp newspaper style
he explains simply but strongly
why the Russians, 10 our way Of
thinking, are acting SO pugnaci-
ously in United Nations ses-
sions. But in presenting the
Russian view, Snow also contri-
butes a five-point program for
collective peace, which means an
amicabIe settlement on differ
ences in regard to ideologies in
favor Of mutual destruction.
In an eloquent introduction, Mar
tin Sommers, foreign editor of the
Saturday Evening Post, argues for
rational and fearless policy to-
ward Russia. Americans as well
as Russians, Sommers points out,
fear encirclement by one or the
other power. Mutual fear and dis
trust are cited by Sommers as the
reason for the demonstration of
force and power in the U. $50
Wet political struggle.
Dividing his thesis TO four chapt-
ers, Snow covers the most pertinent
matters-Why we don't understand
the Russians, AS it looks to Ivan
Ivanovitch, Why Stain must have
peace, and Investment in peace
in 1874 pages, a fine feat if there
ever was one.
Perhaps Shows stand for Russia S
case may be exemplified in his con-
tention that
Russia is q great nation and
has certain vital interests which
would be the same under any re-
gime. We cannot ignore those
interests merely because we dis
like or don't understand Soviet
communism"
Much of our misunderstanding of
other countries, including Russia,
is due to the differences in words
and word-values, Snow writes.
