Comme+nt. On the basis of available information.-ice 1a
egpnomic ,$t tu4*a, as evinced in negotiations attended by Communists and Demo-
oratic Laagurn representatives at Shihahiachuane., are contrary to indications
of Comm=lst th#nking based on information received from the suburbs of Peiping,
whichwo d.,,Indicate that thaCommunist attitude toward foreigners is friendly
and c nc i#tor
1. The Chinese Communist political outlook, as shown in the negotiations at Shih..
chl,aolauang, is formulated in terms of 14araian dialectics, following the lines
of that t _of the early Russian revolution end the rules of Lenin. It is ab-
saluLeIyy totalitarian, with no regard for non.-Communist liberal and democratic
$le-ments .such. as th" Democrattic Le ague+.
2. In their economic policy, they Chinese Communists show no improvem&nt over the
Kuomintang. There are fairly widespread instances of graft and corruption
among Communist officials at Shthchiachuang. During the early period following
the Communist occupation, business was good, but it is now completely bogged
down, with the accompanying inflation. White collar workers on all levels
receive, in addition to mea,30, the same allowance, consisting of fifteen catties
month, and two cotton suits and two pairs of shoes per year.

observed In Shihchiachuang.)
3. In terms of the attitudes of other nations toward tho Chinese Communists, the
latter divide the world into three groupst friendly powers, a category which
includes only the USSR; neutral powers. including all the satellites and such
other small nations as Norway and Finland; and imperialist and capitalist
powers, lad by the United States, Franca and Groat Britain. In a Chinese Com-
munist government, the nationals of the last grout will be allowed to remain
in China, provtd d that they stay strictly %J#yin their legitimate (ate) bound*.

but probably without commftit tious facilities to their own governments. Trade
and economic relations with the United States will be minimized or out off
abscalutply.
Comment. From the standpoint of liberal, non-Communist Chinese, the
ommun st program as outlined above shows the futility of attempting to influence
the Communists to accept democratic and liberal elements in a coalition govern-
ment for all China. The Democratic ILeague representatives, who favor the main-
tenance of economic relations with the United States, are on a useless mission
to Sbibchiachvang. )
