Most top members Of the

that Michael Borodin died in
the Russian East, victim of a
purge, though it was rumored
that Chinese Communist
leaders had intervened in his
behalf.
I met Borodin in Moscow in
the winter of 1928, upon his
return from China where his
mission to bring the Kuomin-
tang into the Communist fold
had failed, largely because it
had overreached itself with
Chinese leaders, including
Chang Kai-shek, who was not
initially anti-Russian. One per-
son with whom he had not
overplayed the Russian hand
was Madam Sun, widow Of the
founder of modern China and
sister of Madam Chiang-Kai-
shek, who came to Moscow
with him. She appeared deeply
humane and sincerely con-
vinced that China's salvation
lay with the Chinese Commu-
nists' and in close collabora-
ton with Russia.

ever influence she could exert
would be for humaneness and
peace. But though her posi-
ton was initially played up
she quickly disappeared from
the news. When the British
Labor delegation was in Pei

her presence at the receptions
rendered them. She speaks
perfect English, has great
charm of a self-effacing sort,
and would be an asset in deal

1851. It went even lower
down to 2.6-in 1852.
After the Korean war was
ended under the Eisenhower
administration, unemployment
went back to 5 per cent. which
is what it is during the present
period Of readjustment.
The figures show that the
Democratic administration was
not able to pull out OF the dol
drums In the sos except by
a war boom. Thus. in 1888,
when the United States felt
the disastrous effects Of a
Worldwide depression, the per-
centage Of persons unemployed
went to the highest on record,
namely, 24.9 per cent. Six
years later. after all the hula
baloo about the New Deal and
its leaf-raking WPA and other
unsound measures, the per-
centage Of unemployed was
still 17.2. or about 9.480. 900
persons without jobs.
It was not until 1942. after
America entered World War II,
that the percentage Of unem-
ployed came down to AZ per
cent from the previous years
9.9 per cent, or 5.560.000 per-
sons idle.
Can America get q balanced
economy with a minimum Of
unemployment without enter
ing a war and suffering casual
ties of American youth? On
the record, 1t shows that the
Democrats have not been able
to do it, but the Republicans
have. That's why the voter
has to think twice about the
propaganda being handed him.

tration, with less unemployed
today than Mr.. Truman had in
1949, has achieved something
most unusual for peacetime.

development in the interest of

Office was strengthened. Legal
services were consolidated. As
sistant secretaries were as
signed specific responsibilities
for direction of various bu-
reaus.
Finally, all of the individual
bureaus and services were
carefully analyzed by groups
OF eminent citizens drawn
from the professions, educa-
tional institutions, business,
conservation interests and
other levels of Government.
The independent decisions
resulting from these surveys
confirmed our initial judg-
ment that decentralization of
the activities of the depart
ment was necessary to bring
it closer to it's working areas.
The majority of the reor-
ganization recommendations
have been approved. Many of
the necessary changes have
been completed or are in the
process of completion. Results
so far indicate that we are
succeeding in bringing the
management of natural re-
sources close to the people
where it belongs.
The direction of all the en-
gineering activities of the Bu-
reau of Reclamation was
transferred from Washington,

casts-which are the official
voice of the Communist die

United States is not included
in the co-existence proposition
which our allies find so allur-
ing.
Our British, French. German
