Although the SSFA planned to celebrate the February 9 anniversary of the
Sino-Soviet Friendship Pact, surprisingly little is said on the subject, suggest-
ing that more enthusiasm on Sino-Soviet friendship is hard to arouse. In the
meantime, high officials reporting to the CPPCC offer their customary obeisance
to Stalin and Mlenkov. The USSR is praised for her aid, the outstanding' example
of this aid being return to China of her own railway appropriated by the Russians.
Adoption of superior Soviet methods still is pressed, and plans are laid for
"large-scale study" of the Russian language. Application of the term "Ankang"
to the Anshan steel mill area suggests that "Stalingrad" may be under considera-
tion as a new name for the place.
Moves to tighten the Party stranglehold are clear, with Party informers still
receiving special praise. However, evidence of bureaucratic weaknesses grows,
and the teacher shortage indicates that teachers are not pleased at brilliant
new plans to regulate their "hours of study, instruction, and rest."
References to the.RAAK drive still are vague, but North Korean pressure is
indicated by a visit from Korean railway workers, and Chinese soldiers in Korea
are promised a stronger RAAK movement. Reports that thousands of Korean orphans
have been sent to China; that people are dying from famine and cold; that Korea
has launched a campaign against "searet'agents"; and that city workers must refrain
from Spring Festival home visits to save transport, all testify to the growing
war burdens. That Eisenhower's policies will expand the war apparently is accepted
as certain, with emphasis placed on the dissension that this is causing between
the United States and its allies.
The Dalai Lama and Panchen Lame send "apologies" for not attending the CPPCC;
later it is explained that their failure resulted from transport difficulties.
Southwest reports indicate trouble among minority groups there, while organisa-
tion of teams to inspect PLA notion in Sinkiang further verifies conflict between
the Army and Sinkiang natives.
