Moscow apparently values highly the role of Sino-Soviet Friendship month in
Russian?zing China, and the extent of Moscow guidance during the celebrations
is revealed by attention given the arriving Soviet delegation, and Peking
instructions that the visitors are to be welcomed, appreciated, and the people
are to "hold talks" with them. Moscow was said to be changing broadcast
schedules to give more Chinese material during SSF Month, but a check fails to
reveal any significant changes.
Russian leadership and superiority in all fields are stressed. Chinese
scientists will go to Moscow to learn from Russian scientists; special efforts
to teach the Russian language are enumerated; establishment of a special
Institute of Russian Studies is announced; and it is claimed that the masses are
becoming addicted to Soviet films and books.. The "great Stalin",frequently is
mentioned in SSF Month comment, while one slogan speaks of the "hardships" of
the "unselfish Soviet experts," suggesting Russia as a firm but kindly fat:.vvw
with a "this hurts me more than you" attitude in molding the Chinese. Much also
is said of Soviet aid, but the only material aid mentioned is a gift of three
automobiles, made not to Chinese officials but to the SSFA, suggesting that ties
between this organization and Moscow are very close.
Greater Soviet control of Peking propaganda is seen in the transplanting to the
Pacific of Moscow's line of British American conflict and distrust. Although
there is no change in war propaganda themes, here also is a tendency to bring
in the USSR more directly. Russian newspapers are said to stress exploits of
Chinese Volunteers, and Pyongyang statements on Russian aid and leadership are
repeated.
A Northeast move to lighten agricultural production taxes suggests that collection
of these heavy taxes may offer a problem. Peking concern that the remilitariza-
tion of Japan will "undermine the economic livelihood of the people" perhaps
shou)d be transferred to the Chinese people.
