Is the United States Largely to Blame
For the Communist Triumphs in China?
THE CHINA STORY

THE CHINA STORY
BY Freda Utley. (Henry Regner!
Miss Utley. a skilled journalist
who knows both China and Russia,
sums up the evidence OF the last
20 years and contends that the
United States is largely to blame
for the triumph of communism
in China victory which has
struck back at us with such tragic
force in Korea.
BY turning away from Chang
Kai-shek and his Nationalists as
"reactionary," refusing them arms
in 1916 and demanding that their
government mollify and compro-
mise with the Russian dominated
Red army, we cleared the way for
the present situation, she argues.
Her book is an indictment of our
Asiatic policy which should at
least be read and considered by
its apologists, voluble and silent,
and by others who are uncertain
and bewildered.
One fallacy which our State De-
partment fell into, Miss Utley
maintains. is that the Chinese
Communists really were "agrarian
reformers," intent on bringing de-
mocracy to the country, and that
they might remain aloof from
Moscow as Tito has in Yugoslavia
for several years. But, she adds:
THE Chinese Communist Party
for more than two decades has
proved itself in both word and
deed more completely subservient
to Moscow than any other"
1t could hardly be otherwise.
she points out. when Russian
troops have closed a ring of steel
around Manchuria, China's indus
trial area. and, in defiance of the
Yalta agreement (Which started
all this), have seized the railways
and resources Of this indispensable
area. We naively assumed, she
says, that Chang could make
peace with the Red Chinese and
give them places in a coalition
government, when, recent history
shows, Communists never move in
without taking over.
Our policy becomes more mysti-
flying. she feels, when it is realized
that we discontinued all efforts to
save China from communism "as
acontrasted with the generous,
we'll timed and well-placed aid we
gave the countries of Europe con-
fronted with the menace of COM
muniSm." Even now, she COM
ments, we refuse to accept help
from Chang or to encourage re-
volt in China against the forces
which are fighting us in Korea.
Miss Utley names the men in
the State Department who. she
says, have had most to do with
shaping our decisions in Asia. She
also lists the foreign correspond
|ents, book reviewers and professors
who have spread the idea that
democracy was awakening in
China. She places much of the
blame on "deluded liberals, who
have never understood the nature
of communism or the Soviet men
ace and who therefore imagine
that all we have to do to be saved

Letters to Sister
Of Keats Prove
Literary Find

KEATS AND THE BOSTONIANS

For those who enjoy a little ex-
cursion into literary bypaths.
"Keats and the Bostonians" is the
find of the year. It revolves about
the discovery, by a Boston biblio-
phile Of cache of 81 letters writ
ten by Fanny Brawne to Fanny
Keats, the sister Of the poet. Mr..
F. Holland Day. a Brahmin with a
bear-baiting streak in him, made
Amy Lowell's life a misery to her
by withholding this inestimable
treasure from her while she was
writing her biography Of Keats.
He tantalized her by showing her
extracts from two Of the letters.
enough to allow her to re-appraise
the entire character Of a girl who
was thought by Keats friends to
he a heartless fiirt, but not enough
to refute the critics who sneered
at Miss Lowelrs so-called naivete'
Amy Lowell was one of the most
importunate women who ever
lived in Boston. But Mr.. Day,
whom she called "a silly old hypo-
|chondriac," kept her jumping
through hoops for years. The
idea of the overbearing poetess
patiently waiting on Mr.. Days
endless whims. gritting her teeth
to write supremely tactful letters
is as amusing as it is unlikely
Mr.. Day was wonderfully cross
grained and even treated his
friends with a brisk contempt.
Day gave as the reason for not
showing the letters to poor Amy
that he wanted to publish them
himself. Then when he died he
Iperversely willed that they should
not see the light Of day until 1861

said copyright had reverted to the
legal heirs of the writer anc

tion. Actually, the book is a well
bred scream from first to last and
should charm any one interested
in Keats, Miss Lowell, Bostonians
or difficult people.

AnimuIs and Landscapes

Katherine B. Hobbs is having a
solo exhibition at the new George
town Gallery. 1924 Prospect ave-
nue., through mid-June. Thirty
oil paintings, Is sculptures and a
large number of small objects in
glazed pottery: bowls. platters. ash
trays, candlesticks, and earrings,

about five years work.
Animals are Miss Hobbs forte.
Her horses. camels, bears Zone

breeds, and other specimens of
wild life and domestic fauna, are
the best part of the show. She re-

animals by studying under such
gifted artist-teachers as Heinz
Warneke and Kathleen Wheeler.

