T IDET "CF AM A LIT TO YE LIB RATED" :
MOADCAST TO DALAI LAMA:
A call to the Tibetan people and the Dalai Lemn to achieve peaceful
liberation was broodcnst by IIsi Joe Chin T so, Tibetan pntr iol and. V ice-
Chai.rmen of the _Chinghni Provincial People's Government, over the radio
station at S fining. He said that Tibet would have regional autonomy after
its liberation.
He first pointed out that Tibet was certain to be liberated., since it
was part of the territory of the People's republic of Chinn and the People's
Liberot ion Army was strong enough to f:ulf.?il. the . task of. iaUGr of ion.

they think:that Tibet: was too remote from
S in io ng,' Ch.inghni;'and S ilceng Province s,
which hod,nlrencly been liberated.
GeogroiLicn1 cliff icult ies could not
st;'op the PLA f rota marching- thew. No more
proof of this was needed. than the famous
tong March, he said. In Hainan Eland,
where the Kuomintang exurted every effort
to hold. on, less than a month was needed
to l ibex. et e it ent i ely.
He also called on them to harbour no
more illusions about getting help from
.r..
British and American im~~crinli:sts. The destruct ion .of the Kuomintang could
serve as e lesson of the futility of such. not ions.
They could be nssured that the Central People's Government, under the
lencl.ership of the Communist Party, was absolutely considerate of the. interests
and tredit ions of all component nationalities of the People's Le-public of
China and respected their frce.dom of religion.
Temples and monasteries in Chinghn i and Sinkiang and S ikeng had all been
thoroughly well treated since the liberation. Tibet would. have regional
autonomy after its liberation, according to the common programme of the
People's Political Consultative Conference.
The message ended with a call. to Tibetans to secure 'peaceful libernt ion
and to send e plenipotentiary delegate as soon as possible to conduct peace
talks in Peking, in order to save the Tibetan people from unnecessary losses.

Altogcther 36,300,000 people hove signed their, macs to the` pence,
appeal in ; ulgurio, Hungary, Uumnnio on'd Germany, not including Czechoslovakia
and Poland. whcre stot ist ics have not yet been released. In Korea, 3,970,000
people had signed by May 7. Despite suppression nod rest Trot ion by react iona y
governments in cnpit aliit countries, the pence s ignot uro drive hn-s.. also st art e d
there. In Zest Germany, occupied by: the American authorities, 90,' to 100, of
the adults linve.signed the 1 rice opted. The drive is also being onrVica out
in Joopsn, which is under the control of lvlacAr'thur.
The significance of the pence movement lies in the fact that pence-loving
people of the world are now organising and mobilising the people of the world
to continue-,to fight ngn inst the imperialist bloc, and to prevent the outbreak
of another world war. By the boycott of the people of the world. and the
further organ isnt ion and unity of the world's peace-loving .~ople, war in-
st igators.would be eliminated and a new world war avoided.
The pence appeal demands unconditional prohibition on the use of atomic
weapons. It is not because atomic weapons form the decisive factor in war,
but because the American imperialists are employing the atomic weapons as
a threat for large-sonic slaughter of mankind. Such a threat has aroused
the hatred and. indignat ion of the people of the world. And now a drive is
in progress to recruit nil pence-loving people to fight against the imperialist
warmongers and. to prevent another world war.
At present, the irno_oer inl ist bloc is met with serious daily-increasing
difficulties in the course of preparing for a' new war. Not long ago, Dean
1lcheson, the U.S. Secretory of State, who went to West Europe for the Foreign
Ministers' C,nference, increased further aid to European countries looking
for industrial expansion under America's og ressivc plan and the American
"total diplomacy" in order to intensify their preparot ions for war. But
reports from various sources show defeat of.the imerican imperialists.
