In a statement made in Shang- hai on July 21, she demanded that American troops in China go home and that no loans or lend-lease aide be given to the Chiang Kai- Shek minority government until it is reorganized democratically. Previously , all wings of the Chinese trade uniecn movement from the right-wing Kuomintang Commiunist-con- trolled organizations in the north- rn part of the country warned that American assistance to one side is bound to cause a major civil war in which millions must die. Madam Sun’s present statement is not the first she had made on this subject. As early as Decem- ber 15,: 1943, in an appeal printed by ALN, she asked American war workers to “make known their de- sire that the men who fight fas- cism behind the Japanese lines— the Chinese guerrillas—should get their fair share of supplies and weapons.” Madam Sun then said: ‘“China’s resistance has faltered when re- actionary forces have committed open treason by going over to the enemy or made the enemy’s task easier by supressing the people and their initiative. American la- ber can express its interest in China's democracy by going on record against the threat of civil war, which some Chinese reac- tionaries are preparing.’ Today, she adds the warning that China’s internal conflict may spread into & new world war There is a growing demand among millions of China’s people for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from China, and many prominent American citizens men have voiced their opposition of U.S. policies in China. Briga- dier General Evans F. Carlson of the U.S. marines warns that “with the U.S. providing direct or in- direct support to the Central Gov- ernment, it can constitute the powder keg for the precipitation of a third world war.” ' and military 4 By ISRAEL EPSTEIN This farmer of Hunan province, China, hitches his three daughters to the plow in a desperate effort to avert starvation.

Palestine has 10,428 square miles area, about the size of New Hamp- shire. Under the plan, the whole southern half would be directly ruled by the British government. Another 400 square miles would be under direct Arab rule. The “|remaining 1500 square miles, not more than some American coun- ties, would be the Jewish National Homeland, under direct Jewish rule. Over the whole would be a farcial government of mixed Arab and Jewish delegates, and over them, “with pewers some- what like that of a Wiceroy” will be the British High Com- missioner. No better plan for permanent struggle between the cramped and crowded Arab and Jewish “states” with the British in the role of Oriental potentate and “arbiter” over all could have been devised. It guarantes British control over a permanently divided peo- ple, and British possession more or less forever of the highly im- portant Palestinian air fields and harbors as well as control of Levantine trade routes. To guarante trouble, appar- ently, the plan prohibits further Jewish immigration into Pales- fine. Indeed, the land space al- lotted would alone practically stop immigration, since the Jew- ish sector is the mest densely inhabited corner of the country.
