The Great und the Small

AS I viewed with intense interest the
tremendous ovation and fanfare awarded
Gen. Macarthur upon his historic
return to Washington. my eyes were
focused upon disabled veteran of the
Korean war. This young soldier with
sightless eyes had given what I con-
sidered close to his all for our beloved
country. could not help but marvel
at the contrast. He had come under his
own power, insignidcantly, to pay respect
to the great general, who had been
escorted by large motorcade to a
special seat Of honor.
Analyzing this picture of the poised,
well-cared-for general and the insignifi-
cant disabled veteran, it occurred to me
that In the eyes Of God he could be no
less a hero than Gen. Macarthur.

n ECURRENT rumors that Mao TEE
IN tung, ruler of Red China, is seri-.
ously i'll, dead, or on the shelf politically,
are best taken with grain of salt. But
the fact that Mao has not been seen at
any public gathering since January 26
does raise the question Of who runs the
Communist government In his absence.
The answer, it seems clear, Is Liu
Shao chi, Moscow educated Marxist
theoretician who is In a position to con-
trcl the party, the army and the govern
ment. But very little else is clear about
Liu, professional revolutionist who has
had years of experience at keeping in
the background.
The cities and villages of China are
plastered with huge official portraits of
Mao Tze-tung. Only few under
exposed snapshots Of Liu are available.
Almost completely unknown in the West
there have even been rumors that he
is really a Russian-he is no popular
hero even in China. In Communist

As the Kremlin's favorite in China,
Liu's future seems assured. When 1t
became necessary in 1948 to express the
Chinese Party's loyalty to the Soviet
Union, it was Liu, not Chou En-lai, the
foreign minister, who produced ION
Internationalism and Nationalism, I"
which conforms strictly to the Stalinist
line in its denunciation Of Tito Of Yugo-
slavia and the "imperialist West"
In recent months, two major Chinese
decisions have testified to the strength
Of the all-out pro-Russian group Liu
heads. The first was the Chinese mill
tary intervention in Korea. The second
was drastic policy change at the Feb
ruary meeting of the Central Peoples
Government Council, when the "re-
education" policy was abandoned and
the death penalty imposed for any oppo-
sition to the regime.
Mao. who had made good use Of re-
education in building UP his Red armies,
was not present when the decision was
made which set of the present blood
purge in China Liu's harsher policy has
sent thousands of "counter-revolution
aries" before firing squads in recent
weeks.
But the real strength of Liu's claim to
succeed Mao, when the time comes. lies
in the organizational setup Of the Com
munist Party and government. Liu is
only one Of six vice chairmen of the
government council. But three are

Something to Hope For

The public, confronted by an endless success
sion of appeals for its favor and its funds from
independent health groups, will agree with a
hope expressed in the annual report of the Social
Hygiene Society of the District of Columbia.
Some sweet day." said the report, eve may at
tain another goal greatly to be desired, namely,
the intent and ability to give the public rounded
conception of health wherein they will visualize
and strive for the wholeness of sound mind in
a sound body Much current health education
encourages dissection rather than union. There
are the specal-interest agencies to deal with al
most every organ, system and disease, in extenso
and in isolation. Today competition largely re-
places cooperation with a host of organizations
vying for public attention and cash. Instead of
working together toward the goal of an integrated
whole, we find the heart competing with the
lungs, the eyes with the ears, the brain with the
genitalia, polio with cancer, rheumatism with
cerebral palsy ct cetera ad infinitum"

Who's Calling the Signals in China?

Human to teach in primary school. he
continued his party activity on the side.
In 1922. Liu was called to full-time
party work and assigned the lob of
organizing the miners at An-Yuan in
klangSi. It was an ideal test for a
young party worker-important enough
to engage all his energy and skill. but
not so vital as to make bungling
irreparable
The miners. working under brutal con-
ditions. were uneducated but politically
sensitive. Liu went down into the mines
with them and agitated for better work.
ing conditions while he dug coal. He
soon was president of q union which
succeeded in making some gains for the
men.
Liu's knack Of dealing with the miners
won him quick promotion in the party,
and he served for number of years
as trouble shooter among the unions
in the great coastal cities.
From 1927 to 1881 he was probably
in Moscow. studying at Sun Yat-sen
University and taking courses at the Red
Army Academy. The sixth congress Of
the Chinese Communist Party, held at
Moscow in 1928, named him chief of the
labor bureau. He seems to have been
involved in some way in the Russian
expedition against Manchuria in 1929.
Regardless Of details, his primary
loyalty to international communism
was fixed during this period. It has
never wavered.
In 1881. Liu returned to his union
work in China. He made the Long
March with Mao. probably in the ranks
OF the Political Unit. It seems likely
that he was again in Moscow in 1886
and 1887. Back in China, he returned
to his labor field. With his election
to the party secretariat in 1943, he had
arrived.
Today, Liu has great powers over
Chinas industry and agriculture as well
as labor and the army. Tough and
practical. he represents the new type
OF managerial commissar. He plays
major role in ruling China, but it is to
his interest to do it under the shadow
OF Mao. It is impractical to depose a
living legend. Mao may fall LII or 20
into eclipse, but Liu's Moscow -oriented
group needs the backing Of his pres
tige to carry the bulk of the party along
with their program.
Regardless Of what happens to Mao,
Chinas course seems firmly set on the
Kremlin line for Asia. As the Korean
war increases its drain on China's re-
sources, and as the blood purge spreads
terror over the land. the shadowy figure
OF Liu Shao-chi can be expected to
emerge more and more clearly as the
strongest figure in Red China.
