...blood flowed on & on. Last week Red China's purge of "counterrevolutionaries" reached Manchuria, where Communist rule had seemed unchallenged. In 23 Manchurian cities, including Mukden and Changchun, and even in Russian-controlled Port Arthur and Dairen, police staged large-scale raids, which were reported in detail by Communist news service and radio. Thousands were arrested, hundreds hauled off to the inevitable public mass trials and executions...

...were concessions to the hopeful British view that the Chinese had invaded Korea primarily to safeguard the North Korean dams which generate hydroelectric power used by Manchurian industry and furnish light to the Manchurian industrial center of Mukden, the Russian naval base at Port Arthur and Dairen. The British view was strengthened by the fact that Chinese troops had struck hardest in the area south of the Yalu River's 480-ft. Suiho Dam, which has a capacity of 700,000 kw., two-thirds as much as massive Hoover Dam. But supporters of the British view did not explain...
