"Trade in the locations mustthus remain in the hands ofthe Whites, just as trade in theReserves remains with theBantu," he said, according to

Mr. D. W. R. Hertzog, thechairman of the Instituut, saidAfrican traders in the loca­tions had stated that they hadtaken part in the ANC boycottbecause they were vulnerable, lUI fr========~1Trade in locations must not re­main only in Bantu hands.

A delegate said a selfish atti­tude should not be taken upon this question. The Bantushould be encouraged to usehis purchasing power in hisown interests. Bant u moneymust be harnessed for the de­velopment of the Reserves.otherwise the Whites wouldhave to pay taxes for the pur­pose.

The Department of BantuAdministration and Develop­ment had been asked to send arepresentative to the congressto explain Government policyon this matter, but nobodyturned up.

MrSobukwe had thought that a "greatidea," said Mr. Bodley. This discussion, said Mr. Bodley, had takenplace at the time the Congress boycott of Nationalist products hadbeen launched.

Mr. Bodley's advice to shop­keepers is to address African menas "Morena". That should delightthe heart of the Prime Minister.

Mr. Bodley's campaign isostensibly to boost trade and hetalks excitedly abou the cash purchasing power of the Africans (withthe emphasis on the cash), but he

HappyNewYearand

well over the Fast.

.The Chi nese lea ders say tha twith the peo ple of the SovietUni on at their side, the 600 mi l­lion people of Chi na are vaultinginto the future . Th e U.S. leadersmay pretend they simply do notexi st , and Chia ng K ai-shek mayya p occasio nally from F orm osa,but the Chinese peopl e will con­tinue to shake the wo rld.

THE FU TU RE

What do all these dry statisticsmean to the Chinese peasant orworker? They me an more andbette,r food, houses, education,medical attennon, sports stadiaand opera houses.

The life of most Chinese is stillvery . ha rd when comp ared to peo­ple In the advanced coun tries ofthe West or m ost of th e other So­cialist co untries. But the gap isbeing rapidly narrowed, and com ­pared with their for mer wretchedexistence, they now live like prin­ces.

The resnlt of this upsurge isthat the target for the currentFive-Year Plan will bereached at the end of this year,that is, three years ahead ofschedule. It also means that atthe present rate of advance,China will have outstrippedBritain in the production ofmajor industrial goods by1968.

The lea p fo rward neverthelesswas very gr ea t, and has be en con­tinuing th is year, desp ite severedroughts an d floods. Th e totalvalue ou tpu t of industry in thefirst six months of thi s yea r wasup 65% on last yea r, an d therehas been in th e main an increasein rural produce.

A s regards the output of steel,3 million of the or igina l esti mateof 11 million ton s was producedby local methods and met theneeds of rural areas , wh ile 8 mil­lion tons met the nee ds of in­du str y.

The over assessmen t of the agri­cultural crop was du e. say theChinese. to lack of experience incalculating the outp ut of suc h abumper crop. F ur ther, the labourallocated for the bum per autumnha rvest was idadequate. J,;;;;;;;===== ===;.!l

What a fantastic tribu te to th erate of advance these Americansneers are! The inc reases arephenomenal by any stan da rds. TheChinese may well claim that theycan do the incredible, if no t th eimpossible.

DIFFICULTIES

The difficu lties were enormou s.Th e few facto ries inherited fr omth e Kuomintang were largely ob ­solete. Trained technicians werefew and fa r between. The work ­ing class wi th a tradition of in­du st ria l craftsma nship was tiny.and America was enforcing aneconomic bloc kade of the coun-t ry. .

The two factors that pulled thecou nt:y through were the tre­mend ou s determination of th eCh inese people not to let any­th ing hold th em back, and So­viet aid.

0 0 the agr icultural front im­por ta nt cha nges were also tak ingplace. First mutual aid teams wereset up by the peasants, and thencam e the development of co­op era tives. Hundreds of millionsof peasants took p art in giganticflood control measures. The out­pu t of agr icultura l produce ro sesteadily fro m year to year.

But s till this was not enough.When the Second Five-YetV' Planwas mapped out in 1958 the Com­munist Party issued the slogan ,seemingly impossible of fulfil.me nt : " Catcb up witb Bri tain inthe pro duction of m aier in dustrialgoo ds in fifteen years."