Conferences of the some nature were held in Bangkok, Cairo, .The Hague,
Paris and. Tokyo. Acheson has started. an all-out offensive in total diplomacy,
and has also time and again reaffirmed the boycott of the Soviet Unions
r';mer'icon aircraft invaded the territorial air of the Soviet Union. 13idoult,
obey tog the order of the American imperialists, proposed a Supreme Council
for the Atlantic. All these were clone before the opening of the London
Conference, which was aimed to form a new alliance based on the Atlnnt is
Pact in order to unify American direction in economic, political and, military
plans.
But the U.S. Government has been faced with icnt difficulty in adopting
Bidault's blueprint. [,est Germany's position in the new war remains unclari
f ied. In military matters, divisions and conflicts between the U.S. and
Britain have become obvious lately.
Similar things have also hnp; gene d in regard. to A Sinn j?r oblems. The
Ministers' Conference did not mention anything about the Japanese Peace
question. This shows a serious deadlock exists among the Ministers. However,
it does not mean that the London mooting was neglected by peace-loving people.
The eonferenc further revealed the i?fperialists' intensions for a long-
term occupation of West Germany and Japan. The Conference has also further
en1ainq cl the motive of the A,nglo-American imperialists in.,reor,,anising the
Atlantic alliance nd in broadening their ag lessive plans.
At present, under the direct control of the 1merican imperialists the
various reactionary governments are employing every barbarous means to suppress
the people and are carrying out Fascist and nnti-Communist measures against
the strength of the people. anti-Communist legislation was proposed in
Australir-, and South Africa on April 27 and May 5 respectively. Under the
direction of the American impcrinlists t}ie puppet governments in host Germany
and Japan have also suggested. measures to ban the Communist Parties supported
by the people. ,
Under the direct ion of the American imperialists, Latin Amcr icon Govern
!ncnts, including Brazil, Part guay and Peru, have long prohibited the not ivit Ies
of the Communist Party, and Panama and other countries have recently declared
the Communist Party.. illegal.

of Hongkong depends entirely on the materials and mara)ovrer of the Chinese
people.
"Now Groat Britain has abruptly decided to subject our people entering
or leaving Hongkong to the same control as other nationals. Tnis unreason-
able measure, as the Vice-Minister of Ppreigna Affairs, Chan ; Han-fu, has
stated in his protest, is an unfriendly act towards the People's Republic
of China and her people.
"The 70 planes of the CNAC and the CATC novr in Hongkong are the State
property of the People's Republic of Ctsina. Our Government has time and
again notified the British Government that no interference, d~mnage, sabotage
or c;.,ans 'erence by anybody under under any pretext woulcl be tolerated.
"Since the British Government declared its desire to establish diplo:.
matic relations with our country, it should respect our.State property as
much a as it possibly can, But as a result of its failure to give proper pro-
tection, many planes suffered sabotage at the hands of bandits. Now it has
unreasonably detained all the planes. TtAs is .a highly unfriendly attitude
to adopt towards the People's Republic of China.
"Vie are convinced that unless there is an immediate change in the actions
and attitude of Great Britain, the only consequence can be to arouse the anger
of the Chinese people. In such a case Sino-British relations would be unable
to proceed on the, right track, and diplomatic talks now going on between the
two countries would not achieve any good result. , The responsibility will rest
fully on Great Britain." (NCNA Peking Morse English 2130-hrs 22 May)

.'LABOUR iMQ' RETURNS FROM MAY DAY IN MOSCOW:
"My visit to the Soviet Union has greatly heightened my confidence in
the successful reconstruction of our motherland," said Chao Kuo-yuy on his
return to Peking from the Soviet Union as one of the trade union May Day
delegation.
A 26-year-old lathe worker, Chao -Kuo-yu is a famous Chinese 'labour
hero.' vrhoso record-broakinc 'Stakhanovito' work in a Mukden engineering
factory served tol. start the now record movement in Manchuria. In his three
weeks' stay, apart from attending the May Day rally in Moscow, he visited
six factories, went to Lent ngrad,, and spoke to numerous workers including
some famous Soviet Stakhanovites.
