This Changing World
British Emissary Is Ordered Home
After Chinese Reds Twist Lions Tail

large profits In the past in that
country.
I They advised the Foreign Once
that China under the Communist
regime could yield vast profits to
the shaken British industry and
trade provided that they got in
ahead of American commercial
houses. These British commercial
establishments had done profitable
business in China for over 100
years, regardless of what regime
existed in that vast country.
Britain's old China hands be-
lieved that despite the definitely
hostile policy of the Chinese off,
cials toward the Western nations,
diplomatic gesture on the part
of the British government would
permit them to get into Commu-
mist China and start business as
in the past. They argued that
China needed all kinds of goods,
from needles and calico to railway
equipment and food.
Warehouses Filled.
British merchants had stored in
Hong Kong and Singapore ware
houses tens of millions of dollars
worth of such commodities, ready
for shipment into China. A mer-
chant fleet was available to bring
to British ports materials which
the Chinese government was be-
lieved to be willing to export.
All this appeared logical, par
ticularly when British officials and
businessmen in Hong Kong gave
assurances that they had every
thing prepared. that the ground
work had been laid and that all
London had to do was take the
first step toward full recognition
of the regime set up by Moscow.
Without further consultation
with the American and French
governments, the British govern
ment announced three months
ago that it had extended full rec
ognition to 'the Peiping govern
ment. But Mao Tze-tung and
his foreign minister, Chou En-lai,
were not impressed. At first they
refused to permit the British rep
resentative Of the Foreign Once
to come to Peiping.
After q month Of heel cooling
in Hong Kong, the British of1icial
was permitted to 60 to Peiping as
a private individual. He spent
two months in the Communist
capital, where he was not shown
even normal diplomatic courtesy,
while the ministers from Hun
gary, Albania and Romania were
dined and wined by the Chinese
authorities.
Now when London fully real
ICES that the lions tail has been
tightly twisted, it has ordered its
unwelcome representative to get
out Of Peiping.

On the Other Hand
Concerning Buddha That Plays

cratic Administration, he should
remember that We are all in the
same boat
It was only natural that the
titular leader of the Republican
party should find the Democratic
Administration largely to blame
for the fact that bipartisanship
in foreign affairs has been dis
regarded in recent months. The
willingness Of the administration
to forgive and forget the speeches
made last fall by John Foster
Dulles, Gov. Dewey's own .candi-
date for Senator, and to make him
now one of the inside group in
the State Department. apparently
hasn't impressed Gov. Dewey as
much as it should.
Means Something.
On the other hand, however
the Governor called for a radical
improvement not only in the at
titude of the Administration, but
of sections of the Republican
party"
That means something. It
means Senator Robert A. Taft
and those disposed to follow his
strange leadership, in the absence
of Senator Arthur Vandenberg.
The Governor evidently shares
the feeling of shame that afflicts
others as they witness Senator
Taft's encouragement Of Senator
Mccarthy and read that Senator
Taft is telling the Ohio voters. in
effect. that Senator Mccarthy is
an abused man, libeled and put
ION trial" by the Government
for endeavoring to do his patri-
otic duty.
Political dopesters see in the
Dewey lectures a purpose to keep
alive the possibility of a third
nomination for the presidency
They see the same purpose in
his decision to delay for some
months any announcement con-
corning another term at Albany
Whether or not they are justified
in this, it does seem sure that
the Governor is disposed, If he
can. to make Senator Taft's third
bid for the presidential nomina-
tion no more successful than the
two previous attempts. Which,
in the light Of Senator Taft's cur
rent behavior. can be classified as
good news, making it possible to
pardon Gov. Dewey for the con-
fusing picture Of the fiddling
Buddha.
