U.S. sitting on volcano, states Chinese paper PEKING The United States is sitting on a volcano of unrest and opposition as a consequence’ of its military aggression and anti-popular political intrigues in Asia, declares the Peking People’s Daily in a comprehensive review of American activ- ities. “What has been the result of ali this aggression?” asks the paper. “Half of Burma is under *control of the people’s armed forces. Guerilla war is raging in Indonesia. In Malaya, the liber- ated areas are growing. In the ‘Philippines, the people’s forces have grown to 200,000. Ninety percent of Viet-Nam is free and the Viet Nam People’s Army is marching on Hanoi. The Ameri- cans are sitting on a volcano.” Tracing U.S. activity in building up an aggressive line around China, after the Second World War—a line running from . the Aleutians, through Japan, Korea, Formosa, Indochina, Siam and Malaya to the Philippines — the Peking People’s Daily charges that the U.S. aim is to invade China from three direc- tions: Korea, Formosa and Indo- china. In Siam, declares the paper, the U.S. is maintaining Luang Pibul Songkram—‘‘Franco of the Far East”—in power, In Indochina, American arms and French armies hold the puppet emperor, Bao Dai, Warsaw Ghetfo archives found during rebuilding WARSAW The second part of the secret archives of Warsaw’s Ghetto con- tained in two hermetically sealed milk cans, were found in the course of the building work on the site of the former Ghetto. © The documents, which consist of diaries, copies of the underground press, reports, literary works and protocols, cover the period from March, 1943, until the last days before the heroic uprising by the Ghetto inhabitants. On his throne. And, it adds, in the Philippines “no one ever bothers to deny that the Philippines is still an American colony and that Quirino is an American lap dog.” In Siam, Americans are ‘“cooper- ating” in surveying rich mines and niow control tin and rubber exports. American domination of the coun- try’s industry and resources is be- ing extended at such a rate that even some right wing circles are becoming apprehensive. Indonesia presents a similar pic- ture of growing American domina- tion. Where before the war U.S. investments were only five percent of the total foreign investments in the country, now they are 40 per- cent, and the \U.S., through a 15- year agreement concluded in 1948, controls all Indonesian import-ex- port trade. One American rubber company now owns a million acres of rubber plantations and U.S. interests are pushing Dutch and British interests out of Indonesia. Britain’s tin monopoly in Malaya was broken in 1948 when the U.S. forced lifting of restriction on tin exports. At the same time, Ameri- can exports to Malaya are now eight times the pre-war figure, The Philippines are little more than a source of raw materials for the U.S. and a market for American goods, 90 percent of them consumer goods, with the result that the island’s native industry is smother- ed and one-sixth of the 18 million population is unemployed. Burma, as a result of its decision to accept American “aid,” and In- dochina where the French have been forced to relax their resistance to U.S. economic penetration be- cause of their worsening military position, are following the same path, the Peking People’s Daily concludes. Atrocities in Korea Although only a few of them have found their way into the columns of the Canadian daily press, accounts of South Korean and American atrocities in Worea, like that shown here, unequalled for horror and cruelty since the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, have shocked the world. In Britain, the Archbishop of York has written to the London Times praising the action of British troops in halting mass executions by the Syngman Rhee regime and declaring “If these barbarous executions continue, all sympathy with South Korea will vanish, and instead there will be a general demand that the forces of the United Nations should no longer be ustd to protect a government responsible for these atrocities.” What the archbishop failed to point out was that these atrocities are perpetrated in the name of the UN and could be halted by the U.S. Cartoons depict U.S. Aggression mediator.

Chou En-lai stressed the Chinese people’s defeat of Japanese im- perialism in a war which lasted eight years, devastated a large area of China and inflicted great loss of life and property on China. China and the Soviet Union agre- ed in the China-Soviet Treaty of February 14, 1950, Chou En-lai pointed out, “to strive for the ear- liest conclusion of the peace treaty with Japan jointly with other pow- ers which were allies during *he Second World War. This shows that the basic policy of the Central Peo- ple’s government of the People’s Republic of China is to strive for the earliest conclusion of a joint peace treaty with Japan and enable the Japanese people to achieve de- mocracy and peace at an early date.” Chou En-lai contrasted this poli- cy with the policy of procrastina tion, followed by remiliterization, adopted by the United States, “The United States has openly renounced the basis for the joint peace treaty with Japan laid down in the Cairo Declaration, the Yalta Agreement, the Potsdam Proclama- tion and the basic policies of the Far Eastern Commission towards Japan after her surrender,” he de- clared. Chou En-lai charged the '!US. with attempting to use its own pro- posals and the socalled “attainable agreement” as the basis for the peace treaty with Japan, to coerce other Allies into acceptance by threatening to “go ahead with pre- parations for a unilateral peace treaty according to its own plans and excluding the other allies.” Woman heads poll 4 GEORGETOWN Janet Jagan, secretary of the British Guiana Pelople’s Progressive party, won a four-cornered election recently to become the first woman ever elected to Georgetown Town Council. In an emphatic reply to the U.S. State Department's question of the peace treaty with Japan, Foreign Minister Chou En-lai declared that the People’s government will consider all treaty with Japan, no matter what their contents and results, as illegal and myalid unless “Dulles preparations Chou En-lai replies to Dulles: U.S. peace treaty with Japan illegal unless China participates PEKING memorandum” on_ the and drafting of a peace TRANSLATION FAKED LONDON A Soviet poster bearing the words in Russian “Peace will Conquer War,” was reproduced in the Brit- ish magazine Everybody’s, but the translation given by the magazine for consumption by British people was “We will Conquer the World.” This is one of the big anti-Soviet lies of the British préss which were exposed in detail by Ralph Parker, Telepress Moscow correspondent, when he spoke to a crowded Lon- don meeting recently. Giving an eyewitness account of life in the Soviet Union today, Par- ker sharply attacked the dishonesty of the British capitalist press. He said that a series of articles on the Soviet Union in the Sunday Express, written by former editor Jones of the British Ally—now de- funct periodical of the British For- eign Office in Moscow—contained Press lies exposed by Moscow newsman “a series of completely false state- ments.” “One of the first things I did on returning to England,” said” Par- ker, “was to challenge him to a debate, but Jones refused.” Another example given by Par- ker was that of Harrison Salisbury, Moscow correspondent of the New York Times, who wrote a series of articles on the great construction projects in the Soviet Union. The New York Times did not print the articles till publicly challenged to do so. Another American correspondent in' Moscow, Parker said, was. seri- ously upset because his agency has ordered him not to send stories on reconstruction as these were “not interesting,” but to send reports on anti-American jokes at music halls and circuses.
