Many thanks for all your enlightening news on Chou En-lai [TIME, May 10] - the kind of information so badly needed. You handled the deadliest weapon against the threatening Communistic . . . systems in the widespread publication of the naked truth on the personalities of these Red gods and the crimson trails of their careers ... I have no doubt that the terrible truth of such consistent information will have greater effect than the now flourishing hate campaigns launched by the Russian press...

...four months starting last Dec. 31 these titans of Asia conferred in Peking. From the beginning little word leaked-out about the talks. Chou En-lai called the Indian delegates in for tea and gave them a list of instructions (e.g., you must not tell the Indian press what is going on). Red China haggled endlessly over details and often boycotted the talks without notice-particularly when India's truce-supervising General Thimayya made some decision in favor of the U.N. in Korea...
