The anti-Communist world has
a dangerously exposed flank in
Southeast Asia.
For the five years since w day
there has been constant and vio-
lent turmoil, warfare of guns and
politics. in the four countries
which lay to the southeast of
China proper - Thailand, Indo-
China. Malaga and Indonesia. To
their immediate west. conditions
have been no better in Burma
while the growing pains and fric-
tions between India and Pakistan
have prevented either or both of
these more advanced and more
powerful countries from supplying
the area leadership which all of
Southern Asia so desperately
needs.
Bearing on Policy
The roots of this instability have
a pattern that is easily recogniz-
able. A hard although relatively
small core of disaffected people in
each country provide a constant
spawning ground for Communist
activities; a broader front of the
populations feel the impelling
though less precise urgings of ma
tionalism. All but Thailand, old
est Independent country in Asia,
have spent restless years under the
colonial controls of the European
powers-Britain, France and Meth
erlands. The self-determination
theory enunciated in the Atlantic
Charter was a key by which these
peoples hoped to unlock the doors
of their political confinement. The
troubles they have encountered
opened an easy way for the Com
munist core to identify their cause
with nationalism. a tactic that has
confused the turmoil locally and
made more difficult it's evaluation
outside the area.

tional facilities. The miners
are subject to company law,
transgressions being tried by a
company court which imposes

The UMHK was formed A
years ago to exploit the mineral
resources of the Congo's Ka-
tanka Province, which is as big
as Belgium.
1t is connected with the So
ciete General du Belgique, most
powerful of Belgium's big four
banking groups. The Belgian
government holds shares in
SGB. which runs at least three
railroad companies in the
Congo, 3 general companies, 2
banks, IL mining companies, 6
plantations, 3 finance COM
panies, II industrial and COM
mercial concerns and l real
estate company.
Mining Is Profitable
The UMHK holds Belgian
government concessions to ex-
plot the Katanga's mineral
riches until March, 1890. It just
about owns thriving Elisabeth
vile, the Congo's second town.
Together with Northern Rho
desia. the Congo produces more
than one-third of the worlds
copper. It also has the worlds
biggest diamond field, covering
more than 100000 square miles
and yielding three-quarters of
the worlds industrial diamonds.
Cobalt, zinc. cadmium, tin,
tungsten also are produced.
UMHK's share capital at the
end of 1948 stood at $59.5 mil
lion. with a working capital of
Sal million. Gross profits for
the year totaled 1888 million
and net profits amounted to
$18.8 million.
So far the combined policy
committee which runs Amer

atomic affairs has secured the
Congo's whole output through
contracts with the UMIIK.
Terms of those contracts have
never been disclosed.

ELISABETHVIILE, Belgian
Congo.-"Boy, when it comes
to uranium, I'm deaf. dumb
and blind"
J. Brock Havron, lanky Amer
lean consul in this thriving
boom town, quietly added:
That's how you'll find most
people in the Congo"
Deep in the Belgian Congo
bush at Shinkolobwe, the Union
Miniere du Haut-Katanga runs
the worlds richest uranium
mine. It is a powerful Belgian
run company in which both
British and American interests
have shares.
When I asked to see the
lonely village where more than
1000 one-time jungle dwellers
are grubbing out about half
the Western worlds supply of
the precious white metal, I met
a blank wall of refusal.
At the spotless headquarters
of tie UMHK, sprawling over
acres of well-kept gardens,
company officials received me
politely. I could visit the large
copper smelling works. any
copper mine, native schools,
hospitals. houses.
Uranium Is Policy Matter
But Shinkolobwe - they
shrugged. The UMHK was not
interested in publicity. I put
my case bluntly to senior Of
ficials. The Shinkolobwe op-
Grafton had been one of the
best-kept secrets of World War
II. but the war was over.
The Atop UMHK official spoke
sharply: Here in Elisabethville,
we do not discuss uranium. The
matters you raise are policy
matters"
What would happen if I got
in a car and just drove to Shin
kolobwe?
You wouldn't get there" He
was right, too.
Shinkolobwe is deep in BUSH

of the Congo's rich Katanga

nation of the circumstances in
each country convinced Washing
ton policy makers that the Ma
tionalist urgings were genuine,
that they were nom Communist in
character and that a fundamental
in our own conduct should be
directed toward convincing the
leaders of the nationalism move
ments that communism was rig
idly incompatible with their OBJ
jectiveS.
It was recognized that the basic
state of revolt was against West
ern colonial domination more
than against an economic way of
life. Indeed, these Southeast coun-
tries are rich in natural resources,
enjoy exportable surplus in food
stuffs and are not plagued by the
poverty and misery that exist in
other parts of Asia. 1t was
recognized further that the ma
tionalist aspirations could not and
should not be suppressed by force,
that if they did not encounter
understanding among the West
ern powers they more surely
would turn toward the Communist
bloc. .-
Traditional American policy has
been to sympathiZe with the aspi-
rations of all peoples for genuine
independence. At the present
time, however, we are firmly COM
mitted to policy of close associa-
ton with the very European

