SHANGHAI.-Torrents Of wealth
are pouring out Of China in what
economists here describe as whole
sale flight of capital"
A Shanghai trader said bitterly:
The rats are leaving the ship"
In any event the most rigid con-
trolls over money movement fail to
stop the exodus. Anybody with
wealth tries to get at least q part
of it into some safe place.
This flight of capital has been in
progress for q long time, but recent
developments-including the Com
munist successes In the north
have speeded it up.
Every day by plane. ship. donkey
cart and pack, great amounts OF
money move south to Shanghai.
Since the movement Is entirely IL
legal no one knows for sure just
how great 1t is. If the money
reaches Shanghai In the form OF
Chinese dollars, 1t goes into the
black market in an effort to convert
itself into United States dollars or
gold-anything sound. This con-
verted wealth then either moves
abroad by means of checks or
drafts, also purchased on the black
market, which are mailed out.
Million to One
All this has helped drive the black
market value of the American dol
lar to well over / ,00o, 900 to /.
If conversion into sound money
proves too costly IN Shanghai, the
movement continues to Canton
where another effort u made to
convert. In Canton. the quantity

Mr.. Truman singled out Gov.

war, the mountains of printing press
money in China also frighten wealth
abroad.
Who sends this wealth out oi
China? Everybody almost who has
any wealth. Some say even the
Communists.
Even Communists Involved
There has been q rumor that the
Communists have sold surpluses
from conquered areas for Chinese
money, converted the money into
United States dollars and sent them
to Russia to buy supplies.
Not much credence is put in that
story. The Reds need everything
they can get themselves and there
are no surpluses. They are in nc
position to engage in big-scale black
marketing.
There probably is trickle OF such
traffic, but the money more likely
goes to Honk Kong or the United
States. The Reds probably have
few nest eggs abroad themselves.
Other rumors. which may have
small grain of fact, tell of similar
deals by corrupt Nationalists.
Some are even supposed to have
sold American military supplies
probably to the Communists, con-
verted the receipts into United States
dollars and spirited them out o1
China. Again people In position
to know think this trafic Is nc
more than q trickle.
But the exodus OF personal and
industrial capital which financed
the commerce Of China In better
days Is no trickle. It's Q flood.

! of Hong Kong dollars is fairly plen-
tiful and is gobbled up regularly by
this fugitive wealth of the north.
These Hong Kong dollars are sent
again by illegal means-out Of the
country.
The general opinion Is that most
of this wealth finally reaches Hong
Kong, British crown colony on
China's south coast. Some Of 1t en-
ters the fiourishing Hong Kong
trade and some simply goes into the
banks. Whatever the end. the
owner heaves a sigh of relief when
his funds reach their destination.
His wealth Is in sound money and
by China stan. IS, out of harms
way.
Hong Kong Is Goal
Wealth travels In many ways,
shapes and forms. For example,
scores of industrial plants In the
lower Yangtze Valley have been
moved to Hong Kong. It has been
estimated that industrial capital
fleeing China for Hong Kong, either
in the form Of money or factories
since the end Of the Japanese war
will exceed 100 million Hong Kong
dollars ($25, 100000
Six Chinese cotton mills now are
being built in Hong Kong. Several
Chinese silk mills, soap-making,
enamel and thermos bottle plants
already have moved there.
All this represents a flight Of cap
ital not from the Communist
threatened north, but from the
south, which Is supposed to be .
government stronghold.

