correspondents. No action had been taken on reports., and in some instances reporters
even had been punished.
Kunming reported (Dec. 4) discovery of Kuomintang agents in the Malako tin mines of
Kochiu.. Yunnan, with eight persons killed bya broken cable that had been damaged by
acid? Peking said in numeral code (Dec. 7) that following the death of 258 persons
in seven Ronan hsien, private merchants were prohibited from handling insecticides.
8. (4+) Border Minorities:
Chungking asserted (Dec. 6) that the Communist regime had brought peace and friendship
between the Ma and Pache families of the Sikang I tribes. The Kuomintang had
encouraged family feuds.
Tihua reported (Dec. 1) that People*s Liberation Army units in Sinkiang grew 223,000
piculs of wheat this year.. and added (Dec. 5) that the PIA modernized Shihotzu with a
medical center and power plant; developed pasture land in the Raining area; and
promoted the raising of horses and donkeys.
9. (1) Japanese Repatriation%
Peking declared (Dec. i) that the Chinese and Japanese masses were on friendly terms.,
with _japanese in Chine receiving just treatment and sending money home to their families.
However.. if they desired repatriation the Chinese Government is willing., provided Japan
furnished transportation and made arrangements through the Red Cross.
However., large numbers of war criminals among the Japanese in China would serve ar;t
their bison terms..
10. (4+) Anglo-American Weaknesses:
Peking said in numeral code (Dec. 3) that American industrial production had ~iroyrr;d
13 percent since February,, as a result of a money shortage among the people. The
Government had curtailed purchases, piling up surpluses of cotton and wheat and closing
zinc and lead mines. The American bankerst conference admitted that present American
prosperity could not last much longer, and new changes are inevitable."
According to Peking in numeral code (Dec. 7) Britain and America were engaged in a
bitter struggle for raw materials, and since Britain had followed the United States in
refusing to trade with Communist nations., she was at Americats mercy. Though Britain
controlled large supplies of rubber., wool, wolfram., and jute., she must depend on American
purchases to meet dollar shortages, and suffered tremendously when U.S..manipulation
deflated prices, Meantime, through the Point Four Program, which was merely a device
for American economic penetration, America was gaining a foothold in rubber-producing countries.
U. (4) Sino-Thai Relations:
Peking (Dec. 7) quoted Overseas Chinese Affairs Chairman Ho Hsian
the Thai Government to stop undermining the interests of Overseas Chinese in Thailand:
immediately" and allow the CHUAN MIN PAO and NAN CHEN PAO to resume publication, or be
responsible for all consequences. The papers were closed Nov. 24 upon advice from
American and British officials handling economic and military aid. The "oppression of
peace workers" by the Bangkok Government also had aggravated the situation.
