By JOHN RODERICK

HONG KONG.-There's an old
Chinese saying: Bitter medicine
is good for disease, and sincere
reproofs, though grating on the
ear, are good for conduct"
The Communist rulers Of China
today are plagued by an illness
which could be fatal. The masses
lack confidence in the leaders.
Red chairman Mao Tze-tung
himself has prescribed the bitter
pill which might check the dis
ease. 1t is criticism, sharp and
trenchant. of the Communist
Party.
Mr.. Mao outlined the conflicts
he called them contradictions
and laid down a course of action
in a secret speech to party chiefs
last February 81, only recently
made public. In 1t he made these
two statements:
I'VE are confronted by two types
of social contradictions-contra-
dictions between ourselves and
the enemy and contradictions
among the people" And, LET all
flowers bloom, let hundred
schools of thought contend"
Having thus stated the diff
Guilty and opened the door, the
party ordered its leaders to get
out and work with the people.
so they could better understand
the masses problems.
Into the Fields
Officials by the thousands
hauled themselves out of their
chairs and numbered out into the
fields. factories and roads for a
stint of manual labor.
The campaign in behalf of more
criticism started bit more slowly.
The critics had to be urged and
coaxed. Party leaders had to as
sure them they would not be pun
ished for their views.
When the criticism started, 1t
was a newspaper which led of.
The Shanghai Wen Hui PGo called
a forum for reporters to air their
grievances. They complained CT
rude interference and unreason-
able restrictions" in covering the
news. In some cases, they said,
access to the news was restricted
under the pretext Of guarding
State secrets.
From this start, the campaign
gained speed. Soon it reached the
universities, the writer's unions.
labor organizations and the armed
forces.

Chinese Reds Bid for Criticism
Draws Enthusiastic Response

tackled Soviet Russia. The Rus
slams, said the former 'Yunnan
warlord. were more imperialist
than the United States. Further
more. why did they insist on re-
payment of the loans they had
made China during the Korean
War? Wasn't China defending
Russia'S interests and those of
socialism in general?
The Porty Responds
Soon after these candid criti-
ciSmS, the party swung into action.
It did not move directly but
through the very organizations to
which the offenders belonged.
Meetings Of the minor parties
throughout the country denounced
the heresies of Messrs. Chang,
Chan. Ko and company.
The protest meetings were fol-
lowed by a series Of long editorials
in the Peoples Daily which at
tackled the "rightists" who had
been guilty of questioning the
sanctity of the Communist Party.
1t said the criticism campaign
would continue, but a line of
cleavage had to be drawn between
those who were well-intentioned
and wanted to help communism.
and those who plotted to over
throw it. It called for counter
criticisms.
Though he may have antici-
pated outspoken criticism, it is
believed that Mr.. Mao himself
was astonished by the vehemence
and quantity of it. Faced with a
nationwide cutlery against the in
competence, arrogance or dis
honesty of younger party mem
bers, he ordered recruiting for the
Communist ranks halted for 1857.
With IL million members, the Chi
neSe party is the worlds biggest.
Observers here are inclined to
believe that the goal or letting all
flowers bloom" is the preliminary
step to a thorough housekeeping
of the Communist structure.
Many persons regard the cam
paign as a sure sign of Chinas
strength. even though many weak
nesses are being uncovered. The
party must feel that it is secure If
it can afford to indulge in such a
ticklish undertaking.
When the shouting has died, Mr..
Mao hopes that communism's grip
onethe 600 million people of China
will be tighter than ever before.
There is a good possibility that it
will be.