famous, however you look at it
march across Georgia to the sea
in 1864.
Reading this intimate re-crea-
ton OF the background. circum-
stances and events Of Sherman's
advance from Chattanooga to Sa-
vannah, you'll probably be struck
at once by certain conclusions.
The two World Wars, to say moth
ing of such interim wars as the
Korean, have made anything that
happened in the Civil War seem
tame, indeed. In World War II,
for example. Sherman probably
would have been considered
benevolent commander who went
out of his way to spare the lives
of civilians. However tough our
private war got toward the last,
there were no planes to destroy
whole cities and the atomic bomb
was not even a fantastic dream.
Perhaps it was because Sher-
man was q military realist in a
day which saw the last gestures
of chivalry in warfare that he
emerged from the conflict as the
South's public enemy No. l. a
reputation he had to share in
New Orleans with Ben Butler,
Generals on both sides clung to
rules of sportsmanship that would
be forgotten in future wars. In
the South, particularly. where Sir
Walter Scott was not only read
widely but believed, the stilted
maxims Of a chivalry that never
actually existed anywhere. were
repeated by a waning aristocracy.
Sherman was not regarded by his
own men as a forbidding or severe
commander. .-.
He ordered Atlanta evacuated
and burned. and yet he wrote the
Mayor, in response to a bitter
protest, q. myself have seen
in Missouri. Kentucky. Tennessee
and Mississippi hundreds and
thousands of women and children
fleeing from your armies and des-
peradoes, hungry and with bleed
ing feet. Now that war comes
home to you. you feel very diff
ferent. When peace does come,
you may call on me for anything.
Then I will share with you the
last cracker. ;"
The general did have a reason
Atlanta was one Of the two chief
arsenals of the Confederacy, with
Richmond the other.
There was less excuse for the
later destruction of Columbia,
S. c., after Sherman had promised
to spare it. Assailed later by the
Confederate general, Wade Hamp-
ton, Sherman always insisted that
1t was not his fault and contrary
TO his orders. He blamed the pill
lage and burning on some of his
soldiers. who found a plentiful
supply of liquor.

no wonder that some Of the more
sensitive of them have never felt
entirely at home in their native
city.
Joseph Dever understands all
this and more about the Boston
Irish. His second novel reaffirms
his claim to speak for them as
John Marquand has for the So
called proper" Bostonians. No
|satirist, though, he sees more
cause for tears than laughter in
the enduring emnity between
politically maturing Irish and the
|inheritors of Boston's old culture
as they face each other across a
chasm of different religions and
traditions.
He does not pretend to know
the solution for the stalemate.

|picturing the consequences which
overtake a promising young
Irishman who attempts to take
the best from both worlds. The
scene of the struggle is Charles

Catherine Ronayne, attempts to
carry on her husbands work
through his weekly newspaper and
to impose his ideals on her two
sons. Not domineering in any
crude sense. Catherine. secure in
the knowledge of high motives,
steers Martin into politics and
his younger brother, the gentle
Francis, into the priesthood.
For Martin. a graduate of the
local Jesuit College and Of Har-

erons talk presented the thought that the reasons for apprehension in young men toward becoming a member of the army are three: CD a very natural reluctance to have planned careers temporarily dis rupted CD timidity based upon inn pression and fostered over a period of years by comic trips, the movies and joke books; (3) the fear of the unknown'-which is the biggest req son for a young man to be ner- vous about entering the army.
 "On the positive side" said Major Cameron, T honestly believe that every normal young man will enjoy his army service and will look back upon it as one of his most interest ing and vivid experiences. The army life is a healthy and outdoor one, the work is interesting and some of the army fellows will learn trade useful in civilian life. But the big gest satisfaction from army life is comradship."

The Juneau High School Crim- son Bears won an easy victory from the Douglas High School Huskies last night in the high school gym by a score of 51 to 27.
 The game was a fast one from start to finish, but the Bears were never threatened Half time score was 31 to 13 for the Bears at top. Ninnis and Herb Martin were high scorers for the Bears with 18 and 16. T. Mccormick was high scorer for Douglas with II points.
 The Juneau hign School band was in attendance and a half time fea- ture was seven high school major cites in a marching and baton twirling show. It was a fine per- formance for the spectators. Joyce Hope was the leading majorette and others were Beverly Powers, Connie Mckinley. Natalie Dapce- vich, Lorene Schmitz, Pat Bates, and Arlene Powers.
 In the second game of the eve- ming, the Arctics gave Mikes a scare by making a contest of it, and had the lead through most of the game. Mikes Mite Owls won out, however, in the last quarter by the score of 53 to AT. The lead switched several times throughout the game. With a few minutes to go Mikes pulled ahead and put the game in the bag. Merritt scored Is, and Aase 10 for Mikes. Borbridge scored g for Arctics.

 The first major football power to abandon intercollegiate competi- tion for the duration of the na- tional emergency, St. Mary's deci- sion came as a stunning jolt to fol- lowers of the Catholic school.
 For an unbroken period of 43 years, on football fields from the Pacific coast to the Polo Grounds of New York, the Gael teams have fought it out with the best of them. Not even during World War II did they give up the game.
 But now, confronted with sports deficit for 1850 which some say may run as high as $150o00. the St. Mary's board of trustees "has with some reluctance reached the de- cision, that intercollegiate football and baseball must be discontinued" '"
