Robertson and Our China Policy

is now centered on Europe.
Foreign ministers and mill
tary leaders of NATO ma
tons have been meeting in
Washington to discuss the
threat to peace in Europe and
means of meeting it. But the
past has proven that when
the Soviet Union is stymied
in one place, it seeks q diver
sion elsewhere. The trouble
over Quemoy and Matsu is
quiescent at the moment,
but it can be turned of and
on like a light.
The Eisenhower admin
istration has often been
charged with living from
crisis to crisis, devoting at
tention only to that immedi-
ately at hand, and ignoring
those crisis-prone conditions
which might be changed for
the better under more peace
full conditions. 1t is notable
that nothing politically or
militarily has been done in
relationship to the Quemoy
and Matsu position in this
period of relative quiet in
which hopeful changes might
be made.

gument that trade must be
really international and know
no theological barriers does
not hold water.
"As for the failure OF the
blockade Of the Soviet Union
Immediately after the estab-
lishment Of bolshevism, the
objection Is equally unreal
istic. The Russian people. ac-
customed to live on q mere
handful of corn meal during
the war years. did not feel
the pinch Of the mild block
ade. It must also be remem-
bered that the Russia Of those
days was a 90 per cent agri-
cultural country. The situa-
ton is now totally different
from that in 1918 and 1919.
The Soviet leadership, In or
der to make Marxism livable
in Russia. had to make
enormous efforts to make the
country predominantly in
dustrial. Under these circum-
stances a severance Of all
economic relations with the
West would be very hurtful.
Moreover, 1t must be re-
membered that the peoples
Of the Soviet Union have be-
gun only very recently to en-
JOY a very few small raises
in their standards of living.
If their rulers were compelled
by a continental blockade to
give up the few enjoyments
they are just beginning to
enjoy on a small scale serious
trouble might ensue for their
rulers. The free world would
lose nothing by attempting
this type Of coercion to frus-
trate the ambitions of world
domination by the Kremlin.
But I doubt that it will be
applied, because Of the selfish
reasons of the members Of
the free world family"

Red Chinu's Threat to India

The Kremlin is right now
reappraising its policy toward
Afghanistan. If the Red Chi
nese have established them
selves in force in Tibet 1t
means that they have a time
table Of aggression against
India. To foreStall that. the
Russians all ost certainly
must move to be sure they
have a firmer foothold in the
great invasion routes of an
tiquity--the Afghan passes.
There is one other pos
sibility which has so little
plausibility it may well be
dismissed. It Is that this is
the opening phase of a joint
Moscow-Peiping schedule for
the taking and dividing Of
India and Pakistan. This is,
as aforesaid, implausible.
Red China is the big neigh
Dor. She could invade from
many points. But it is signif-
icant she wishes to hold this
northern point. 1t cannot be
for trade or expansion.
One also wonders what the
Soviets think Of this evidence
of bloody aggression at q
time when Moscow is talking
peace and negotiations at
the summit to stabilize ten
SionS.
The Red Chinese action
will not reassure small ma
tons. It is an act Of raw
force, and will be so rec
ognized. The fact that Chang
Kai-shek urged Tibetan
revolt. and preposterously
promised help win not be
enough to camoufiage the ag-
gressive fact of Peiping'S act.
All this must concern Mos
COW as it does New Delhi,
London, Washington and
Paris.
But old Kipling readers will
be intrigued, remembering
Kim. the Lama, the fat babu
and the old Afghan horse
trader.

collapse Of the Central
Powers and the end Of the old

Red China's ruthless ag-
gression in Tibet cannot do
otherwise than cause an old
Kipling reader to start and
prick up his ears like a
Spooked horse.
Tibet is a part Of the top
Of the world" and, like
Afghanistan. is the northern
invasion route into India. AS
all readers OF Kim will recall,
the British were perpetually
nervous about the passes
which led down to the plains
of Hind. The young Kimball
O'Hara, once he was taken
by his destiny from the old
red-hot Lama from Tibet
and taught so excellently by
British intelligence, wrought
nightly against the Russians
as well as the French.
The more extreme Hindu
Nationalist do not care for
the story of Kim, largely be-
cause Kipling was the symbol
of British imperialism. But
Kim is a story in love with
India. That part of the story
which deals with the dis
covery, deception and de-
struction of the Russian and
French spies is a fine, re-
warding piece of writing.
There were Kim, Mahbub Ali,
the Afghan horse trader with
his henna dyed beard, and
the fat Bengal babu.
They made a hash OF
months Of hard work of map
making and intrigue by the
two men who ostensibly were

and also bearing next to his

wonders today how the Rus
slams feel about this demon
stration of power and intent
by the Red Chinese. Peiping
does not need these northern
passes to invade. But If she
should decide to move, she
would be wise to occupy them
for use in a pincer movement,
or more probably, to prevent
their use by any other power
Russia included.
1t is idle to assume that
this strongly made coup is
aimed merely at Tibet. The
alarm Of the government at
New Delhi reveals they are as
nervous as the British used to
be in the old days when all of
Hind was a part Of the en-
pire. The Nehru government
is reported greatly con-
cerned." This is not without
reason.
And If New Delhi is agi-
tated, what about Moscow?
There are bound to be a
few tremors there. Confer
ences have been held at the
Kremlin. 1t is Incompetent
Sible the Russians wish to
see Red China spill into the
ancient plains of India where
so many Of the great con-
querors established kingdoms.
So sure may one be about
this conclusion, one may be
equally positive about at least
one phase of Soviet reaction.
