V ice- Chai.rmen of the _Chinghni Provincial People's Government, over the radio station at S fining. He said that Tibet would have regional autonomy after its liberation.

In Hainan Eland, where the Kuomintang exurted every effort to hold. on, less than a month was needed to l ibex. et e it ent i ely. He also called on them to harbour no more illusions about getting help from .r.. British and American im~~crinli:sts. The destruct ion .of the Kuomintang could serve as e lesson of the futility of such. not ions. They could be nssured that the Central People's Government, under the lencl.ership of the Communist Party, was absolutely considerate of the. interests and tredit ions of all component nationalities of the People's Le-public of China and respected their frce.dom of religion. Temples and monasteries in Chinghn i and Sinkiang and S ikeng had all been thoroughly well treated since the liberation. Tibet would. have regional autonomy after its liberation, according to the common programme of the People's Political Consultative Conference. The message ended with a call. to Tibetans to secure 'peaceful libernt ion and to send e plenipotentiary delegate as soon as possible to conduct peace talks in Peking, in order to save the Tibetan people from unnecessary losses.

In Zest Germany, occupied by: the American authorities, 90,' to 100, of the adults linve.signed the 1 rice opted. The drive is also being onrVica out in Joopsn, which is under the control of lvlacAr'thur. The significance of the pence movement lies in the fact that pence-loving people of the world are now organising and mobilising the people of the world to continue-,to fight ngn inst the imperialist bloc, and to prevent the outbreak of another world war. By the boycott of the people of the world. and the further organ isnt ion and unity of the world's peace-loving .~ople, war in- st igators.would be eliminated and a new world war avoided. The pence appeal demands unconditional prohibition on the use of atomic weapons. It is not because atomic weapons form the decisive factor in war, but because the American imperialists are employing the atomic weapons as a threat for large-sonic slaughter of mankind. Such a threat has aroused the hatred and. indignat ion of the people of the world. And now a drive is in progress to recruit nil pence-loving people to fight against the imperialist warmongers and. to prevent another world war. At present, the irno_oer inl ist bloc is met with serious daily-increasing difficulties in the course of preparing for a' new war. Not long ago, Dean 1lcheson, the U.S. Secretory of State, who went to West Europe for the Foreign Ministers' C,nference, increased further aid to European countries looking for industrial expansion under America's og ressivc plan and the American "total diplomacy" in order to intensify their preparot ions for war. But reports from various sources show defeat of.the imerican imperialists. Conferences of the some nature were held in Bangkok, Cairo, .The Hague, Paris and. Tokyo. Acheson has started. an all-out offensive in total diplomacy, and has also time and again reaffirmed the boycott of the Soviet Unions r';mer'icon aircraft invaded the territorial air of the Soviet Union. 13idoult, obey tog the order of the American imperialists, proposed a Supreme Council for the Atlantic. All these were clone before the opening of the London Conference, which was aimed to form a new alliance based on the Atlnnt is Pact in order to unify American direction in economic, political and, military plans. But the U.S. Government has been faced with icnt difficulty in adopting Bidault's blueprint. [,est Germany's position in the new war remains unclari f ied. In military matters, divisions and conflicts between the U.S. and Britain have become obvious lately. Similar things have also hnp; gene d in regard. to A Sinn j?r oblems. The Ministers' Conference did not mention anything about the Japanese Peace question. This shows a serious deadlock exists among the Ministers. However, it does not mean that the London mooting was neglected by peace-loving people. The eonferenc further revealed the i?fperialists' intensions for a long- term occupation of West Germany and Japan. The Conference has also further en1ainq cl the motive of the A,nglo-American imperialists in.,reor,,anising the Atlantic alliance nd in broadening their ag lessive plans. At present, under the direct control of the 1merican imperialists the various reactionary governments are employing every barbarous means to suppress the people and are carrying out Fascist and nnti-Communist measures against the strength of the people. anti-Communist legislation was proposed in Australir-, and South Africa on April 27 and May 5 respectively. Under the direction of the American impcrinlists t}ie puppet governments in host Germany and Japan have also suggested. measures to ban the Communist Parties supported by the people. , Under the direct ion of the American imperialists, Latin Amcr icon Govern !ncnts, including Brazil, Part guay and Peru, have long prohibited the not ivit Ies of the Communist Party, and Panama and other countries have recently declared the Communist Party.. illegal.

