Chinese prison, and is now
reevpersfins from his ordeal.

mack was rewarded by The
Reds with five years Of vn.
imaginable brutal and unjust
treatment. Here for the first
time, in . series Of five or.
tieIes for the Catholic press,
he relates the complete story
Of the new" China under
communism.
BY
Fr. Joseph P. Mccormack, MN
Fear is the lifblood of
communism. The Reds
know that they can only
control as long as the
people are too afraid to
resist. The Red leaders know
that once the people cease
to fear them, they are fin
ished, for revolt will surely
follow.
That is why Mao has turn
ed China into one vast slave
labor camp where it is esti-
mated that about 100 million
people have been arrested at
one time or another and
where it is believed some 35
million are now in prisons
and slave labor camps.
But, regardless of what I
say and write about life in
China today there will be
those who refuse to believe it,
and others who prefer the Red
propaganda line. To know
what it's really like you have
to live there. And to see COM
munism at its best, you have
to spend some time in a Red
prison.
The nightmare began one
morning in December 1947
shortly after breakfast when
armed communist soldiers en-
tered the house of Father
Maurus Pal. a 70-year-old
priest attached to the Mary
knoll mission territory I head
ed in Manchuria. Without CIV
ing any explanation, the SOL
diers ordered the old priest
to accompany them to their
headquarters. There, despite
the frigid Manchurian winter,
Father Pal was stripped of
his clothes and thrown into
an unheated prison.
After ten days of torture
the Reds tried him and, nat
urally he was sentenced to
death. He was shot three times
in the back of the head. The
Reds can't deny this because
I can prove what I say. /
know where the skull of the
old priest is hidden with three
bullet holes in it.