erty by the person adjudged its
owner in the trial on the merits"
Since the early days Of the Re-
public. equity jurisdiction has
been expanded broadly. although
many individual States have ex-
tended the right of jury trial,
according to Senator Irwin, ito
issues of fact arising in actions
of an equitable nature"
Because the use of the injunc-
ton is susceptible to abuse. the
Southerners warn, any such new
extension may have serious con-
sequences in the future and can
apply to all Americans, not Just
Southerners.
Senator Erwin says that parallel
to the present proposal can be
found in the oppressive measures
of George III against the Ameri-
can colonists prior to the Revo-
lutionary War. He cites the appli-
cation of the Sugar Act and the
Stamp Act, which were made
punishable by an extension of
the jurisdiction of the admiralty
courts, in which there was no
provision for jury trial.
Conformation Denied
AS the civil rights debate has
progressed. the Southerners have
pointed to other denials of basic
rights which they claim the bill
would allow.
Because of the nature of the
proposed proceedings. defendant
could not confront and cross-ex-
anime an accusing witness. Such
a defect, say the SouthernerS, be-
comes most undesirable when it is
recalled that restraining orders
and temporary injunctions are
usually issued on pleadings of par
tisan lawyers and attested to by
partisan witnesses. OF course, the
defendant may purge himself Of
the contempt or in the case of
voting dispute. the issue may be
declared moot after the election.
If the complainant votes.
1t is further argued that the
proposed law would permit a per-
son to be put in jeopardy twice
for the same offense. For instance.
say the Southerners. man could
be convicted and sentenced to jail
for year for civil rights violations
under existing statutes, and subse-
quently sent to Jail for the same
offense under a contempt sem
tence. In the second case. his
Imprisonment could be for any
number of years and his fine I'M
limited. since the judge is limited
only by what Senator Erwin calls
the vague and nebulous provi-
sionS" of the Eighth Amendment
prohibiting excessive" fines and
''cruel and unusual" punishments.
The bill. then, would deny these
rights. according to the South
ernerS:

has no mass support: restlessness
is plain. But the Red leadership
will conform to Moscow's dictates,
and Moscow will take special pains
to avert any open display of dis
cord because Of the Importance
of the German question to inter-
national politics.
HUNGARY-The Janos Kadar
government will be strengthened
by the Kremlin changes and will
probably ease off the prosecution
of Hungarians charged with COM
plicity in the abortive revolt Of
last fall. Nonparty movements will
continue to be banned, but con-
solidation of the Kadar regimes
security will probably bring a
general softening of attitude.
There is already apparent a quiet
move by the Hungarians to restore
good relations with the West,
particularly with the United
States. This is true despite the
sharp diplomatic exchanges that
have caused the withdrawal Of
American diplomats from Buda-
pest and the ousting Of certain
Hungarians from the United
States.
POLAND-For the time being
at least, a continuation of the
national communism" program
led by Wladyslaw Gomulka. party
chief. But Mr.. Gomulka, while
firmly frustrating attempts of the
old-line Stalinists to regain power
in the party councils. will just as
firmly suppress the rising tide Of
Polish opposition to Russian ties.
The lesson Of Hungary will be
hammered home.
ROMANIA-Already two prom
inent Stalinists - Constantinescu
and Chisinevsky-have been GUST
ed from the Romanian party's
inner councils. The purged Ana
Pauker's adherents will be in
more trouble. There will be a
period Of intense ferment inside
the party, while the old-line pro-
fessionals and the relative new
corners. many Of them bitten by
the Polish. Hungarian and Yugo-
slav nationalism bug. contend for
supremacy. Non-Communist ele-
ments will support the latter.
Major changes in the leadership
at the national level are viewed
as likely within weeks.

munist. is YUGOSLAvIA, where

There's Quiet Optimism at Stote

trend in Moscow. High Yugoslav
officials have already set out for
the Soviet Union, ostensibly for a
vacation" in the Caucasus. But
American officials expect they
will wind up in Moscow before
they leave Soviet territory.
Marshal Tito, it will be recalled,
was reported to have been vaca-
tioning in the Caucasus when he
was really in earnest conversation
with Mr.. Khrushchev over the
Polish and Hungarian revolts
against Soviet authority.
Expansion of East-West con-
tacts-not only exchange Of ex-
perts in various fields, but the
proposed radio-television ex-
change-is another avenue which
may have great possibilities.
American officials are sure that
the past expansion of exchanges
was arranged over the vigorous
objection of Mr.. Molotov and
possibly of Mr.. Kaganovich.
These are the principal areas
where Soviet policy has already
been "liberalized," and where
cautious, slow-moving extensions
now seem possible If Mr.. Khru-
shchev's hand is reinforced as
powerfully as now seems likely.
The Other Side
But there are some things
American officials do not expect.
They do not expect Mr.. Khru-
shchev to be any more lenient
about giving UP control Of terri
tory.
The Communist Party secretary
has been at great pains to en-
phasize to our representatives in
Moscow that East Germany is
not negotiable. After all. how
could Mr.. Khrushchev permit free
elections in East Germany and
not allow them in the Soviet
Union itself? The Soviet presidium
and Central Committee are still
very far. Of course. from permit
ting free elections.
Last November's experience in
Hungary showed Moscow does not
intend to give up so much OF its
influence in any satellite that
an anti-Communist government
could be set UP there.
Nor can the Soviet Union be
expected to renounce any i'm
portant military advantage it now
has. The possibly decisive assist
which Marshal Georgi Zhukov
gave Mr.. Khrushchev at the time
Of the "anti-Party" challenge
indicates to Washington observers
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-14

