...Valentine's Day 1950, as Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung sealed a treaty of "friendship, alliance and mutual security," Comrade Mao predicted that this union of 700 million people would "inevitably influence the future of all mankind." This week the tenth anniversary of that historic union was observed with determined gaiety in Peking with lectures, parades and folklore festivals. Soviet Boss Khrushchev was too busy to take part personally in these solemnities. China's No. 1 ally was, ironically enough, off in India building friendship with China's No. 1 rival for Asian leadership...
...boned up on Russian, added a bit of Lenin to make "my new system of thinking," and began publishing treatises on population and agriculture. For boldly arguing that agricultural output should be boosted before tackling industrialization, Ma came under heavy orthodox attack, only to be handsomely vindicated when Mao Tse-tung himself ordered the economic revolution of the communes 18 months ago.

Nehru first announced the Chinese border incursions. After hustling back to India for a top-level party meeting, Ghosh flew off to Peking to beg Mao Tse-tung to be less brutal. Unsuccessful in Peking, Ghosh went back to Moscow to plead for help there, and last week completed his circle tour by scurrying home to New Delhi to try to hold the party together. Best measure of his success so far: postponement of a party central-committee meeting scheduled for this week, presumably to allow time for tempers to cool...
