when Chou En-lai sent his next
protest against Formosa. we
would dispense with the words
"treacherous clique" which must
always frame the name Of
Chang Kai-shek in any Peiping
announcement, and the resultant
version would make much more
sense to Western readers.
Would Explain Phrases.
This agency, which 1t was on
the tip of my tongue to propose.
would produce a handy little
dictionary to explain phrases like
peaceful co-existence,'s which
means one thing to us and some
thing entirely different to its
Moscow inventors.
It would point out that "a
glorious ally" in Chinese means
the Soviet Union: that imperial
ism" is anything Britain, the
United States or France attempt
abroad: that friends of China"
are those who never question
propaganda: that liberation"
means China's bloody revolution
and that history" only began to
be correctly written when Mao
Tse-tung picked up his pen.
Yet what was the use? The
mass of Chinese are not capable
yet of following such abstruse
ideas. Even senior officials take
every word you utter at its face
value. So I raised my glass in
stead to make my first and last
speech in Red China land how
the comrades hate that word

ito the only people I have never
heard toasted in all these travels.
through China. I think Mao
Tse-tung and Stain and Gen.
Chu Teh and all the rest Of
them have had more than their
fair share of baptism In vodka.
Now I'd like to pay tribute to
those anonymous, ragged, under
fed millions of Chinese who
never got to functions Of this
sort and who will never enjoy
the glamour or the power, but
who go on struggling neverthe-
less to make something new and
prosperous out Of this fascinat-
ing land of yours"
I suppose IL was a pompous
and silly speech but suddenly I
had remembered passing a
peasant woman that day as she
cut waffle sticks in q muddy
field. She was singing, and every
line of her song ended in chok-
ing sobs. 1t had been her only
way of mourning a child who
lay dead in the mud shack be-
side our road. In her song was
some of China's ageless tradedy.
A silly speech, and yet the COM
rades were smiling and nodding
and touching their glasses all
around me. Perhaps they did
understand.

Fifty days and nights in China

dangerous.
Ached to Get Away.
Somewhere a train whistled
and I ached to be awas on it.
There they sat and suddenly
the hopelessness of it all swamped
me. What could I say that might
be understandable? The one girl
in her drab little uniform. black
hair hanging loosely around a
flushed face, was trying des-
perately to keep up an air Of
festivity. How could I reach her
mind, fed on communism and
the dedication of the new Dem
ocratic Youth league?

Hungarian Communist regime
Broad hints that the Cardinal
would be freed "as soon as certain
conditions have been settled" were
dropped by Hungarian delegates
who attended the 43rd Congress OF
the Interparliamentary U n o n
which met at Vienna in September.
Obviously, the freeing of Hun
gary's No. | symbol of resistance TO
communist totalitarianism could
not be interpreted simply as a
goodwill gesture by the Budapest
authorities. 1t would be motiyated
instead by reasons of political ex-
presidency and self-intereSt.
Political observers here are con
vinced that if the Budapest gov
ernment is preparing to release
Cardinal Mindszenty, it has already
calculated to nicely the political
advantages this action would bring
at home and abroad.
One of the hoped for domestic
effects would be TO divert the at
fention of the psopIe-ths great
majority of them are Catholics
from the Increasingly dismal
economic situation in their coun-
try.
However, there seems little
doubt that the main benefits, as
the Hungarian authorities see It.,
would be in the international
sphere. The release of Cardinal
Mindszenty would be expected,
above all, to convince the people
of Western Europe that the COM
munists have become reasonable
and that co-existence with them is
possible.
Matyas Rakosi, who is still the
mastermind of the Budapest re-
gime, has followed Marshal Tito's
tactics with close attention. He now

Mindszenty what Tito has done