Ch ina was then still in theth roes of a mighty civil wa r,th ough the tid e had definitelysw ung In fa vo ur of th e Co mmun ­ist-led People's Liberation Army,whi ch had crossed the Yangtserive r to del iver the last p owerfulbl ows necessary to smas h com­p letely the a rmies of Kuomintanglead er and dictator, the completelydi scredited Ch iang Kai-s hek,

At th at time about 100 of, Chi na 's 600 million people had

h ved in areas where the Commun­ist Party and its all ies had occu­pi ed the lead ersh ip . The res t ofth e country wa s still war-torn. Thepe op le wer e tired , tire d of ce n­turi es of war-lordism . The ir ba cksgroa ned beneath the com binedweight of thei r landlord's merci­less tyranny and the ir own super­stition and illite racy .

Above all they wanted an endto war, an end to the crue l whipsand pi ti less taxation of the irfe uda l master s, an end to fa mi ne,an end to corru p tion, and an endto being treated hke dogs by theirown local tyr ants and for eign co­lon ialist s.

T he K uo minta ng had failed ut ­terly . The Communists offeredthe people an end to th eir ex­t reme hardship, and m ore, muchmo re. Th e Communists put for­wa rd the perspective of a gre atChina, free d fo rever from bond ­age and ta king its place a mon gthe great nations of the eart h, aso ciahs t Ch ina inh abited by ab roth erh ood of free, pro sperou sand cu lture d people.

In his declaration M ao told theCh inese people: YOU are theCh ine se People's Republic. Onlyyo u can make the dreams of theOhinese throughout the ages be­co me a rea lity in your lif etime.

STEPS TAKEN

T oday the Chin ese point withpride to the steps that have bee ntak en since then to ac hieve th esea mbitious aims.

• The imme diat e task facingthe new People's R epublic was tobr ing the civil war to an end andto restore peaceful conditions toth e cou ntry . This was ac hieve dWith remarkable speed. Inflat ionand racketeer ing in grai n werestopped , and corruption of gov­ernm ent officials put an end to.

At the same time a mightyland reform mo vement swept thecou ntry. T he old Sun Yat- sen slo­gan of "La nd to the tiller !" wasreali~ed, as tIhe peas ants div idedu p amongst themselves th e vas testates of the landlords.

• Mas sive campaigns wereund ertak en to combat iIlit era..cyand to im prov e the hea lth of th epeopl e. T he wom en of Chinafinall y cast off and smashe d theshackles of their centuries-oldobe dien ce to male domination .

Yet all th is was not enou2h. Aslon g as Ch ina rellllli ned an eco­nomically backward coun try, theChinese wo uld forever be at themercy of natu ral cala mities , andperpetually haunted by the threatof a return to the sta2 nation ofth e pa st.

Continued from previous column"Here, with vastly popular

Fra nkie Sinatra presiding and vir­tually every star in the filmic fir­mament on hand, Marilyn Monroecould say: 'I think Mr. K.'s visitis a wonderful thing. Maybe nowwe can learn to be friends.'

"Remember, as the televisioncolumnist of the New York DailyMirror said the other day, neverbefore in historv had one manheen on so many programmes be­fore, appeared before so manyeyes before.

"You get the feeling that neverbefore were so many millions ofthe world's plain people drawn inon that prirnarv political matter,international policy, the mouldingof a programme that would meanpeace. not war.

"Here truly was the creation of'open covenants openly arrived at.'They may have been dancing thecan-can, and some might think itwas kind of a scandalous dance.But what you were seeing was thedance of life, not the dance 01death."

They were found guilty of dis­tributing i II e g a I Communistpamphlets and newspapers. Fiveof the six men served long prisonterms in nazi Germany for thesame offence.

Here are the records of theaccused:

• SEBASTIAN STEER spentten years in nazi prisons and con­centration camos.

HEINRICH BELL was con­fined in a nazi concentration .campfrom 1934 to 1937; he then madehis way to Spain to fight in theInternational Brigade: from 1941to 1945 he was held in Dachauconcentration camo.

• LUDWIG -HEIGL spentnearly four years in a concentra­tion camp, and JOSEF AUMUEL­LER nearly two years.

• The youngest of the accused,ERNST GRUBE, aged 27, whosemother was Jewish, was sent to aconcentration camp for Jews atthe age of eight and held for fiveyears until liberation at the end ofthe war.

Bandung CountriesTo Meet

pRIME Minister Nebru toldtbe Indian Parliament re­

cently that India had acceptedCeylon's proposal to hold aconference of Bandung coun­tries (of Africa and Asia) toconsider economic questionsof common interest.

