the South China Sub-bureau issued a direc-
tive of Chinese Communist aims as follows:
a. Chinese Communist propaganda directed outside the country was to be in
line, for the present, with the Geneva Conference.
b. In order to strengthen the atmosphere of peace, the aim was to isolate
the United States and divide the United Nations.
c. he main objective was to halt war for a three-year period..
The directive stated that if a three-year peace were gained., the Chinese
Communists could defeat the United states and the United Nations at any
time after that three-year period, but that war with the United States
within two years would be extremely dangerous for China.
Canton, whichwasinafinancial crisis,'was cited as an example of the present
critical c6ndi6ion in China. The Canton tax receipts for 1953 were more
than J lP 800 billion. Tax receipts in 1954 were to have been '"MP 1,000
billion, but JNF 200 billior. ',ad been collected,
and the total for 1954 probably would not reach aN 500 bit." ion. This was
the first drop in tax receipts since the Communist take-ove:r..ie
Comment. The Chinese Communist government is worried and will
strengthen its peace propaganda.