"I was particularly impressed," he said,,"by the groat whoe-producing
:Factory I saw, which had boon totally demolished by German Fascist, There
it.was completely restored and working full blast. On seeing the photographs
of the demolished factory as it was just a few years ago, I realised what
Kard-won achievement this - and other great works in the Soviet Union -
represents of the diligent ,labour of Soviet workers. Nothing can be won
easily."
''We talked for hours," he said, describing his meeting imLeningrad
with G.M. Dubinin, a lathe-worker like himself and well-known throughout
the Soviet Union. They exchanged experiences and Dubinin brought along
other workers, too, to tell him of their work, Dubinin was extremely inter-
ested in the development of China, asked many questions about production
and difficulties that were encounteredv and presented Chao with many book-
:Lets showing the great achievements of the Stakhanovites in the Soviet Union.
"I was very interested in socialist emulation in the Soviet Union,
and asked him Lou Soviet Trade Union Committees direct emulation. And in
turn I told him about our new record movement in North-East China. I ex-
plained that we are meeting many$.fficulties, but we are confident we
can by our exertions overcome them."
They left firna friends. "In China,, vre have often talked about our
older brothers of the Soviet Union," said Chao. "Now we nave personally
experienced how dear they are to us."
''My impression of Moscow is that city is full of vigour and vitality.
i7hen work finishes in the evening, the whole city becomes buoyant. Every-
thing is well-ordered. You can but stand amazed at the wonderful things
working people can achieve, once they become masters of their destiny. The
Soviet Union clearly.poiits out the future prospect for China.'He was greatly impressed by the expression: of world working-class solid-
arity in the great May Day rally, with portraits of working-class leaders of
-rari ous countries carried by gigantic waves of marchers, and was particularly
moved by the -onrmth of friendship shown toward new China and the numerous
portraits of Chairman Moo Tee-turig carried in the procession.
"In placards held aloft by Soviet workers of various factories showing
the figures of -vcrfulf ilmont of pn uotion p3ana, T saw a, prnotioal expression
of the growing strength of that bulwark of peace, the Soviet Union. And this
feeling was further tiuinhtened when I saw the powerful Soviet armed forces
under review, on May Day. "
$uuintng up his impressions, Chao Kuo-yu said, "Leningrad suffered
most cruel devastation at the hands of the Fascists. But now it has
been turned by the workers into a beautiful city. Inspired by their
example, I fool certain our motherland will surely and swiftly follow
along the road opened out by the Soviet Union,"
And he added with great confidence, ""With the powerful Soviet
Union., led by the groat Stalin, and with all peace-loving people in the
whole world, we are certain to blast the schemes of ,the war instiga-
vors. On May Day, the working class of the world, led by the Soviet
Union, demonstrated that they are really a powerful force defending
world peace." (NCNA Peking Morse English 2130-hrs 22 May)

FOR BAGUIO CON?"EREN'CE:
In Taipch today, Foreign Minister George Yeah issued an official
statement on the Baguio Conference. The release said:-
"A joint statement was issued by President Chiang Khi-suek Aand
President Quirino on July 11, 1949 after their conference at Baguio,
in which it was. stated that, because of the lack of close cooperation
in the :past, the Far. Eastern countries were now facing threats of
Communism, and these countries should form an alliance immediately
to assist each other in bolstering Communist threats.
HIlowevor, the joint statement of President Quirino and Foreign
Minister Romulo, released this morning, is inaccurate. The forth
coming conference is to implement the joint statement of President
Chiang and President nui_rino with the aim of stopping the spread
of Communism.
"On April 21, President Chiang I ai-shek sent a letter to Pre-
sident Quirino to reaffirm the support of the Chinese Government
for the forthcoming conference and state his complete understanding
of the aims of the meeting.
