‘American Beasts’

Screaming students march through Shanghai, Peking, Tientsin and Nanking, crying out against the “American beasts.” ~The voices of the few students with courage enough to demonstrate against Russia’s continued coritrol in Dairen, Manchuria, went unnoticed. The spark that fired the last

propaganda attack against Ameri-|

that she had beén raped. Head-in-Sand Attitude

The reason the United States is coming out second in the war of words here is the head-in-sand attitude of the state department which continually discounts any Soviet-inspired attack against

ns. ‘ The state department, according 10 ‘press association dispatches, brushed aside the Communistinspired student demonstration with the naive comment that “Chinese students like to stage demonstrations.” : Apparently it did not strike the state department spokesman as important or significant that the demonstrations were viciously antiAmerican and that they paralleled

: the Communist party line in China.

Although every American here is aware that the slightest incident will be seized upon and exploited by, the Communists, the U, 8. embassy did not get around to issuing a clarifying statement until well ‘after the Communist cry - was raised throughout China. Aware of Beating

ington to confine its activities to publishing official documents, innocuous government releases and press dispatches. Both the information service and American consular employees are aware of the beating the U. 8S. is taking on the propaganda front, but no one is permitted to do much about it. The state department airily dis“missed the Soviet's summary ousting of a U, S. navy ship from the “free port” of Dairen recently with the comment that the Russians “are co-operating.” Meanwhile at Dailen the editor of the Soviet-sponsored newspaper addressed the Chin ese-Russian friendship Soviet, charging that America supported Japan against China and that Russia was China's “real loyal and dependable friend.”

the state department's stand on the Dairen incident and urged that Admiral’ Charles Cook Jr. 7th fleet commander, who permitted Ameri can’ newspapermen to accompany the navy courier vessel to Dairen, be withdrawn. Such a withdrawal, the Newsletter said,” would be “a warning to ‘the U. 8. navy that matters of high’ diplomacy are still in the hands of the state department.” ; The Communist - inspired New . China news agency declared today, “the American imperialists with their running dogs in all countries and their remnants of fascists have become the public enemies of all humanity.” “*“On the other hand,” the article continued, “there are the successes of Socialist reconstruction in the Soviet union and the victory of her peaceful democratic foreign policy.” The steady day-by-day impact