"Now Groat Britain has abruptly decided to subject our people entering or leaving Hongkong to the same control as other nationals. Tnis unreason- able measure, as the Vice-Minister of Ppreigna Affairs, Chan ; Han-fu, has stated in his protest, is an unfriendly act towards the People's Republic of China and her people.

Now it has unreasonably detained all the planes. TtAs is .a highly unfriendly attitude to adopt towards the People's Republic of China. "Vie are convinced that unless there is an immediate change in the actions and attitude of Great Britain, the only consequence can be to arouse the anger of the Chinese people.

A 26-year-old lathe worker, Chao -Kuo-yu is a famous Chinese 'labour hero.' vrhoso record-broakinc 'Stakhanovito' work in a Mukden engineering factory served tol. start the now record movement in Manchuria. In his three weeks' stay, apart from attending the May Day rally in Moscow, he visited six factories, went to Lent ngrad,, and spoke to numerous workers including some famous Soviet Stakhanovites. "I was particularly impressed," he said,,"by the groat whoe-producing :Factory I saw, which had boon totally demolished by German Fascist, There it.was completely restored and working full blast. On seeing the photographs of the demolished factory as it was just a few years ago, I realised what Kard-won achievement this - and other great works in the Soviet Union - represents of the diligent ,labour of Soviet workers. Nothing can be won easily." ''We talked for hours," he said, describing his meeting imLeningrad with G.M. Dubinin, a lathe-worker like himself and well-known throughout the Soviet Union. They exchanged experiences and Dubinin brought along other workers, too, to tell him of their work, Dubinin was extremely inter- ested in the development of China, asked many questions about production and difficulties that were encounteredv and presented Chao with many book- :Lets showing the great achievements of the Stakhanovites in the Soviet Union. "I was very interested in socialist emulation in the Soviet Union, and asked him Lou Soviet Trade Union Committees direct emulation. And in turn I told him about our new record movement in North-East China. I ex- plained that we are meeting many$.fficulties, but we are confident we can by our exertions overcome them." They left firna friends. "In China,, vre have often talked about our older brothers of the Soviet Union," said Chao. "Now we nave personally experienced how dear they are to us." ''My impression of Moscow is that city is full of vigour and vitality. i7hen work finishes in the evening, the whole city becomes buoyant. Every- thing is well-ordered. You can but stand amazed at the wonderful things working people can achieve, once they become masters of their destiny. The Soviet Union clearly.poiits out the future prospect for China.'He was greatly impressed by the expression: of world working-class solid- arity in the great May Day rally, with portraits of working-class leaders of -rari ous countries carried by gigantic waves of marchers, and was particularly moved by the -onrmth of friendship shown toward new China and the numerous portraits of Chairman Moo Tee-turig carried in the procession. "In placards held aloft by Soviet workers of various factories showing the figures of -vcrfulf ilmont of pn uotion p3ana, T saw a, prnotioal expression of the growing strength of that bulwark of peace, the Soviet Union. And this feeling was further tiuinhtened when I saw the powerful Soviet armed forces under review, on May Day. " $uuintng up his impressions, Chao Kuo-yu said, "Leningrad suffered most cruel devastation at the hands of the Fascists. But now it has been turned by the workers into a beautiful city. Inspired by their example, I fool certain our motherland will surely and swiftly follow along the road opened out by the Soviet Union," And he added with great confidence, ""With the powerful Soviet Union., led by the groat Stalin, and with all peace-loving people in the whole world, we are certain to blast the schemes of ,the war instiga- vors. On May Day, the working class of the world, led by the Soviet Union, demonstrated that they are really a powerful force defending world peace."