"But today's statement by President Qui.rino and Foreign Minister
Romulo snows the impossibility. of uniting the Asian nations and coun-
tries in the fight against international Communism, and the Chinese
Government has no intention of participating in a conference of this
sort. The Chinese Government will release a statement to clarify
its stand." (Taipeh Radio Voice Kuo-yu 2130-hrs 22 May)
SIX COUNTRIES TO ATTEND:
President Quirino told the Press today that India, Pakistani
Ceylon, Siam, Indonesia and Australia would attend the Baguio Con-
ference. He announced tha names of the six Philippine delegates,
led by Foreign Minister Romulo. They include two Opposition party
members, The Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committees of both
Houses and members of both Government parties.
President Quirino will return to Baguio tomorrow to prepare for
the openi;;sg of the Conference. The Government is now intensifying
its mopping-up of resistance .forces to safeguard the Conference.

AMERICAN PLANS TO ENSL111E INDIA:
Not lone ago the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development,
which is under American con-crol, granted India another loan. The purpose
of this loan, like the previous one, is to shackle the Indian economy to
the American monopolists still more tightly.
By lending their dollars at an enslaving rate of .interest, the imper-
ialist sharks are striving to turn India into an appendage supplying agri-
cultural produce and raw materials, and into a market for shop-worn 2ooas.
American plans for enslaving India are disguised by hypocritical talk about
aid to under-developed areas.
The real aims of this American policy have been exposed in the Indian
Press. Thus the newspaper Searchlight -wrote that this aim is a smokescreen
for preparations to convert South-East Asia into a theatre of military
operations, regardless of whether the people want this or not. American
policy is aimed at preserving the colonial regime in India, at subjugating
the country to the interests of the American monopolists. -
This is borne out by the fact that the loans granted to India are used
primarily on measures facilitating exports of raw materials from the country,
and on India's conversion into a military vantage ground. The loans are
granted on shackling terms and a canditinn.of unceremonious interference in
the country's internal affairs.
. The Indian newspaper, Bharat Joti, recently wrote that American investors
of capital demand from the Indian Government the same...rights as those enjoyed
by Indian capitalists. Like their British colleagues, the American imper-
ialists are trying to fill their pockets by exploiting the Indian working
people.
At the end of last year, Indian and American industrialists met for a
conference at Delhi. The demands whicr_ the American monopolists formulated
at that conference give a clear idea of the true aims of American so-called
"aid" to India.
These demands have been discussed by the British Daily Worker. What
they boil dawn to is permission to take profits out of India freely, guaran-
tees against any form of nationalisation, and the preservation of so-called
nternai stgbili-ty. The last requirement means suppression of trade unions
and other organisations and a further increase in the terror and policy of
reprisals.
It is perfectly clear that should all these requirements be fulfilled,
the American monopolists would have unlimited-oI-)portuni ties for interfering
not only in Indian economic affairs, but in the administration of the country
as well. In short, this would lead to India's conversion into a colony not
only of the British, but of the American monopolists as well.
Under pressure from their senior partners, the Marshallised British
colonialists are forced to move out and make room for American capital in
India. This is illustrated by the f :>11 wing facts. Before the war the U.S.
accounted for )nly 601 of India's imports. In ' the year 1948 the figure
reached 2i4..61.
The penetration of American capital into India is increasing colonial
exploitation in the country. The American monopolists want to use India,with
its enormous po?ulation of millions, and its vast natural wealth, for their
aggressive aims of achieving world domination. They are out to turn India
into a base for suppressing the national liberation movements of the peoples
of Asia. All this spells fresh misery for the people of India.
In conducting this ^,olicy, entirely against the interests of the people,
the British and American imperialists share a common language with the Indian
reactionaries. It is an open secret, for instance, that at the Colpmbo' confer-
ence of A reign Ministers it was decided that the countries of the British Empire
would give Burma a loan of ?7,500,000 for suppressing the people's movement.
It is also common knowledge that battalions of Gurkhas from India and Paki-
stan are taking part in suppressing the movement in Malaya. To ,)lease the Bri-
tish and American imperialists,; the Indian Government has concluded an agreement
with the Mabaraoaa of Nepal to recruit Gurkhas for suppressing democratic move-
ments, both in India and abroad. (Moscow Radio Voice English 2015-hrs 22 May)

:1EI ING ASIC BRITAIN TO CLARIFY POSITION
ON DIPLU ATIC RELATION'S ;'IITIi CHINA :
A spokesman of teie Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Central Peoples s
Government of the People's Republic of Cnina today issued a statement on
negotiations concernin , establishment of diplomatic relations between China
Repeated Item and and Great Britain. The statement reads
as follows:-.
