WASHINGTON, June isn’t so much mystery in Mr, lace's trip to China if you think a bit about what is going on in China, what is about to happen in that part of the world, and exam- ine seriously what both Mr. Wallace and President Roosevelt have said about the trip The Men With Him - Look closely at the government experts who went with him One is John Hazard, chief lia- son officer of the Foreign Economic Administration’s Division of Soviet Supply. Another is John Carter Vincent, chief of the State Depart- ment's Division of Chinese Affairs. The third is Owen Lattimore, Far Eastern specialist and deputy di- rector of the Office of War Infor- mation. In our government, Mr. Wallace is next to President Roosevelt, and as such will be received by the Chinesg and Siberians. Never be- fore has an American of such high | official standing visited the Orient. In China, he will find 450,000,000 people—proud with 4,000 years of national civilization, confused by ruinous inflation, all but exhaust- ed by seven years of warfare. FDR's Message He will tell them:: “Neither the swamps of Burma nor the Hima laya Mountains nor Japanese w: ships shall stop America from bringing all possible and prompt aid to this great and enduring; people.” This is his message to them frcm President Roosevelt. But he will find many The Chinese are the hard-working masses who have stuck it out, sym- bolized to Americans by General- issimo and Madame Chiang Kai-| shek. They also are the peasant “communists” in the north, isolated by China's largest politically fective class—the landlord-banker- merchant conservatives who are the financial backbone of Chiang’s gov-| ernment—and they are the profit- eers--like those who exploited the Burma Road, when it was operat-| ing, by smuggling in consumer goods instead of war materials. China envisions herself to become a great industrial power. But no Chinese believe this can happen without aid from abroad. The Future of China President Roosevelt is said to vis- ualize China as a great democratic stabilizing power in the Pacific. In addition to taking a message | to the Chinese people, Wallace is Chinas. | ef-| to do a reporting job. The Presi- dent tern Asia will important part in the future his- tory of the world. Forces are be- ing unleashed there which are of the utmost importance to our fu- ture peace and prosperity. The Vice President, because of his pres ent position as well as his training in economics and agriculture, unusually well fitted to bring both to me and to the people of the !United States a most valuable first- hand report.” Russo-Chinese Relations other words, the questions raised: Where is China head- ing, now and after the war? Is she going to become an all-out democracy? Can her capitalists and communists get together? Can sre get along, perhaps, with the |Russians, with whom she shares the world’s longest land fronter? It’s understood that Mr. Wal- lace actually will spend more time in Siberia than in China itself |He'll visit such newly developed Soviet industrial centers as Novo- |sibirsk, Tashkent, Krasnoyark !Stalinsk, Semipalatinsk and Alma |Ata. Soviet Asia is the home of 40 |million people. 1 Wallace apparently agrees with {what Lattimore and others have een saying for years—that the uestions of our relations with iSoviet Asia will become eyer more important, and that peace in the Pacific depends fundamentally upon Russo-Chinese-American un- rtm standing. play a very is In are e WRANGELL INSTITUTE - STUDENTS HERE; SEEK .
