Last week brought "Double Ten" (the tenth day of the tenth month) again in China-the 36th anniversary of the founding of Sun Yat-sen's republic. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek flew back to Nanking from a tour of battlefronts, and broadcast to the nation. Proudly he ticked off the year's brighter spots: capture of the Communist capital, Yenan; the mopping up on the coast of Shantung. Then he made a promise about what was happening north of the Great Wall: "We will not lightly yield one single inch...
...father was a military scholar who organized militia for Sun Yat-sen and wrote A History of Chinese Tactics and Strategy of the Past Four Thousand Years. Because Tu was an only son, the old historian did not want him to be a soldier. But Tu ran away, entered Whampoa Military Academy, and graduated with the first class, in 1924. A vigorous sportsman in peacetime-he likes to hunt wild asses from horseback in the Gobi-Tu is also an accomplished paratrooper. He got his training from OSS experts training Commando troops in Kunming...
...this period, Sun Yat-sen had welcomed Russian help for his revolution. Russia sent help-and organizers.

Chen says he is not opposed to Socialism. He points to the Three People's Principles of Sun Yat-sen-San Min Chu I-nationalism, democracy and livelihood for the people. To him, the "People's Livelihood'' principle means, one day, social insurance, free health services and schools everywhere; no concentration of capital or land ownership; more cooperatives; key industries owned by the state...
...Steps. Last week, at Powell's old desk, under the gaudy lithographs of Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kaishek, son John William Powell, 27, took over the title of editor & publisher of the China Weekly Review. He had been running the paper since the end of the war. Shanghai-born Bill Powell worked with 0WI during the war, tossing leaflets out of Army bombers over occupied Hong Kong and Canton. When he got back to the Review he found most of its fine library stolen, the wiring and switches ripped from the walls...
