Freedom Of Asia Nay Depend on Crucio Economic Race
By Earl H. yoss

India and Red China are now
moving away from the starting gate
IN an exciting race for economic
superiority in Asia. The outcome
OF that race may well turn out to
be the crucial factor In the economic
phase Of the cold war, which Sec
retary Of State John Foster Dulles
believes We now are entering.
Which way the uncommitted ma
lions OF Asia jump-toward Com
munism or away from twill de-
pend very much on the relative
success Of India and Red China in
bringing prosperity to their people.
One Indian statesman put it this
way:
"Our ability through democracy
to surpass, or at least equal, China's
development under q dictatorship
will determine our ability to survive
as a free nation. And II We fail,
Asia goes, too"
How Is the race coming?

by Censorship and soft STATISTICAL
reporting. But We can see well
enough TO know that, IN these eaz1y
stages. the race b close.

ceeded in slowing the rise in living
costs and in helping the peso to
recuperate some of its old value on
the free market. But he cannot
count on full congressional support
of his plan, and that was what
stopped some of his predecessors.
Despite the confusion and uncer-
tainty in which Chile is living today.
the Communists have made little
headway. President Ibanez, how
ever. may be another story. When
Congress rejected the state of siege
which Senor Ibanez had imposed
some months ago to meet a general
strike. Minister of the Interior
Olavarria commented. There are
generals who have lost a battle, but
won a war"
That enigmatic statement, taken
with President Ibanez' past record
and reputation for direct action,
has many Chileans and foreign OBJ
servers worried. For If President
Ibanez runs true to form, one more
Latin American country may take
the quick and rocky road to dicta-

The different reactions to Mr..
Oistrakh and Mr.. Khatchaturian Is
an example. The musicians were

Soviet Friendship Month.
Other Soviet visitors to London

Russian opera singers also appeared

Other Soviet groups. perhaps.
have made better impressions. Sail

and lost gracefully to Wolverhamp-

This. of course. appealed nightly
to the British man-in-the-Street.
The Soviet government made q
similar appeal on an official level.

group to Moscow to study the So
Wet government.
Soviet Premier Malenkov, aban.
doning the old Stain fanfare, re-
ceived the members Of Parliament
in a modest Office.
'Malenkov wore a dark blue busi-
ness suit. and acted quite civilized"
recalled one member of the British
delegation.

Red personalities-tllougflt the trip

attempt at cultural co-existence.

The report added:


Pr Examination in the dressing

knocked out usually reveals an
emotionally upset young man who
answers questions readily and ra-
tionally q. Rarely will the fighter
admit dizziness or headache. the
chief complaint being that the fight
was lost"
Blow or FoV?
The study also showed that "the
amount of damage that may be
inflicted to the brain by a blow to
the head with gloved fist -. rarely
produces cerebral changes demon
strable by any test that we have at
present time" They said five deaths
which occurred In 26 years in New
York resulted not from the punch,
but from q fall backward as a
consequence Of blow to the head"
At least in the two doctors study,
printed recently in the American
Medical Journal. it was rare indeed
when a blow landed flush on the
button in any fight. Observing slow
motion pictures of each fight, the
doctors said that most blows to
the head were short of their mark
or detected by the opponent" It
was estimated one In a thousand
hits the mark.
Yet the one In q thousand can re-
suit in death.
Apparently to stop deaths In the
ring more is needed than plushy
canvases, head gear and heavy
gloves. Whether the constant fight
fan cares particularly Is still an
other question.
Until better medical determine
tions Of what man can take are
arrived at, deaths are certain to
continue in the ring.
The same determinations are
needed in other areas-far apart
from the brutal business Of boxing.