A team of Indian officials hadbeen to Colombo, and a pro­visional agenda had been drawnup. But it remained to be decidedwhen and where the meetingshould be held, the Prime Ministersaid.

Mr. Nehru added that he hadwritten to the Ceylon PrimeMinister who was communicatingwith other countries concerned.

ECONOMIC ONLYAsked about a second Bandung

Conference, Mr. Nehru said therewast no such proposal at presentbefore the Government. Somevague suggestions ihad been madein the last year or two but, headded, even the Colombo powerswho were supposed to convene itwere not of one opinion aboutits timing. Since then Ceylon'sproposal for a conference con­fined to economic issues had beenreceived.

'il'i'·)a,the late stages of a campaign. Hehas hear d all the questions manytimes, and his answers are assharp as hell."

It is perhaps significant that itwas after a meeting with tons­shorernen on the West Coast thatthe first real swmg towards open­ly shown popularity was nonc e­able. Khruschov had said thatgetting back to meeting with theworkers again would make himfeel "like a fish in a mountainstream."

From then on people. bothfamous and obscure. went out oftheir way to greet him. Accordingto Time magazine, when he wentto a Hollvwood luncheon all theStars were there. "Even Eddie, Lizand Debbie were in the sameroom."

"SHUT UP"When 20th Century-Fox Presi­

dent Skouras tried to needle Mr.K. the audience told him in nouncertain terms to "Shut up." "Sitdown" and let their guest alone.

When Los Angeles Mayor Poul­son nastily asked Mr. K. abou this statement that the SovietUnion would bury the U.S.. whichKhruschov had already explainedwas an obvious and comolete mis­interpretation of what he actuallyhad said, the crowd gave him abig round of applau:e when heremarked: "I want to ask you.why did you mention that? Al­ready in the U.S. I have clarifiedthat. I trust that even mayorsread. In our country chairmen ofcouncils who do not read the pressrisk not being re-elected."

MAYOR POULSON TURNEDCRIMSON.

The highlights of the trip were,of course, his address to theUnited Nat ions and his meetingswith President Eisenhower, whichappear to have been carried on ona useful and friendly basis.

CAN-CAN AFFAIRAs one American reporter said

after the famous Hollywood scenein which Frank Sinatra and Shir­ley MacLaine had gone out oftheir way to impress on theirvisitors their feelings of friend­ship:

"When I watched the lovelystars of 20th Century-Fox dancebefore the Premier and his familyin Hollywood I could havethought Well, now I've seen every­thing.

"The performance had theQuality of a midsummer night'sfantasy. yet in many ways it wasprofound and meaningful drama.

·R. K.

"N ow, your job is to check on anyone who doem't like Mr. K:and yours, Butch, is to check on anyone who does."

Whether he was liked or dis­liked. he could not be ignored. Asone U.S. Senator nut it after Mr.K. had had a heavy session withthe Senate Foreign Relations Com­mittee:

"He's a little like a candidate in

"N O BUILD UP PLEASE"

And they discovered to theirsurprise that not only was Khrus­chov a thoroughly human being,but also that he was reasonable,approachable, a man with dignitynot afraid to speak out when con­fronted with petty insults. but aman above all with charm, wit andgreat intelligence.

From the star t the Americanpeople were aware that the tourwas an imnortant one. Said a MissMartha Graham at the airportwhen Mr. K. was invited to "stepon to American soil" by SovietAmbassador Menshikov: "WHENYOU REALISE THE IMPLICA­TIONS OF IT ALL. YOU JUSTKNOW IT IS HISTORY, REAL­LY IMPORTANT mSTORY."

No one had heard of the 19­Year-old Miss Graham till then.but her words were splashed inall the Washington newspapers.

"Like when Columbus dis­covered America."

Possibly it was more likeAmerica discovering Colum­bus.

Big businessmen, notables of thepress, government officials andsenators were all treated to ses­sions with Mr. K.

A SHORT while ago Mr. K.was commonly regarded

by most Americans if notquite as the "Vodka-sloppingpeasant," as Time suggests heonce was held to be, at leastas a rough, tough dictatorwithout an ounce of humanity.

In a way he can be thankful tothe late Joe MacCarthy for thesuccess of his tour, for it is prob­able that if it had not been forthe MacCarthyites past and pre­sent who built up the picture ofthe Russians as a scheming, mys­terious people from anotherplanet, it ISlikely that the interestin seeing the Russian Premierwould not have been so great.KHRUSCHOV.