Peking Radio yesterday re-
peated the Tass story on the
opening of the ECAFE meeting
in Bangkok, when the. Soviet
delegate walked out after fail-
ing to secure recognition for
Peking's delegate (Vide Straits
Times May 10). This item was
the same as the one carried by
Moscow Radio on May 22.
The commentary on Peking
Radio last night was the For-
eign. Office statement on dip-
lomatic relations between Bri-
tain and China, as it appears
on this page. - Editor..
On January 6, 1950, the British
Government presented a Note to Foreign
Minister Chou En-lai, expressing a desire
to establish diplomatic relations with
the People's Republic of Cnina on a basis
of equality, mutual benefit and mutual
respect for territory and sovereignty.
The British Government on the same
day also announced its. withdrawal of re-
cognition from,., the remnant reactionary
clique of the Chinese Kuomintang.
On January 9, Foreign Minister Chou
En-lai replied to this Note, expressing
willingness to establisti diplomatic rela-
tions between Cnina and Great Britain.
And furthermore, on January 28, he accepted Mr. Hutchison, Charge
d'Affaires ad Interim, as nominee of the British Government for, the purpose
of coming to Peking as its representative to conduct negotiations on preli-
minary and procedural questions concert-ling es,tablisrvnent of, diplomatic
relations.
After Representative Hutchison arrived at Peking, negotiations on
establishment of diplomatic relations formally began on March 2. During
the course of the ne=gotiations, the Central People's Government verbally
mentioned to the British representative that a "question which was most
important and which must first. be settled was the relationship between the
British Government and the remnant reactionary clique of the Chinese Kuo-
mintan.
The Central Peoplo-'. Government considered that the action of the
British representatives in m.hstaining from voting in regard to..the right
of Chinese representatives on the United Nations, and the -:uestion of what
actually vra:. the attitude of the British Government to,.-rards various organisa-
tions of .iris remnant reactionary clique of the Kuomintang and the national
properties and assets of China in Great Britain, Hong,,g ong and territories
subject to Great Britain, as all pertaining to the question of relationship
between the British Goverment and the remnant reactionary clique of the
Chinese Kuomintang. Therefore, the Central People's Government wished the
British Goverment to clarify its position with re gaiTl to these two questions.
The British Government on March 17, through a verbal reply by Represent-
ative Hutchison, made some explanations with regard to the attitude of
the British Government on the above two questions. . The Central People's
Government considered that this explanation was not satisfactory.
In actuality, the Th iti sh Government has for five months consistently
abstained on the question of the right of Chinese representation In all the
subsidiary orgia-,isations of the United. Nations.
Also, -,' i th regard to planes no:isr at iionggkon r, -i,rhich are directly in the
possession and protection of tiro airlines (China National Aviction~Coxpor-
ation and the Central Air Transport Corporation of 'trio Civil Aeronautics
Bureau of China), the British authorities at Hongkong not only have obstructed
in many ways their flight to Com a, but have also failed to assume their real
responsibility in protectin, the Manes, to the extc;nt ti .it seven of them nave
met with destruction.
All such facts sufficiently indicate; that the British Government has not
been able to demonstrate by its real actions that it has actually severed

completely its relationship with the remnant reactionary clique of the
Chinese Ku.Qmintangg, and also -that it has not paid sufficient respect to the
rights of national properties and assets of the Central People's Government
aad its right to manage its properties and assets.
Therefore, the Central People's Government, on May 8, gave a special
Note to Representative Hutchison for transmission to the British Government,
asking it to clarify further its position with regard to the following two
questions - the right of Chinese representation on the United Nations and
the rights of Chinese national_ properties and assets.
