COMMUNIST CHINA

GOVERNMENT IN PROCESS OF DISINTEGRATION

(Rec. 12.40) NEW YORK, Nov. 21. The Chinese Communist Government is in process of internal disintegration, Dr. T. F. Tsiang, Chinese Nationalist delegate to the United Nations told the Political Committee to-day. „ He said that resistance forces to the Peking regime had increased phenomenally. , He said: "Before September, 1949, there were only some 359,000 men operating against the Mao-tse-tung regime. In the period between September and December last year the number increased to 824,000, and during the first half of 1950 they multiplied by more than 100 per cent, to 1,667,000 men." Dr. Tsiang was speaking in support of the Chinese Nationalist Government’s charges of Soviet aggression against the territorial integrity of China. These charges were first aired last year, and since have been before the “Little Assembly of the United Nations.” Dr. Tsiang asserted that 45,000 Soviet agents completely dominated the political, economic and cultural life of Communist China. Dr. Tsiang urged the United Nations to create a special commission of inquiry to look into Russia’s alleged aggression against China and report back to the 1951 Assembly. He said the matter was urgent, but he realised that a thorough systematic study was called for. Mr John Foster Dulles the American delegate supporting Dr Tsiang's proposal said: “We believe that recent events in China may present a case in history which if adequately explored, documented and reported, will serve further to alert the people of Asia, the Pacific, and, indeed, of all the world, to the danger to which none of us can be indifferent.” • Quoting from Stalin’s 1924 lectures on the foundations of Leninism, Mr Dulles said these showed that the Soviet Union had „ a two-phase plan to transfer dependent and colonial countries from what Stalin described as “the reserve of imperialist bourgeoisie into a reserve of revolutionary proletariat.” The first phase was to whip up the nationalistic aspirations of the people so they would rebel against their colonial rulers, and the second phase was to prevent nationalism getting out of hand, and to ensure the subsequent amalgamation of all nations under the Soviet’s “single State Union.”
