efficiency and maladministration

been imposed by China on this rich island.

For 50 years Formosa belonged to Japan and produced thousands of tons of rice, sugar, coal, copper, silver and gold for the Japanese. Now Formosa is under Chinese control, % WM There is a disheartening parallel between the Russian tactics the Chinese complain of in Manchuria and the tactics Chinese officials themselves are using here. There is looting, confiscation of private property, disregard for civil rights and terrorism here. Chinese army officers and men have even adopted the Red army's custom of stopping civilians on the streets and confiscating wrist watches and jewelry. Fate Is Unknown The fate of Formosa—an island | about the size of Switzerland with | a population of seven million—has | been unknown to the rest of the world since two Chinese armies were landed here by American forces soon after V-J day. With U. S. state department concurrence, China has been given a free hand in Formosa, Formosa today is being bled white by officials sent here by Chungking. Some of them -are reported to be amassing tremendous fortunes, There are sincere, able Chinese officials here as well, but they generally are without sufficient authority to act and many of them have requested transfer rather, than remain here and witness the studied exploitation of the people. Others are so underpaid they are forced to resort to shakedowns to live. ‘Squeeze’ on Rice Every phase of the Formosan people's lives is affected by government graft. It extends from some of the highest officials. down through district magistrates, mayors, police of - ficials and even petty clerks. There's a “squeeze” on rice which has helped send the price up by 1000 per cent over the market price before Chinese occupation. There's a squeeze on coal, sugar, salt, shipping, transportation, living accommodations and almost everything else. In some areas Formosans have

| revolted, Angered at what they

considered shady dealing by Chinese authorities in the sale of sugar, they broke into a warehouse at Tainan and burned 70 tons of gov-ernment-owned sugar. At Taichu a week later they smashed into another warehouse and burned 30 tons. Telephone lines between govern!ment offices—including American | military units—have been cut re-
