Red Test in Shunqhui

The Chinese Red Army has taken
Shanghai This great metropolis Of trade
and commerce, the largest city, not only
in China but In all Asia, with its teeming
millions of urban folk, Is now under Com
rnunist rule It remains to be seen what
the Reds will make Of their prize. For
Shanghars very existence, as a metropolis.
depends on commercial contact with the
outer world. And that means chiefly the
bourgeois capitalist" West which the Com
munist affect to despise.
1t is the West which brought Shanghai
into being. A century ago there was
nothing there except sprawling Chinese
town set alongside muddy creek flowing
lazily into the nearby Yangtse River. Just
outside the walls of the Chinese town, the
British had recently obtained the conces-
sion to establish treaty port" where
they and other Western merchants could
do business according to their own meth
ods, enjoying extra territorial rights to
protect them from Chinese exactions.
Within a generation thereafter, Shanghai
was fiourishing city built and run along
Western lines. BY the close Of the nine
teenth century it had become a center OF
world trade The dredged-out Whangpoo
Creek was crowded with shipping while its
river front, the famous "Bund," was lined
with stately banks, off1ce buildings, clubs
and hotels It's Western-run civic admin
istration and public utilities were of the
best. More than $1,000, ,ooo, 900 of British
capital, $30o, 900 900 American, and other
western capital in varying proportions
had been invested in this prosperous enter
prise.
Today, Shanghai is in chaotic stagnation.
The plant still stands impressively, but the
ifeblood OF foreign trade and Western
enterprise is absent. Furthermore, Shang
hal has been going downhill ever since
the japanese occupation of 1887, and its
economic decline has been further accel-
Grated under the control of the Nationalist
Government which took full charge when
the japanese were ousted In 1945.
II the Nationalists did 30 poorly, what
may be expected of the Communists, who
have had no experience in running big
cities and no contact with the West? Resi-
dent westernen take dim view OF the
outlook. Just before the Communist cap
ture, AP correspondent Fred Hamson re-

Finds Structural Fault
In Hospital Window Favers Suicide

To the Editor Of Tns star:
In addition to the doctors comment on the
death Of James Forrestai. I beg 10 b per-
mitted to give my own views on this very
sad matter.
The structure of the windows facilitates
any suicide plunge. Yes. more than faeiii-
tates. 1t Is an invitation TO suicide because
these windows do not have the important
breastwall. breastwal1 on the window
frame should be fixed much higher. maybe ~
much as three quarters Of . yard higher than
1t now Is.
recall when ! was working as . physician
with the Austrian army In the occupied xons
of Italy-about 80 years ago. At that time
I was able to prevent the suicide OF two SOL
dierx who. mentally III. tried TO Jump from
the hospital window. was able TO nrevent
these accidents only because the bre0ktwan
of the hospital windows had been constructed
high enough to render very dif,cuh the ef-
forts Of mentally III men 70 throw themselves
out. think, therefore. that II the breast
work of windows OF the hospitals cannot b
f,xed any higher. then at least the windows
should be inclosed with iron lattice work.
