This Changing World
Some Timely Rewards Might Cause
Chinese Generals to Think Again
} Think Again

Most Chinese specialists, espe.
cially in the State Department, see
the picture as black and white.
They say that since the so-called
Nationalist regime has been de-
feated by the Communists. there
is no other hope except that Mao
will become Chinese Tito to re-
move Soviet influence. A wealth
of arguments is produced to con-
vince the opponents of the depart
ment's policies that this is the
case. The fact that the Nationalist
armies collapsed and that hun
dreds Of generals went over to
the Communists is given as an IL
to support the argu-
ments that the Chinese have been
won over by Communism.
Chinese who oppose Chang Kai-
shek and his Kuomintang smile
at this augmentation. 1t is true,
they say. that after American mil
itary supplies were cut off from
the Nationalist armies in 1947. the
generals made deals. They sur
rendered bag and baggage to the
side which appeared to be victor
iouS.
Bold Policy Necessary.
This was in keeping with a
thousand-year-old tradition. Chi
nese generals always have been
for sale and will continue to be so
as long as they exist. But the fact
that many sold out to the Com
munists does not mean that they
would not consider selling cut to
the nonA Communists under GER
tain circumstances. And it ap-
pears that such circumstances
could be created now by the adop-
ton Of a realistic and bold policy.
What is suggested. in effect, is
that a softening attack by the
Fort Knox Cavalry" be started at
once. In spite Of the bamboo cur
tain lowered by Mao and his
gang, there is continuous contact
between the Chinese on the main
land and those on the outside.
AS soon as the effects of the
softening attack can be analyzed
and If 1t is shown that it has
created the desired situation, O
number Of battle hardened Ma
tionalist divisions, now in Formosa,
can be permitted to land. prefer
ably on the Eastern Coast Of
Korea. where two or three Com
munist armies have been moved
from the south to support the bad
ly-mauled North Koreans.
Rout Might Follow.
A determined attack by the Ma
tionalists, acting as members Of
the United Nations police force,
would rout the Communist forces.
if the preliminary softening OPP
Grafton had produced the desired
effect.
The Chinese generals. who in
the past were unable to with
stand the onslaught of Mao's
forces. principally because Russian
gold had done its work we'll, could
Just as easily change sides.
There is no hope of bribing
Mao, Chou En-lai and q n;:mber
Of other Chinese, who are part
and parcel Of the Moscow cor,spir-
acy. But the others, including
many political and cultural COM
missars. might be induced to
change sides and become Chinese
patriots" again. There are many
preliminary indications that gold
speaks more !convincingly than
any other policy,

Moscow Tie-Up Skin Deep.
The situation in China, accord
ing to those who keep continuous
contact there through the grape
vine, appears favorable for the
Russians and their Peiping pup
Ipets, but this is only on the sur
face. There is deep discomfort
Throughout the country and es-
pecially in the southern and
southwestern areas, where be-
tween 100000 and 100000 guerril-
las are opposing the new masters.
These are not cohesive forces. but
work independently of each other.
Those who do not look at China
from an theological point Of view
contend that fundamentally there
is complete indifference among
the masses as far as Russia and
America are concerned. The Chi
nese neither hate nor love either
America or the q. S. S. r.
But the new masters, after
gaining some support among the
peasants by a distribution Of land
that belonged to the wealthy, have
incurred the enmity of the masses
because of their policy of statisrn.
That is to say the masses oppose
the destruction of family life
which was the cornerstone Of
China's social system-and the re-
placement of family unity by su-
Ipremacy Of the state.
National Conceptions Vague.
There is little, If any, concept
Of national unity in China as we
understand it in the West. But
there has been a concept-thou-
sands Of years old-of economic
and social life centering around
the family. And this is what Mao
TIE -tung now is trying to destroy.
This is said to be the real rea-
SON behind the continuation Of
