Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 19, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky a creative approach or. Richard c. Rodgers chairman of the Palma Ceia methodist peace commission sent me a Telegram from Tampa Florida starting with the sentence a please devote All your Energy to Avert catastrophe that could develop from far Eastern that Telegram should have been sent to somebody in the 1920 a when the United states and great Britain pursued a violently anti japanese policy in the far East and paved the Way for soviet Russia eventually to conquer China. That was one of the really great catastrophes in history. The anti japanese Boycott in China in 1919. Which was a result of the students strike and which led to the founding of the chinese communist party was hailed in the Western world As a great event. But the historical result in 1958 is the formosan situation which is now faced by the Western world. O q get All of Mankind dislikes War but some Peoples Are More cowardly than others. In China where human life is cheap Feudal and civil wars arc continuous and banditry is a Normal condition. Banditry in fact is a usual product of surplus population in villages where the additional males w to cannot find agricultural work have no Way of earning a living except by banditry. Thus private armies came into existence Chiang Kai Shek spent from 1927 to 1948 trying to rid China of these private armies the existence of which general George Marshall could never understand because these Are not Normal in Western countries in fact general Marshall and his advisers understood China too Little to lie of any value to the United states. The chinese communists have to a degree solved the problem of the private armies by two methods 1 the Swift and efficient method of killing Large numbers of persons but not enough quite to solve the problem of surplus popu Laton 2. By industrialization which can absorb surplus population in Mills factories mines Etc. But which involves the proletariat Ion of a Rural population which takes time. There might have been a third method namely the migration of vast hordes to Europe. This is yet to come the Point that must be emphasized to or Rodgers and others who believe that the China problem can be solved by some United nations gimmick is that it has been a Long one in the making contains Many social and economic complexities and will not be solved readily it May produce Many wars the Mast serious one a Century or so from now. When China seeks to conquer Europe and establish a Universal chinese . If red is permitted to take Quemoy and Matsu which Are unimportant islands off the Fukien coast what is to prevent red China from faking Formosa and the Philippines nothing except the military might and Power and willingness to fight of the United states. Or. Rodgers in his Telegram to me. Says Quot. Even irresponsible nations should be in in an experience world moral pressure a 0 9 9 precisely in what Way has world moral pressure influenced soviet Russia or Nasser in their programs of establishing Universal states in what manner has world moral pressure asserted itself except to weaken the United states and to strengthen its enemies or. Rodgers wants a a More creative approach to China policies to prevent War. All Light let him suggest the a More creative approach which will not turn Over to red China Formosa the Philippines. Malaya and Burma the Pescadore Nepal and Assam. It would be interesting to read such a program and to see precisely How it fits the realities of the far Eastern situation. 1 have devoted 40 years of my life to the problems of China. For nearly 14 of those 40 years. I lived in China with visits to Japan and Siberia. I lived one year in Russia during the beginning of the revolution. I have travelled widely and knew most of the important men of my generation. I have no a realistic Quot or a a creative program to offer. The course of events is shaped by millions of tiny factors which merge and Combine and Concatenate producing a Sharp focussed picture at a Given moment. That we have today when Mao Tze Tung.