IA per cent in her first three years

that Is significant, because it trans
lates into some improvement of
living conditions for the masses.
In Red China. there are no ma

actually they are not yet important
from a welfare standpoint. For 10
years or so the Communists have no

people. They intend to turn 1t into

The four factors which India
stresses are the four which likely
will impress the Asian fence-sitters
the most.
Here is the box score on these key
items:
1. Food. India's three-year In
crease in agricultural production has
been Is per cent. Over the same
period. China increased hers less
than 20 per cent. Rice output IN
China went up 19 per cent, wheat
production IS per cent, while the
relatively small soybean output
gained go per cent.
2. Clothing. India's rank as one
of the ten top industrial nations is
derived directly from her cotton
spindleage, developed largely under
British rule. She has twice as many
spindles as China, a tremendous
head-start when one remembers
Indias smaller population. India's
cotton cloth output increased only
Is per cent. therefore, in the 1850
1853 period while China's gained

Soviet composer Aram Khatcha-

an orchestra playing his own
music-but London music critics
sneered that the show was vulgar.
Soviet violinist David Oistrakh

These are the fiercely independ-

Ever since Joseph Stain died. the
Soviets have been quietly promot-
ing cultural exchanges with Britain.

The result is a quiet. UNDER

deaths-more than any other sport.
Whether death was caused by
blow from a fist or the blow that
resulted when boxer hit the can

studies. But some evidence of brain
injury was observed in each case.
Additional studies of the dead
fighters revealed other brain dam

in some cases throughout the brain.
These minute injuries are supposedly
present in the boxer typed punch

The punch-drunk fighters, those

hemorrhages. They shuttle. talk

almost anytime. Yet some doctors
maintain that the punch-drunk

Broin-Wove Tests
In another study of possible brain

before and after their fights with

patterns and picks up gross damage
in brain tissue.

These fragmentary figures are
enough to indicate that it is still
anybody's race. Not the least of
the factors involved will be the
help each country gets from abroad.

to pass on the benefits of their ex-

The Starting Point

At the risk OF indulging IN wiShful
thinking. 1t might be added that the
Chinese horse seems to have started
with these handicaps:
. Population. Although India and
Communist China have similar rates
of natural population increase. In
dia seems better able to absorb the
expansion. India, with its 358 mil
lion people Q950 census, has only
about 575 persons for every square
mile OF, cultivated land. China. with
her 582 million, is estimated to have
about 1900 persons per square mile
over twice as many az India.
Q Armed forces costs. India main
tains an army Of only 250.000 men,
plus q small air force and navy.
Red China has an army Of around
3 million. another million as
sorted militia, plus q mushrooming
air force and modest navy.
. CollectivizatiOn. Mao Tse-tung is
bent on the Soviet method Of agri-
culture. It's destruction of individual
initiative is generally judged to have
been the principal factor in reduc-
ing Soviet agricultural output 20
per cent during Stains first Ave
year plan. India Is taking the free,
democratic road, giving a much
looser rein to individual initiative.
Q Hope. Red China frankly admits
that it plans no increase in the
standard of living for the individual
during its first f1ve-year plan. The
Chinese peasant has no hope. In
India, however, the goal is to double
the income per capital from $50 to
500 per year in span of Is years.
0 Power. India has twice as much
power capacity per capita as China.
o Cement. Important to countries
building power dams. irrigation
bitches, and planning to build better
homes, cement production in India
is more than twice as much per
capita as in China.
. Coal. India's annual output per
capita is 213 pounds compared to
China's 200.
Q Pig iron. India's output per per-
son is IL pounds to about 6 for Red
China.
Q Crude steel. midas output per
capita is just double that Of China's.
The Communist Chinese have
some compensating advantages,
however:
. Concentration on heavy indus
try. Red China has set herself the
stiff goal of 4 million tons of un-
processed steel for the year 1858.
India, on the other hand, isn't
shooting for any more than 165
million tons at roughly the same
time. Red China's broader indus
trial base-acquired at q cost OF
painfully heavy investment-will
give her an advantage in the longer
pull.
. No unemployment. 1ndia's free
society has developed an unemploy-
ment problem. About half o million
(not many for country Of 358
million) have applied for Jobs at
government employment offices. and
