in discussing Secretary of State John Foster Dulles- Mace
stated that the Chinese hope he will not be replaced because of hs
illness. According to Mao, Mr. Dulles is a predictable man with
full knowledge and a deep understanding of his role in U.S.
imperialism.
Mao continued that Mr. Dulles is a man of his word and
because he lives up to his code he has helped the Chinese very
much. In this regard Mao stated that at first the Chinese had
some problems in the organization of communes. However, when
Mr. Dulles opposed the communes he practical) assured their
success since his remarks were quoted to the Chinese people and
the initial organizational obstacles were overcome. Mao stated
that the people of China are now organized and that communes
will continue to be a permanent feature in China. He stated
that although at the moment the Chinese people are poor and Vie
cultural level is not too hi h the communes will eventually
overcome poverty and raise the cultural level. He stressed
the fact that at first the Soviet Union was not in fully
agreement with the Chinese regarding the communes but subsequentip.'
fealized this mistake and is now in complete agreement with rspe~x
to the communes.
At the end of the interview Mao discussed the Communist
larty9 USA, and said that in defeating revisionism it had bec* e
a strong party. He stated that the English and French fi-our19oisic
are not afraid of their Communist parties because they know at3 d
understand the role of the Communist Party and act occordin X~.
Mao described this as a sign of strength. He continued the the
U.S. is afraid of the Communist Party because it dots not uAder-
stand its role and, therefore, because of this weakness, the U.S
is approaching its Past. stage.
