Echoes of Soviet Army Day celebrations still are heard, with eulogies for Soviet
soldiers who "liberated the Northeast,,!' and stress on China's need to copy the
Russian A.my. Evidence that the Soviet advisers' role is to make the most of
what China has without new aid from Russia is seen in reports that Soviet experts
reduced soot resulting from use of low-grade coal.
Hundreds of trained Chinese railway workers are sent to Korea amid claims that "in
spite of heavy bombings" they prevented destruction of transport. Automotive
workers for the front are recruited by the RMK, suggesting that one aim of the new
RAAK drive is to supply trained manpower to cope with U.N. air attacks.
A Russian-type general election is planned, apparently for propaganda; it is admitted
that most of the voters are illiterate and do not understand voting procedures.
Hundreds of private contractors, unable to operate under a system which depleted
their capital and shut off their supplies, "now see the advantages of State jobs."
The-forcing of Post Office employees into the propaganda field seems to have back-
fired, as postal officials are accused of pressuring people to buy publications
and of issuing propaganda materials to employees as part of their pay.
Worry concerning East China coastal defenses still is evident, with sabotage and
armed resistance to the regime admitted in isolated instances. An order to
agriculture models to stick to production and "not waste.*time in attending meetings"
suggests a failure for one type of propaganda. These models have been busy
propagandlkagents for the Russian farm system.
Confiscation of an important British company in Canton and accusations against the
Hong Kong Government suggestnew pressure's on that colony. The opening in Peking
of an office for the Dalai Lama, and special propaganda efforts to allay Tibetan
fears regarding religious freedom, indicate new p?libies. concerning Tibet.
