...matters is the future. Why not, then, make a fresh start under the auspices, in Asia, say, of Mr. Nehru, who has demonstrated his anti-Communism at home by adopting harsh police measures against local Communists, and, at the same time, has managed to keep on good terms with Mao Tse-tung? And in Europe who more fitting than Sir Winston Churchill to meet Malenkov, as he has proposed, and hammer out a modus vivendi between the Communist and non-Communist worlds? This specious reasoning presupposes that the American and Russian systems can be roughly equated. If the political police...
Some neutral Swedes were made a little nervous by the award. "Even if Caesar happens to sing," said the Socialist government's newspaper, the Stockholm Mor-gon-Tidningen, "he can never become an Orpheus . . . The academy move paves the way for the statesman, warrior, philosopher and poet, Mao Tse-tung in Peking, to receive the next year's prize." The Liberal Aftonbladet, however, thought the award might "well have been made much earlier." The Communist Ny Dag sneered: "This is a clear case of sidetracking Eisenhower . . . They say he, too, has written a book." But Sir Winston...
Five hundred Chinese prisoners shuffled toward the 32 "explanation" tents in the valley. Behind them, in the compounds of Indian Village, their 22,000 comrades were banging pans and canteens, shouting "Death to Mao Tse-tung." This was the long-awaited day when the U.N. stand against forced repatriation of prisoners (which had prolonged the Korean war 16 months) was to get its first real test: the free choice of the P.W.s themselves. After listening to the Communist explanations, the P.W.s could leave each tent by one of two doors: one led to Communist China; the other...
Once each year, in October, overseas Chinese wear their hearts on their sleeves, or, more specifically, on their flagpoles. On Oct. 1, the anniversary of the Red conquest, Mao partisans wave the five-starred Communist flag. On Oct. 10, the Nationalist anniversary (called "Double-Ten" because the Chinese Republic was proclaimed in 1911 on the tenth day of the tenth month), the followers of Chiang Kai-shek wave their flags...
Last week in British Hong Kong, which lies within uneasy reach of Communist China, an estimated 150,000 Nationalist flags were courageously displayed on Double-Ten by taxi drivers, shopkeepers, peddlers and other Chinese, putting to shame a spindly showing of some 2,500 Mao flags on the Communists' fourth anniversary ten days earlier. Chinese in nearby Portuguese Macao put out 5,000 Nationalist flags where only 67 Communist flags had flown. In Siam, many Chinese leaders who had been conspicuous fence-sitters attended a holiday reception at the Nationalist embassy, and from Singapore, 128 Chinese associations sent pledges...
