Chinese NationaIists
Ask y. n. 10 Condemn
Red Purge Sayings
By the Associated Press

TAIPEI, Formosa, Mar. H.
Nationalist China today asked the
United Nations to condemn and
punish the Chinese Reds for mass
slayings on the mainland, which
it called "a tragedy for the whole
of mankind"
The appeal was sent through
the Nationalist U. N. delegation
by the Control Yuan, the Ma
tionalists' top regulatory and in
vestigative body.
It followed charges by the Ma
tionalist Defense Ministry that
the Reds already have slain /
million persons of Is million
marked for death in efforts to
erase internal resistance prior to
a third world war.
Deliberate Program Charged.
The Control Yuan asserted the
Chinese Reds, backed by Russia.
plan eventual determination of
$50 million Chinese in deliberate
program to cut China's population
of more than $50 million persons
to more manageable proportions.
Taipei newspaper publishers,
asking the free world to take steps
against the Chinese Reds, said
two days ago that the ultimate
goal of death was 200 million.
Massacres already carried out
on the mainland constitute ian
unprecedented disaster for the
Chinese nation and a tragedy for
the whole of mankind" the Con-
troll Yuan said.
It exhorted the u. N. severely
to condemn the Chinese Reds and
to adopt effective sanctions to halt
inhuman atrocities"
Reds Admit Purge.
The fact that a great purge is
actually in progress has been ad-
mitted by the Chinese Reds them
selves. They naturally have given
no comprehensive figures, but have
openly decreed death for any one
who is even suspected of disap-
proving their regime.
The Nationalist statement yes
terday held out hope to the main
landers for an eventual Nationalist
counteroffensive:
"Stick fast to your Beliefs" it
said. Struggle for the eventual
counteroffensive and work for
your own salvation and the sal
vation of the nation"
Formosans with friends and
relatives on the mainland were
increasingly concerned. One we'll

very terrible is going on there" +"

He also visited the commun- ities of Togiak, Tuntulliag and Stu yok that he said needed schools, territorial schools at Dillingham;, Marshall and Bethel and the mis- sion school at Holy Cross.
 HoHlm reports that the enroll ment is high in most of the schools while condition of the schools is good. A great deal of effort is put forth in the summer program on gardening projects for the commun- ities with ANS schools. The beaver and mink trapping season is good in the areas that Holm covered during the 2z days he made the inspection.
 The flying weather was excellent most of the time, he said while his top experience on this trip was flying in a ski plane to Nunivaz Island over open water.

now you'll be able to tell whether we've really done our work well. I realize" McCloy continued, that a lot of people claim we are re- linquishing too much power to the Germans but whom are we relln- quishing it to?-To the men who have spent their lives in jail or in exile because they dared to oppose Hitler-to the men who have their roots deep in the principles of the Weimar Republic. We are not relinquishing any allied powers to the Nazis. Of course, you may read in ycG~ paper about some dogcatcher or minor official who is a former Nazi, but you won't find any former Nazis at the top.
 If we are to bui Id firm foun-
 dation," McCloy concluded, We have to give these men gradual power. Some time or other, these
 men and the government they are fpuilding will have to stand upe and
 take the big test. We know that.
 We don't know whether the test will be Communism or Nazism, but we know that test is coming. Then we'll know how well we have built. "

McCloy Has Difficult Job

The biggest problem facing the United States and the world today is how to avoid the mistakes of both 1923 and 1936-how to draw a line midway between crushing Germany as in 1923 and rebuilding the German military and their lust for power as in 1886.
 The man who has the difficult job of guiding Germany on this delicate course is John J. McCloy, a former New York Republican lawyer who served as assistant secretary of war under Henry L. Stimson. He has some of Stimson's passion for making the world a little. better. Some Americans think McCloy has been coddling the Ger mans. The Germans, on the other hand. think he has been too tough. When I put some of these ideas up to him, McCloy's reaction was ex- tremely frank.

 Berlin in 1886 was entirely diff ferent. The allies had failed to help the struggling Weimar repub- lie until too late-until the Ger man people, in their desperation, had turned to swashbuckling dic- tator who promised them the moon and who, by 1886, had occupied the Ruhr. built up the German army and, if he couldn't produce the moon, was we'll lqp his, way toward producing the rest of Europe. :. while the allies gouged the German people to pay separations, Wall Street bankers poured loans into German industry and German in- dustrialists in turn placed their bets on the swashbuckler who promised them the moon. so, from starving Germany in 1923 we went to the opposite extreme of rearming Hitler in 1936-and Ber- lin was cocky, confident and sup reme.
 Berlin in 1851 is still of ruins. Though other German cities have made great progress in getting back to normal, parts of Berlin still are like no mans land. In the Rus sian zone are piles of neatly stacked bricks and beside them neat piles of scrap iron, for the Russians have taken the ruins apart chiefly for the purpose of shipping the scrap iron back to Moscow.

 However, some proposals are so simple that any mans opinion is as good any others, as to the need for new laws.

Tough Hurdles Ahead

My own impression is that McCloy has done a better job than could be expected in encouraging democ- racy for the German people but he still has some extremely tough hurdles to overcome with German officialdom and industrialists.
 McCloy has an American resi- dent stationed in every country of the American zone whose job 1t IS to mingle with the German people, hold town meetings every two weeks, listen to their gripes, and encourage them to debate govern ment problems. This is something the German people never enjoyed before and many of them are plea- sed but flahbergasted. These town meetings have been so successful that the Bonn government isn't too happy, It feels the Americans are getting a greater hold on the people than their leaders. McCloy himself has travelled all over the American zone participating in these meetings and letting the Ger mans fire questions at him. lie feels that, if he can get then gripes out in the open and nave a chance to answer them, he VII bave won an important part o1 the battle for a German democrary
 Converting Bonn officialdom tt democracy, however, is tougher problem. McCloy still hasn't per suaded them to revamp the Ger man civil service system, whlcf makes every German Bureaucrat petty quasi-dictator and which tol crates arrests and jailing withou
