World War III If
China Loses War
(Continued from Page One*
Chinese newspapers said he was
back in Shanghai, soon perhaps to
become another civil war battle
ground.
He spoke as director general of
t h e Kuomingtang (government)
party.
Communist forces swirled
around Soochow (Wuhsien), only
50 miles to the west, as Chiang’s
statement was made public.
Chiang said the communists
were seeking to “enslave the Chi
nese people to the cause of inter
national communists by attempt
ing to make all China the military !
base and source of manpower for j
the benefit of the communist plan
for world domination.”
Chiang promised full support to
the government of Li, but pledged
to “share the sufferings of my fel
low countrymen.” Thus he may
have chosen this means of coming
from retirement to lead China in
her battle against communism.
He called on his people to fight
as hard against communism as
they did against the Japanese in
eight years of war.
The generalissimo said the Reds
by crossing the Yangtze had blun-1
dered into the same military errors
that mired the Japanese in their,
conquest of China.

Reds Seize Putung
In Surprise Move
SHANGHAI, (/P)—Reel guerril
las in a surprise coup today seized
Putung, right across the Whang
poo river from Shanghai.
At the same time nationalist
troops abandoned Soochow' (Wuh-!
sien>, guardian city for Shanghai!
50 miles to the west.
(Red possession of Putung in
any strength could make all oper
ations on the Whangpoo, includ
ing evacuation of foreigners, haz
ardous.
(Right across from Putung point
are the Chinese city council house, i
and the Briitsh and American con- j
sulates. The Whangpoo is less j
than one-fourth of a mile wide
there.}
The Shanghai garrison, .without
using the word withdrawn, said in
a communique government troops |
at Soochow had "shifted their po
sitions” to a point six miles near-1
er Shanghai.
Ten thousand communist troops!
participated in the Soochow battle.:
The nationalists said they killed
5,000 Reds.
From Sorhow the Reds may j
pivot toward Hangchow', 85 miles
south of here, or may turn direct-1
ly toward Shanghai. |

“Capitalism And
Communism Can
Live Side By Side”
PARIS, (/P)—V. P. Volgin, vice ^
president of the Soviet academy
of sciences, told the communist
led “world congress for peace” to
day that capitalism and commun
ism can live peacefully side by
side.
Volgin said this in backing up a
statement made to the Congress
Saturday by O. John Rogge, for
mer assistant U. S. attorney gen
eral. Rogge had told the congress
that the United States is not
threatened by the Soviet Union
and the Soviet Union is not threat
ened by the United States.
“This gives people a different
outlook on the prospects for world
peace,” said Volgin, who heads the
Soviet academy’s history and phi
losophy department. The congress
cheered hi,m.
Volgin took exception, however,
to Rogge’s criticisms of the Soviet
Union. Rogge drew boos and cat
calls Saturday when he said there
was insufficient freedom for po
litical minorities in Russia.
“He is talking about something
he knows nothing about,” Volgin %
said. “Every unprejudiced person
can see in the Soviet Union that
exploitation of man by man does
not exist.”
time she had tried repeatedly, but
without success, to bring to the
eyes of the statue what many wit
nesses who had seen previous
demonstrations called “tears.”
Repeatedly since the girl picked
up the head of the broken statue
after it had been discarded April
2, she had kissed the figurine, af
ter which, scores of witnesses said
a watery substance coursed down
the cheeks.
