...weeks Red China's Dictator Mao Tse-tung has not been seen in Peking. Like Khrushchev or Eisenhower, Mao regularly takes a summer vacation, but after four weeks away Mao failed to return even for Red Army Day, Aug. 1. By last week the signs were piling up that the real reason for his prolonged absence from the capital may be a deep and abiding policy quarrel in the top echelons of China's Communist Party.

In many cases, deconcentration has been allowed to become only a paper fiction; e.g., Friedrich Flick's steel combine "sold" one steel mill to Flick's sons. Though Krupp keeps a close watch on his separated assets (Beitz sometimes calls the companies' managers in for reports), he has made no big move toward secret reconcentration. Alfried Krupp could legally sell his coal and steel holdings in Germany and invest...
