From reports of agents within Red China, and from day-by-day analysis of local Red newspapers and Red Chinese documents, the American Federation of Labor last week compiled a grisly box score of killings committed by Mao Tse-tung's Red Chinese regime. Among them: ¶Landlords or village despots-4,970,000. ¶Kuomintang (Nationalist) reactionaries-2,950,000. ¶Bandits-2,600,000. ¶Treacherous merchants-875,663. ¶Slave laborers impressed into the Red army and worked to death or assigned to the suicide units used in "human sea" assaults...
...million dead. The A.F.L. did not guarantee the accuracy of its figures, but it had taken the best estimates it could find. The Western mind, traditionally skeptical of imprecise estimates, might question the A.F.L.'s figure, but there could be no doubt that, whatever the count, murders by Mao & Co. represent an enormity that the human mind cannot take...

But when the Reds finally seized China in 1949, Mao had to eat his own words. On Moscow's orders, Red China renounced all claim to Outer Mongolia...
...signed a ten-year treaty with Red China pledging cultural, economic and educational exchanges. No mention was made of a military alliance, thus underlining the fact that Outer Mongolia's only military connections are with the Soviet Union. At lavish banquets celebrating the pact, Premier Tsedenbal toasted both Mao and Stalin, but for every toast honoring Mao, the "great leader of the Chinese people," there were at least six eulogies of Stalin, hailed as the "Father of the Mongolian Republic . . . who has emancipated us from the imperialist [Chinese] yoke." Sweet are the uses of ritual...