Vienna Cafes
In Distress
BY Eric Gedye

vIENNA.-The news that the
most characteristic of all
Viennese institutions. the cafe,
is in distress will stir SYM
pathetic echo in the hearts OF
the millions in other countries
who know and love the Austrian
capital.
Nearly 10 per cent of Vienna S
1902 coffee houses-the cafe in
Vienna, usually called kaffee-
haus, is much nearer the old
English institution of the "cof-
fee house" than the modern
cafe-are being run without
profit. This was stated at a
general meeting of the Vienna
Cafe Owners Association this
week.
Ever since 1888, when the
first coffee beans reached vi
emma as booty captured from
the besieging Turkish Army,
the life of Vienna has revolved
around coffee cups.
To the cafes, the Viennese has
been accustomed to repair to
read the worlds newspapers
tethered to bamboo frames, to
do serious business deals, or to
plot revolution.
There were different coffee
houses for every group and
class. Some of the great Wen
nese composers wrote the first
draft of their melodies on the
marble tops of tables. Still
today no true Viennese orders
simply coffee" He orders by
one of 20 recognized appel
lations. such as a cup of gold"
"a cup of nut-brown." "a me-
lange." "a Capuchin." a "moc-
ca" and so forth. And still
the old-fashioned Viennese de-
mands his coffee 'as black as
night, as sweet as love and as
hot as hell"
Many factors have worked
together to diminish the glory
of the coffee house. There have
been two long war experiences
Of "ersatz" coffee and saccha-
rine. The worlds newspapers,
in which one could browse the
whole morning for the price of
a cup of black coffee, were re-
placed for five or six years by
Hitler's screeching "Volkischer
Beobachter." Ice cream parlors
and confectioners have COM
peted seriously for custom since
the, last war; wine-drinking in
wine bars has increased; run
ming costs are Duplicating, for
example, costs 10 times the
prewar t1gures-and so do cof-
fee beans. All kinds of new
taxes-amusement tax, drinks
tax, card tax-are levied
Coffee house proprietors are
not going down without a
struggle, and are demanding a
series of concessions. They want
drink tax only to be levied on
alcohol and not. as present, on
lemonade, coffee and coffee
ersatz as well. And they de-
mand the right to compete with
wine bars by being allowed also

presently in Indo-China and one
French spokesman already has
urged joint effort at arms.
The new Indonesian states,
spread over an island area, have
suffered the violent political and
economic pains of immaturity.
Communist inspired instructions
still crop up in guerrilla manner.
Malaga. where half the popu-
lation is Chinese, is beset by an
aggressive force of Chinese Com
munists, requiring rather sub
stantial British military strength
to keep them under control.
Thailand, weakened seriously by
the japanese occupation. and bor-
dering today on a Communist
China, is trying to bring its own
house to order. Its offer to send
troops to join the United Nations
forces in Korea was clear indica-
ton of the commitment and con-

realities, recognize mistakes, ana
change their methods accordingly
Fourteen months have passed
since the capture of Nanking
meant that the Communists had
in effect, captured all China. All
accounts agree that they have
since shown marked ability in
handling their huge responsibility,
particularly in the big cities. for
which their Years in the wilder
ness had given them no prepara-
ton. On the other hand. the
ruthless measures they took to
check the headlong imitation OF
the Peoples Bank dollar, their
crushing taxation and enforced
subscription to Victory loans, and
the intrusion of the state into
retail as well as wholesale business,
had paralyzing effect on in
dustry and caused widespread un-
employment.
Asrarian Reform Law
Nowhere was the outcry more
ominous than among the peasants.
Even the distribution of large es-
tates among them brought its own
difficulties, owing to the old rela-
tions between landlord and tenant
peculiar to every province. But
more than this, taxes hitherto un-
known were imposed, and grain
was confiscated to feed the army
and keep labor quiet in the big
towns. In some districts there
have been open riots.
These grievances took up most
of the fortnight's discussions at
the recent half-yearly meeting OF
the National Committee of the
Peoples Political Consultative
Conference - China's Communist
equivalent of a parliamentary as
sembly. AS Mao Tse-tung said,
the peasants are four-f1fths OF the
population; China depends upon
them, and their welfare is the con-
Germ of every other class.
The outcome of the National
Committees debates was a new
agrarian reform law. which con-
tains some striking clauses. The
existence of rich peasants. who
have some of their land cultivated
by hired labor, is to be allowed;
and land used by its owners for
industry or commerce must not be
confiscated. ia