But on the clay following tt e. notification, _that_i: s on May 9, the British
Government even ?ordered.,the Hongkong Court tc detain the 10 planes of the
CNAC and CATC, vrni ch were on Hongk.ong's Kaitak airfield. Ttiis action not
only proved that the British Government-did not respect the rights of national
properties and assets of the Central People's Government, and its right to
manage its properties and 'assets, i)ut also rclare ented i n actuality an
extremely unfriendly attitude towards the People's Republic of China.
The British Government, on the one hand, expressed a desire to establish
diplomatic relations bet-men China and Great Britain. On the other hand,
after expressing this desire, again and again it demonstrated that it had not
in reality completely severed its relationship with the remnant reactionary
clique of the Chinese Kuomintang.
The Central Pe:~~le's Government of the People's Reoublic of China consi-
clers that it is c,om;?letely necessary to ask the British Government to clarify
further again its position with regard to the central question of these in-
. rcnaistencies 'between declaration and action,

EXPORTS FROM SOUTH CHINA RISE
WILE IMPORTS PALL:
South China exports exceeded imports by three times in inril. The declared
value of goods approved for export was 86 of the total exports from January to
the end of March, and was unusually high in any single month, even for the last
tun years. In giving those estimates, the Nanfany Daily of Canton cites the
general price stability as the principal cause.
The bulk of the exports were vegetables and
34.81 The rest liras made up of
te.; and fabrics.
Total imports in April -.sere 37.3'' of the January figures. Chief items
imported were gasoline, rubber and rubber g ods, and soap which made up 34-17'
of too total. Foods and medicine -sore 17.24. - and cotton and cotton goods, 15.9
The rest ;-rerc chemicals,clyootuffs,, trucks and gunny sacks.
Confidence in the people's currency resulted from general improvements
after the nation's economy and finance came under unified control in ?arch. The
rate of forei r'n exchange was maintained at a cnnatan level, resulting in too
foreign exchange proceeds of exporters bcin~ channelled either through Government
banks or banks dosign ited by Govorronent. The official exchange rate was hi grior
than the blacknarket rate ter.oughout the month.
On the other hand, the steady decline in prices contributed to a decrease
in the volume of imports. Formerly, imported goods mere hoarded by speculators,

TOO MUCH Sl'.JCE GIVT+ T TO COT\TFr,:L;TTCE NE'33 ?N D1,ILY /pE,:S:
It has been found that newspapers devote to much space to publication
of conference news and act ivit ics of organisst ions.
1lecordinl to investigations made, publication of confer ' ncc news in
t ebruary occupied about l+0 ' of the space in the various newspapers, while
in L pr it only a slight modif icat inn was made. 1 or example in the Honan
Daily Nevis, the Nanf an Daily News, the S inhua La ily News of Chungking
and the Tsinan Pe cis Daily conference news alone occupied about 20 to
30, of newspaper space.
Hence, it has been decided that newspapers should devote less space
to publication of conference news.
But there are some important confereneesvihieh deserve attention, For
example, the news of the first llepresentativec Conference in Munchenghsien
published by the Iiopci ily News on 11pril 3,which carried important news of
the plans made by the farmers in producing for the country, the rood results
achieved, their activities and li.velihoocd, and the history of their past
are worth while publishing.
hat really should be omitted arc unimportant ryews items such as the
places at which certain conferences arc scheduled to be held, the ntunber
and names of the people present at these conferences, the subjects discussed.
These defects are often found in the Tsinan People's Dail,y,and the
Honan Daily News, whose reports on the first Stucent's Representative
Conference in Sh of ung and the f i_ st People's Representative Conference
in Honan, respectively, did not carry important facts from the conferences.
Vdhat was published in these -,apers were those unimportant news items anent ioned
above.
Newspapers should take note of the f olloviing point while reporting
on conference news:- Do not report on all conference news, but select those
items which hove a direct connect i )n with the people, and have a direct
bearing on the people's livelihood.
