This Changing World
Britain Slated to Recognize Red Regime
In China Within Next Few Weeks

China's trade may come our way.
And American competition is un-
desirable these days, when Britain
is so anxious to find profitable out
lets for her industries.
Ever since the Communists be-
gan their victorious malch toward
Marking British firms, which have
had dealings with China for rlore
than a century. have been stock
piling goods in Hong Kong. Sirga-
pore and other places in Nle Far
East. They have been ready for
some time to start trading with
the Chinese Communists.
Bootleg Trade Going On.
A kind of bootleg trade had beer
going on for some time. British
consular officers have been per-
mitted by the Communists to stay
unmolested. So have representa-
tives of the old trading houses.
The necessities of the Communist
government are known and the
goods are on hand for immediate
delivery.
The Soviet government has pro-
vided its puppet with an impor-
tant quantity of gold and hard
currency exchange to pc. init re-
numerative trade for at least a few
months. Any competition from the
United States, which is the only
other nation which can export to
China, consequently is highly I'M
welcome.
The British military is fully
aware that Hong Kong is still in
a precarious position. The Gem
munists' plans are well known.
They do not intend to attack that
crown colony right now with mil
itary force. But when the time
comes-probably in less than a
year-there will be an uprising
among the Chinese Of that rich
city, demanding that it become
part of the Chinese Peoples Re:
public.
Although the city now has a
strong garrison, it is doubtful that
British troops would be able to
maintain themselves tor any
length of time in the face Of vio-
lent strikes and sabotage Of the
water and electric works.
But there is no reason, the Brit
ish think, why they should not
make substantial commercial prof
its while the sun is silining-if
even for a short while.

Quite the con- Constantine Brow"
trary. Other considerations i'm
pei our policy-makGs to hold OH
temporarily.
One of these considerations Is
the fact that American public
opinion is still smarting under the
Communist insults. The unwar.
ranted arrest of American Foreign
Service officers, their faxed trial
and their sentencing in Mukden
together with the refusal Of Com
munist authorities to permit any
contact with two flyers captured
Is months ago. force the State De-
partment to delay.
Policy Long Decided.
Top American diplomats are
convinced, however, that the pub
lie will soon forget these incidents.
Then they will be able to continue
a policy which was decided on a
long time ago.
The principal reason the State
Department is not willing to has
ten the recognition of Moscow's
latest puppet is to be found in
London. The British government
has decided to establish normal
relations with the Chinese Com
munists for commercial rather
than political reasons. 1t is con-
WINGED that British industries can
make important profits by trading
with China for a few months at
least.
If America recognizes the Com
munist regime too soon, there is
strong possibility that a portion Of

own. He looks just about 43
which is awful. His face doesn't
have enough character lines ir
it to give him distinction. but has
sufficient to make him look sort
of secondhand.
In most cases his hair is in
what might be termed the moult-
ing stage. He has just enough
to make him worry with and
about it, but not enough to make
him fully presentable. What gray
there is in his hair only makes
him look drab without lending
him the charm of really gray or
white hair.
AS for his figure, if he has kept
it fairly trim he gets no credit
for it because he is not old
enough to have people point him
out and say what an amazing
figure he has for a man of his

publican Party-in short. a man
without a past, politically speak
ing.
AS suggested in his most recent
speech, Ike's platform is attrac-
lively broad and sentimental
back to the virtues OF thrift and
independence and "the simplicity
of our early days." In this ora
torical effort he made the most
direct attack thus far on the
Truman Administration and its
social welfare philosophy when he
declared at dinner of the st.
Andrews Society of New York, a
Scottish organization:
1--WE recognize the degree of
change when we come to see that
the definition of a liberal has be-
come a man in Washington who
wants to play the Almighty with
our money"
Strikes Appealing Note.
Here obviously he strikes an
increasingly appealing note. Then
he got caught up in his own
flights of rhetoric by adding:
1--WE seek the illusion called
security. We think too much Of
luxuries. We want to wear fine
shirts, have caviar and cham
payne when we should be eating
hot dogs and beer
The search for security is cor
rect. It's real and comes from sad
human experience. 1t may be il
lusory, of course. And there is, it
is true, natural and normal
desire in most American families
to enjoy a few luxuries. A large
part of our mass production bust
ness and industrial system de-
ponds on that and encourages it
though it might be conceded that
the advertising designed to lure
us on is sometimes a little thick.
The makers of fine shirts and
the purveyors of champagne and
caviar probably won't mind the
generals remarks. Their business
is a speciality for comparatively
few and won't be hurt. He ought
to get handsome support from the
hot dog and beer people who are
far more numerous.
The General probably didn't see

Hint of Columbia Shift.
It is limited that in pursuance
of these laudable aims, Ike may
soon be relieved of his arduous
administrative duties as Presi-

done by creating the post OF
Chancellor for him and assign
ing him only matters Of large pol
icy.

in the Hotel Statler, with scien-
fists and sportsmen from all over
the continent in attendance.
President Roosevelt called the
first conference in 1886. Last
years conference was held in st.
Louis, Mo, and was attended by
1900 persons.
The conference will be opened
with a talk by Luis Macias. game
chief of Mexico. Because wild
ducks and geese are shot for
market in Mexico and served on
restaurant tables. there has been
much controversy about the Mex
ican situation in United States
sport publications.
AS many American authorities
have pointed out. however, the
entire kill in Mexico is less than
that for the first day Of the sea-
son in this country, and If 1t
were not for the American tourist
there would be no demand for
wild waterfowl in the restau-
rants south of the border.

New Faces in Congress
Voters Send J. A. Mcclure, Long Time
WoIIingford Town Clerk, to House

Representative John A. MCGUIRE
Of the 3rd Connecticut District
had been elected to eight consecu-
tive two-year terms as town clerk
of Wallingford, Conn, before COM
ing to the House.
Since 1910, he had served as
president of the Connecticut Town
Clerks Association.
Mr.. Mcclure, AZ, a Democrat,
obtained his seat in Congress last
November by defeating the in
cumbent Republican, Ellsworth B.
Foote. He was no neophyte in
State politics, however, having
been chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee.
He was born in Wallingford and
attended Dartmouth College in
Hanover. N. H. He entered the
insurance business in his home
town and was engaged in that
field when elected to the House.
Mr.. Mcclure was active in behalf
of insurance men as a member of
the Legislative Committee of the
Connecticut Association of Insur-
ance Agents.
Coming to the House, he said
he noticed less of the friendly con-
Germ for the welfare of co-Workers
than he had been accustomed to
in Wallingford.
In a speech on the floor, he
suggested a daily announcement
of the names of sick members
of the Houes and the sending OF
get we'll" cards to them by their
colleagues-a custom he said had
proved worthwhile in a business
organization of which he was a
member in Wallingford.
