Peiping Keeps Up Propaganda Claim
That Notionolists' Case Is Hopeless

The Peiping regime pro-
ceeds on the theory that re-
gardless of how bare-faced a
lie may be, it will produce an
effect if it is persistently re-
peated.
Since last fall the Peiping
propaganda organs have been
counting not only the people
of Formosa but also Chang
Kai-shek and his coworkers
in the fortress-islands. The
radio as well as the Com
munist dailies and weeklies
in China and throughout
Southeast Asia are ANNOUNCE
ing that the mother coun-
try" is willing to accept with
open arms the return of the
stray lambs.
Even Premier Chou En-lai
has hinted that the Peiping re-
gime would be glad to offer
Chang one of the highest
positions in the government
that of vice president of a
united China provided he
agrees to vacate the seat which
the Nationalist government
occupies in the United Nations.
When this reporter was in
Formosa last >'ovember the
people of that island, like
their government. appeared to
have only one objective in
mind: Return to the main
land by overthrow of the
present Communist regime.
Chang has a modern and
highly efficient force of some
100000 men, armed with the
latest type of American
weapons. He is anxious to
lead a crusade against the
Communists and is convinced
that once he and his army
set foot on even small por-
ton of the mainland, the Mao
Tse-tung regime will topple
in southern China as far as
the Yangtze River.
Chang realizes, however,
that he will not get permis-
sion from Washington to en-
bark on any such adventure.
regardless of how favorable
conditions in South China may
be. He cannot go it alone
because he lacks the landing
craft necessary for such an
operation.
In recent weeks, according
to reports from the Far East,
Peiping's persistent propa-
ganda has made an impress
sion on some politicians in
Formosa who are becoming
disheartened at the prospect
OF endless exile from the
mainland. They realize the
weakness of the Communist
regime and are beginning to
wonder what is back of the
American Governments de-

to the mainland. Their doubts

Adlai Stevenson, a free man
who has no present need OF the
press. seized the forum Of the
Gridiron dinner last week end
to show the press to itself as
he saw it in two campaigns for
the presidency.
The result has set Washing
ton on its ear. Many of his
hosts. the so senior newspaper
men who make UP the Grid

pitality. The rapier, they pro-
test, is an acceptable weapon
but not the surgeons knife.

His remarks were not provoked
by the atmosphere of the occa-
sion; he had considered them

friends who had warned him
he might be accused OF sour
grapes.
The substance of Steven
sons indictment is that the
press deliberately played along
with President Eisenhower's
peace and prosperity campaign
although it knew the truth
about all the problems which
are now being admitted.
Stevenson tried to get that
truth before the public. Its
indifference he blames on the
press. He is man Of dreams

If the present investigation

a useful purpose. For it is the

term in this era when strikes
are too costly for employers to

Perhaps the most pressing
and most ominous under
current today in our national
life. as it relates to govern
ment and politics, is something
that is showing up in a vocifer-
Gus fiood-tide Of mail TO mem
bers Of Congress.
This is rising tide that we
can best describe by using the
familiar word "isolationism."
1t expresses itself chiefly in
complaints about our foreign
aid programs. A current SYM
boil is the 5000 million for
economic and military aid in
the Eisenhower Middle East
resolution.
1t is manifest also in disap-
pointment with the United Ma
tons which is the symbol Of
international cooperation for
all OF US. because that organi-
cation Is not able TO settle age
old problems overnight.
The current disillusioned
and fretful state Of the ma
tional mind could become dan
gerous to the leadership TO
which our Nation has been
called in world affairs. and
so in the destiny Of the hui
man race. 1t could, that is,
II those who govern US, in
cluding Congress, should take

grams and at the United Ma

opposition from congressional
quarters as well as from the
masses of the American people.
But no American gesture
was made toward Chang. who
even his most severe critics
must admit has been a
staunch and unflinching friend
OF the United States for the
last 80 years. 1t is said in high
quarters in Washington that
Chang does not want to
come here until he becomes
again the undisputed head Of
all China. 1t is hard to ap-
praise the truth Of this as
sertion. 1t can be said by all
those who know him even
slightly that he is a stark
realist who, while anxious to
establish his capital once
more at Nanking, knows that
this may require some time.
Chang is a modest man who
SHES away from pomp and
ceremony and is indifferent
about being invited to Wash
ington. But there are many
important figures in Taipei
and especially among the rich
and powerful overseas Chi
nese" who look upon the
reticence of the administra-
ton to ask Chang to be the
official guest of the Nation
as a slight.
Americas reticence is re-
garded by some of Chiang's
followers as an indication
that. despite the support For
mosa receives from America,
Chang is not welcome in
Washington but is merely a
convenience for Americas S
policies in the Far East. This
is. of course, utterly incorrect.

America is suffering from

DAVID LAWRENCE

Monopoly and tyranny go
hand in hand. and the Amer
ican people don't like either
one. whether power is exercised
by corporations or by labor
unions.
Back in the 1905, the Con-
gress of the United States,
under the leadership of the
Republican Party, became en-
ragged over the abuses Of power
by corporations and passed the
Sherman antitrust law, which
has been on the statute books
ever since.
But today there is another
movement in its incipient
stages which. if Congress is not
intimidated, will result in the
passage of an antimonopoly
law forbidding labor unions
to monopolize job opportuni-
ties and otherwise to use their
power in restraint of trade.
At first glance, 1t might seem
that the antitrust laws should
be sufficient to curb monopolies
of all kinds, including labor
unions, that restrain trade.
but the Supreme Court of the
United States a few years ago,
when it consisted almost en-
tirely of New Deal appointees.
ruled that labor unions are
exempt from antitrust laws
unless specifically mentioned
therein. No law correcting this
omission has ever been passed.
Today a teamsterS union

threaten to take over a city
government and prevent law
enforcement machinery from
prosecuting wrongdoers. 1t can
ally itself with taverns and
rackets in pinball machines
carried on through union Off
cials who lend funds to private
enterprises and threaten to
stop deliveries, for example, of
beer and whisky unless tavern
owners pay tribute to them.
Here is a passage from the

short-sighted policy that

Something of this We saw re-
flected in the votes for the
Russell amendment in the
Senate to eliminate financial
aid in the Middle East resolu-
tion-which luckily failed.
That could be an omen Of
more trouble when the over
all foreign aid bill gets into
House and Senate later. But in
the skepticism over foreign aid
there is something else in
volved. That is the feeling
that the program has been
wastefully executed and, in
some cases. not handled in the
way to do the most good. This
imposes a responsibility on