be retained until 1855 in conformity
with Article 100, paragraph 3, which
provides that general conference Is
to be held in that year" Senor
Arce does not think new organi-
zation is required.
New Zealands Sir Carl Berendsen
strongly favors revision of the
charter to eliminate the one veto
power. "0t) stultifies every pos
sibility of the United Nations be-
coming an effective system of
collective security and restricts it
entirely to the functions Of talk
ing shop" he said.
On the question of new organi-
cation, Sir Carl declared: IF and
when-and I hope we need Motive
must choose between a system Of
collective security which is uni
versal and will not work (because
of the veto) and a system which is
not universal but will work without
the veto) then I shall unhesitant-
ingly choose the latter"
Juliusz Katz-Suchy Of Poland sees
no necessity for charter revision:
The improvement of the effective
ness Of the organization" he said,
must start with improving rela-
tions between nations and, In par
ticular, between the two great
powers, the U. 8. A. and the Soviet
Union. 80 The lack Of collaboration
between these two powers has cast
a shadow on the whole organization
and made funotioning difiicult.
There Is no need for a new organi-
cation. "'s
IF there are failures to settle
some problems, they are caused not
by the structure or aims of the Or
ganization, but by the failure Of
some of the powers to live up to
the charter and to use the ma
chinery Of the United Nations. If
we reject the propagandistic clamor
and have q realistic look upon the
present relations, there can only
be one conclusion.
THE peoples must force their
governments to use the organization
to live up to its aims, to forget their
narrow interests in the name and
the requirements Of international
peace and security"
Charles Malif of Lebanan likewise
saw the chief trouble as basic con-
flicting interests and viewpoints of
the major powers" He said: The
charter, imperfect as it is, would
still work perfectly If only the fun
damental spirit Of trust and CO.
operation prevailed = the malady
is too profound for mere change of
instruments to cure it. The spirit
and the will and the mind must be
reformed first."

Socialism Finds Many
Meanings in

and "Little-endians," Jonathan
Swift illustrated the passion Of men
for cutting one another's throats
over tags, the meaning Of which
they have forgotten or never have
known. Lemuel Gulliver found the
armies of Lilliput slaughtering each
other in q quarrel the source oi
which was scarcely remembered
namely, at which extremity q boiled
egg should be chipped.
Today the war of labels is at full
swing. The vowels and consonants
forming the word Communist" stir
the average member of Congress to
froth at the mouth. The Commu-
nists respond by designating their
opponents as Fascist beasts" Rus
sias official title Is the Union OF
Soviet Socialist Republics. But in
Moscow's lexicon Socialist" is
synonymous with traitor"
What Do the Terms Mean?
Hitler's Third Reich and the
Soviet Union defined themselves as
Socialist regimes" Both were
revolutionary relationships and
police states, using terrorism as a
weapon. National and Soviet social
ism fought a war to the death.
Christian and secular Socialists
grappled fiercely in the recent Ital-
ian election.
The ear is beset by babel Of
appellations, which are terms of
pride or shameful epithets, according
to those who employ them. In addi-
ton to communism, socialism and
fascism, there are social democ-
racy," liberalism" "corporatism,
"falangism" and capitalism"
There are such parties of Catholic
inspiration as the Christian Demo-
Gratis of Italy, the Popular Republi-
can Movement Of France and the
Christian Socialist Union Of West
ern Germany. The British Labor
Party practices state ownership
tempered by individual enterprise.
Just what Is communism What
are socialism, Christian socialism
and social democracy? What were
fascism, national socialism and the
falange? What is the Corporate
State of Portugal? Why does "liber-
alism" mean one thing in Europe
and its opposite in the United
States? How do these various sys-
TENS differ and where do they over
lap? The present article seeks to
answer some of these questions.
Socialism Retreats
Socialism was the first uprising
against modern capitalism, which
stands for the establishment OF pri-
vate property to the utmost possible
extent, but leaves the distribution OF
income to the play Of free contract
and self interest. Socialism ap-
peared after the Napoleonic wars
under Robert Owen in England and
Saint Simon and Fourier in France.
It was the fruit of the industrial
revolution, the factories Of which
created a new class of workers
known as the "proletariat."
In basic theory George Bernard
Shaw has written, Socialism means
the complete discarding of the insti-
tuition of private property by trans
forming it into public property, and
the division of the resultant public
income equally and indiscriminately
among the entire population"
In practice socialism has retreated
from Shaw's position. Even Russia
has rejected as unworkable the
doctrine of equal rewards. Public

Gen. Marshall's confidential let

One woman saw her chance of a

when her camera fell apart, ex-
posing roll of film, as she was
about to snap the shutter.
In addition to the festival per-
