Western diplomats are taking some encouragement from reports that the Chinese Reds and Russian Commun- | ists are at odds on several points of basic strategy. The latest hope stems from a Pravda dispatch, which tells of the struggle in Japan between Russian and Chinese Com- munists for control of the Japanese Communist party. The Japanese Party was finally taken under the wing ; of Moscow Communists, only after one of Mao-Tung’s | closest advisers was ousted in the Japanese party. The | Russians, for some unexplained reason, released the story | in Pravda at the same time the Chinese Communists were an leaders in Moscow. meeting with Rus In addition to this sign of friction, which Russians are not completely satisfied with the behavior of their Chinese stooges, there have been reports that the 2d with the amount continuance of Com- indicates Chinese Communists were not sati of aid that Russia was providing for the the Korean conflict. It is also said that the Chinese munists are more eager to continue the war than either | the North Koreans or the Russiaans, though this report is, | of course, speculation. | One of the major hopes of the West has always been that, the Communisi ring would split into factions. The disaffection of Marshal Tito and Yugoslavia was the fir significant encouragement in this respect and there is now some hopefulness regarding the long-term relation- ship between Russia and China. In view of the fact, how- ever, that the Chinese have been more aggression-minded in Korea than the North Koreans or the Russians, the short- term gain to be realized in any break between the two Communist powers might be negligible. On the other hand, such a break might bring about a policy of realignment on the part of the Chinese, w hich could rapidly end the Chinese threat in Asia. Past history shows that imperialist powers, like these, quarrel among themselves sooner or later. The free world should utilize all its propaganda resources to advertise the Tito-Stalin rift and encourage other Communist satellites to follow Tito’s example This would be, of course, the cheapest way to counter the Russian th and likewise the most effective.

A slightly more vulgar but more emphatic way of saying it is: | “People in the U. S. just don’t | seem to give a damn what happens to their neighbor’s kids who are in the Armed Service.” The rela tives of soldiers, sailors, and air- men serving in the East are natu rally worried. Every day men are being maim- ed or killed. Those who are lucky enough to escape the actual fighting are still affected by having their | normal home-life destroyed. Yet | because the number of men in service is still comparatively low, the general public chooses to dis- | regard the entire subject. Look in your various newspapers. They cater to the topics that inte- rest everyday readers and you'll notice that Korean war news is kept to a minimum. Publishers have it within their power to wake the people up—let them know a war is going on—and yet they have failed to do so, Why? Partly because of the general | disinterestedness that exists and, (I imagine), partly to the way cen- | Sors permit the news to come thru | from the Front. | The government of the United States appears content to fight a stalemate action. I don’t think a single official has ever denied that we could win the war tomorrow if we really made up our minds and {threw our weight behind the Arm- | ed Services.