The purpose of this loan, like the previous one, is to shackle the Indian economy to the American monopolists still more tightly. By lending their dollars at an enslaving rate of .interest, the imper- ialist sharks are striving to turn India into an appendage supplying agri- cultural produce and raw materials, and into a market for shop-worn 2ooas. American plans for enslaving India are disguised by hypocritical talk about aid to under-developed areas. The real aims of this American policy have been exposed in the Indian Press. Thus the newspaper Searchlight -wrote that this aim is a smokescreen for preparations to convert South-East Asia into a theatre of military operations, regardless of whether the people want this or not. American policy is aimed at preserving the colonial regime in India, at subjugating the country to the interests of the American monopolists. - This is borne out by the fact that the loans granted to India are used primarily on measures facilitating exports of raw materials from the country, and on India's conversion into a military vantage ground. The loans are granted on shackling terms and a canditinn.of unceremonious interference in the country's internal affairs. . The Indian newspaper, Bharat Joti, recently wrote that American investors of capital demand from the Indian Government the same...rights as those enjoyed by Indian capitalists. Like their British colleagues, the American imper- ialists are trying to fill their pockets by exploiting the Indian working people. At the end of last year, Indian and American industrialists met for a conference at Delhi. The demands whicr_ the American monopolists formulated at that conference give a clear idea of the true aims of American so-called "aid" to India. These demands have been discussed by the British Daily Worker. What they boil dawn to is permission to take profits out of India freely, guaran- tees against any form of nationalisation, and the preservation of so-called nternai stgbili-ty. The last requirement means suppression of trade unions and other organisations and a further increase in the terror and policy of reprisals. It is perfectly clear that should all these requirements be fulfilled, the American monopolists would have unlimited-oI-)portuni ties for interfering not only in Indian economic affairs, but in the administration of the country as well. In short, this would lead to India's conversion into a colony not only of the British, but of the American monopolists as well. Under pressure from their senior partners, the Marshallised British colonialists are forced to move out and make room for American capital in India. This is illustrated by the f :>11 wing facts. Before the war the U.S. accounted for )nly 601 of India's imports. In ' the year 1948 the figure reached 2i4..61. The penetration of American capital into India is increasing colonial exploitation in the country. The American monopolists want to use India,with its enormous po?ulation of millions, and its vast natural wealth, for their aggressive aims of achieving world domination. They are out to turn India into a base for suppressing the national liberation movements of the peoples of Asia. All this spells fresh misery for the people of India. In conducting this ^,olicy, entirely against the interests of the people, the British and American imperialists share a common language with the Indian reactionaries. It is an open secret, for instance, that at the Colpmbo' confer- ence of A reign Ministers it was decided that the countries of the British Empire would give Burma a loan of ?7,500,000 for suppressing the people's movement. It is also common knowledge that battalions of Gurkhas from India and Paki- stan are taking part in suppressing the movement in Malaya. To ,)lease the Bri- tish and American imperialists,; the Indian Government has concluded an agreement with the Mabaraoaa of Nepal to recruit Gurkhas for suppressing democratic move- ments, both in India and abroad.

