...course of eliminating opposition to Communist rule in rugged mountainous Shensi province, Kao Kang, a squat, square-jawed warlord, learned all about the precipice treatment for despised rivals. By 1935 he had Shensi so much under his fist that Mao Tse-tung marched his harassed legions 6,000 miles to get to the safety of Kao's country. Only then did Shensi Peasant Kao, 33, and already eight years a party member, learn to read and write...

Senator Hubert Humphrey...
...Communist China now might mean a loss of prestige for the U.S. Indeed it might, if recognition were granted as a one-sided gift, with nothing demanded in return. It must be made clear that the U.S. is not backing down or making a concession by extending recognition to Mao Tse-tung. It would be merely acknowledging the fact of Communist control of China, whether Americans like this factor not, in an effort to settle major areas of disagreements through negotiation rather than by armed conflict, the only alternative...
