Therefore the Chinese Com
muniSts figure that China must
first become a capitalist nation,
before it can move on to
socialist state.
That's the reason they're
helping small business men in
the liberated areas of China"
Miss Russell believes that
"Chiang's feudal-fascist govern
ment cannot last more than a
few months" Thirty-eight per
cent of China's land area and
population already have been
liberated, she points out, de-
spite millions of dollars worth
of financial and military aid
supplied to Chang by the us.
Contrary to newspaper propa-
ganda, according to Miss Rus
sell, the northern liberated areas
are not under Communist domi-
nation although the struggle
against Chang is led by the
Communists, only one-third of
the public officials in liberated
China are Communists" she
says. The other two-thirds are
members of the Democratic
League, the Kuomintang, or of
no party.
Whats going on in China is
social revolution" says Miss
Russell. THE people demand it
and they won't let us, or the
Russians, or anybody else step
in to run their country. They
want to reform it themselves
now"
That's why Miss Russell
agrees with Henry Wallace's
viewpoint on China. Wallace
says:

certain that the Chinese fiasco
will be the first to drive home
