Feels Communism Not Rooted Deeply In China

SAN FRANCISCO UPD-Therel is no strong evidence that Com- > munism in China has rooted itself! permanently in the minds of its 600-million people, Frank H. Bartholomew told a group of civil and industrial leaders here today. Bartholomew, president and general manager of United Press International, said evidence seems to support the contrary view that the masses consider themselves under the rule of “still another war lord.” “They go about their business as they have for thousands of years regardless of whose flag is flying. “Private armies have marched and counter - marched across the land through all recorded history, and to the Chinese peasants the present armies of Mao and Chiang Kai-shek may be more of the same. ' Future Will Tell “There has been speculation as to what will happen to free China when Chiang Kai-shek dies. Perhaps curiously, there has been little speculation as to the future of Communism on mainland China if Mao and Chou-en-lai were removed by death. These events themselves will reveal whether for the first time a foreign ideology has really rooted itself into China, or whether Mao and Chou-en-lai afe merely passing war lords who held the reains of government in their time because no stronger ! war lord successfully challenged them.” Meantime, he said, UPI is preparing to cover stories of Communist agitation throughout Asia. “As far back as July 3,” he said, “our correspondents were I reporting impending trouble in the j Quemoy-Formosa area. Trouble Widespread “There is trouble along the border of Red China and Burma. The atmosphere in Rangoon is tense. In Indonesia, the situation is far from settled. India is in, desperate economic straits. With her 400million people. India is a logical target of Communism. “Even in Japan, the big industrial nation of Asia, Prime Minister Kish is very worried about the grow'ng strength of the extreme leftists. “On the other side of the world, our correspondents report an increase in Arab nationalism. “We may not have seen the last country fall under Nasser’s sway. Western diplomats are agreed the Arab nationalism Nasser repre- : sents cannot be stopped. Howe*w, they also agree, he is his oM

man, although In practice he gives the appearance of being hostile to the West. This may improve in the new few months. East Europe Tense "The Jordanian position is most delicate. Jordan could not survive without outside help. “Our European correspondents tell me Eastern Europe is now in the greatest ferment since the autumn of 1956. before ‘Polish October’ when Gomulka came to power, and ’Bloody November’ when Hungary rose. “But perhaps the biggest story there will be the running feud between Yugoslavia and the Communist bloc. “We all are looking forward with interest to the congress of the Soviet Communist Party, now moved up to January, 1959, from 1960. “At the previous congress, in February. 1956. Khrushchev made his surprise indictment of Stalin.’ Bartholomew spoke .before a group of San Francisco industry presidents at a lunch at the Clift Hotel co-hosted by Earle Le Masters. president of the Pacific National Bank, and Herbert Cerwin of Herbert Cerwin & Staff, public relations consultants.