The statement reads as follows:-. Peking Radio yesterday re- peated the Tass story on the opening of the ECAFE meeting in Bangkok, when the. Soviet delegate walked out after fail- ing to secure recognition for Peking's delegate (Vide Straits Times May 10). This item was the same as the one carried by Moscow Radio on May 22. The commentary on Peking Radio last night was the For- eign. Office statement on dip- lomatic relations between Bri- tain and China, as it appears on this page. - Editor.. On January 6, 1950, the British Government presented a Note to Foreign Minister Chou En-lai, expressing a desire to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of Cnina on a basis of equality, mutual benefit and mutual respect for territory and sovereignty. The British Government on the same day also announced its. withdrawal of re- cognition from,., the remnant reactionary clique of the Chinese Kuomintang. On January 9, Foreign Minister Chou En-lai replied to this Note, expressing willingness to establisti diplomatic rela- tions between Cnina and Great Britain. And furthermore, on January 28, he accepted Mr. Hutchison, Charge d'Affaires ad Interim, as nominee of the British Government for, the purpose of coming to Peking as its representative to conduct negotiations on preli- minary and procedural questions concert-ling es,tablisrvnent of, diplomatic relations. After Representative Hutchison arrived at Peking, negotiations on establishment of diplomatic relations formally began on March 2. During the course of the ne=gotiations, the Central People's Government verbally mentioned to the British representative that a "question which was most important and which must first. be settled was the relationship between the British Government and the remnant reactionary clique of the Chinese Kuo- mintan. The Central Peoplo-'. Government considered that the action of the British representatives in m.hstaining from voting in regard to..the right of Chinese representatives on the United Nations, and the -:uestion of what actually vra:. the attitude of the British Government to,.-rards various organisa- tions of .iris remnant reactionary clique of the Kuomintang and the national properties and assets of China in Great Britain, Hong,,g ong and territories subject to Great Britain, as all pertaining to the question of relationship between the British Goverment and the remnant reactionary clique of the Chinese Kuomintang. Therefore, the Central People's Government wished the British Goverment to clarify its position with re gaiTl to these two questions. The British Government on March 17, through a verbal reply by Represent- ative Hutchison, made some explanations with regard to the attitude of the British Government on the above two questions. . The Central People's Government considered that this explanation was not satisfactory. In actuality, the Th iti sh Government has for five months consistently abstained on the question of the right of Chinese representation In all the subsidiary orgia-,isations of the United. Nations. Also, -,' i th regard to planes no:isr at iionggkon r, -i,rhich are directly in the possession and protection of tiro airlines (China National Aviction~Coxpor- ation and the Central Air Transport Corporation of 'trio Civil Aeronautics Bureau of China), the British authorities at Hongkong not only have obstructed in many ways their flight to Com a, but have also failed to assume their real responsibility in protectin, the Manes, to the extc;nt ti .it seven of them nave met with destruction.

Therefore, the Central People's Government, on May 8, gave a special Note to Representative Hutchison for transmission to the British Government, asking it to clarify further its position with regard to the following two questions - the right of Chinese representation on the United Nations and the rights of Chinese national_ properties and assets. But on the clay following tt e. notification, _that_i: s on May 9, the British Government even ?ordered.,the Hongkong Court tc detain the 10 planes of the CNAC and CATC, vrni ch were on Hongk.ong's Kaitak airfield. Ttiis action not only proved that the British Government-did not respect the rights of national properties and assets of the Central People's Government, and its right to manage its properties and 'assets, i)ut also rclare ented i n actuality an extremely unfriendly attitude towards the People's Republic of China. The British Government, on the one hand, expressed a desire to establish diplomatic relations bet-men China and Great Britain. On the other hand, after expressing this desire, again and again it demonstrated that it had not in reality completely severed its relationship with the remnant reactionary clique of the Chinese Kuomintang. The Central Pe:~~le's Government of the People's Reoublic of China consi- clers that it is c,om;?letely necessary to ask the British Government to clarify further again its position with regard to the central question of these in- . rcnaistencies 'between declaration and action, (NCNA Peking Morse English 2130-hrs 23 May) CHINF;SE PLANS .PUBLISI-IED IN; RUSSIAN: Reports' from Moscow, say that a Russian translation of the common pro- r ramme of the Peopla' a Political Consultative Conference has been published in Soviet political magazines and in magazines of the Soviet Communist Party.

Hence, it has been decided that newspapers should devote less space to publication of conference news. But there are some important confereneesvihieh deserve attention, For example, the news of the first llepresentativec Conference in Munchenghsien published by the Iiopci ily News on 11pril 3,which carried important news of the plans made by the farmers in producing for the country, the rood results achieved, their activities and li.velihoocd, and the history of their past are worth while publishing. hat really should be omitted arc unimportant ryews items such as the places at which certain conferences arc scheduled to be held, the ntunber and names of the people present at these conferences, the subjects discussed. These defects are often found in the Tsinan People's Dail,y,and the Honan Daily News, whose reports on the first Stucent's Representative Conference in Sh of ung and the f i_ st People's Representative Conference in Honan, respectively, did not carry important facts from the conferences. Vdhat was published in these -,apers were those unimportant news items anent ioned above. Newspapers should take note of the f olloviing point while reporting on conference news:- Do not report on all conference news, but select those items which hove a direct connect i )n with the people, and have a direct bearing on the people's livelihood.