that the military still holds a
key to the future OF the Soviet
Union.
Gen. Zhukov is believed to be a
conservative" like most Western
military men, who likes to keep
his best weapons, not scrap them
before he has used them or got
something better. That does not
improve prospects for disarma-
ment concessions.
There is even the possibility
that the civilian or industrial
decentralization now under way
would result in such fragmenta-
ton of Communist Party power
that a military dictatorship could
slowly evolve in the Soviet Union.
This is an Isaac Deutscher
theory that has some standing
among those who make long
range projections in the American
Government, although the more
hopeful speculation that political
power will simply be diffused
seems now to be more widely
accepted.
For military reasons. as well as
Communist Party reasons, few
observers expect the Soviet Union
to stop fishing in troubled Middle
East waters.
The Middle East is the soft
underbelly" Of the Soviet Union.
militarily. The Communist leader
ship does not want 1t to fall any
more fully under the influence Of
its enemies. In fact, 1t seems
determined to remove what West

have been born. There Marshal
Titos regime will undoubtedly
gain in prestige and strength
through the developments in Mos
COW. There will be early efforts
made by the Soviet Union to nor
malize relations with Belgrade, q
job already begun by Mr.. Khru-
shchev but recently slowed down
by the Hungarian revolt and the
bitter-end resistance of Mr.. Molo-
tov and Co.
The normalization, however, will
be neither speedy nor spectacular.

fundamental departures from the

gated in Moscow, for example the

agement. will impede rapproche-
ment.
Mr.. Khrushchev, In a speech
at Prague Friday, raped the Yu-
goslavs rather sharply and in de-
tail. But his remarks, although
blunt and jolting to Belgrade. are
not viewed in Washington as nee
essarily indicating hostile inten-
tons. Mr.. Khrushchev himself told
Yugoslav newsmen not to write
down his comment, saying. IN
tell that to Tito myself"
RED CHINA has already de-
clared its great approval Of events
in the Kremlin, a stand not at all
surprising. The role Of Commu-
mist China in world communism
will be inevitably enhanced by re-
cent developments in Russia and
among the satellites. Renewal Of
trade ties with Japan will tend
to strengthen the Japanese Com
munist Party. but not significantly.
The official Russian attitude
toward the Mao Tse-tung regime
was succinctly set forth by Mr..
Khrushchev in Prague: China
follow a Marxist path in her own
Chinese way, but that is no cause
for quarrel"
Outside the Red orbit. there will
be vigorous efforts to realign the
Communist Parties and end ide-
illogical confusion created by the
Discrimination drive and by the
Moscow shakeup. The Khrushchev
triumph will. II II lasts. bring a
tightening Of discipline and new
faces in party cadres. In this
respect. certainly. communism
will be a stronger threat TO the
West. whatever Mr.. Khrushchev's
co-existence policies become.

Of the army, called forum of
soldiers and officers and pointed
out that there were two contra
dictions"- first between the
officers and men, and the second
between the army and the people.
Relations between the officers
and soldiers were bad in few
units, he said, and mediocre in a
number of others. Some of our
cadres," he said in his report,
were still not accustomed to the
use of the method of persuasive
education :. they often use sim
pie and harsh methods. Some Of
the cadres (party representatives.
even included in the Kuomintang
work style by giving physical pun
ishment to or by insulting the
warriors"
AS long as the criticisms-and
within a short time they num-
bered in the thousands-were di-
rected at individual faults or
methods Of work, the well-oiled
machinery Mr.. Mao had set in
motion ran smoothly.
Criticism Gets Sharper
But then leading members of
the eight non-CommuniSt minor
