SUMMARY
In pais i new Chinese construction, visiting Satellite students give credit to the
"laeting-friendship of the People's Democracies," suggesting that they consider
the mucceseee a triumph for the USSR rather than a tribute to Chinese ingenuity,.
The growing practice of sending amen groups of Chinese to the USSR, to return and
sell Soviet ideas at home, might indicate that Soviet experts in China are not meeting
with full success.
Women still replace men as field hands, but reports of a new factory for "unemployed women,
coupled with widespread efforts to force implementation of the preferential
treatment progr s gest that the mere shunting of women to the fields is not solving
the problem f lost manpower and resulting helpless dependents. A private factory
Is accueed of injurimg the health of its workers by long work hours, but nothing is
said of Government pressures for completion of processing orders. Protests at the
bombing of Pyongyang, represented as a "peaceful area," new germ warfare ohargea, and
no claims of air attacks on China, are used as a lever to force new efforts from the
war-weary Chinese. Some encouragement is offered them in reports that the American
steel strike, represented as a protest of American workers against the Korean ear,
is eeriouely hindering American efforts.
Power rationing for industry and adapting of power plants to low-grade coal are
repetmented as part of the increased production and economy program, but suggest a
serious coal shortage rather than a step toward greater production. Claims that
trade' problems are being solved by agreements with Satellite nations are dampened
by edmIeelone that trade with Britain, and "ail nations," would be welcome.
A reorientation of agricultural school programa, and priority loans for mutual-aid
groups, indicate new efforts toward collectivization of agriculture, but imports
are the happy life at one collective village, 'bleb has a Soviet tractor, are scarcely
convincing in view of the fact that women do field -work there, 'which was not customary
in pre-Liberation days.
