Reports from Viet Nam say
the communist revolution in
the north already is beginning
to devour its own children in
the manner of all communist
revolutions. These report's say
that among the purged is the
Red’s brilliant architect of mil
itary victory in the non h. Gen.
Vo Nguyen Giap.
If this is true — and it seems
fairly well documented — it is
important political news. Giap’s
communism was orienl ed to
ward the Chinese more than to
ward the Russians. His purge
would carry the strong hint of
a struggle (between two factions
in (the party.
The reports from Hue. where
Giap spent his early years, say
Giap has not been seen in pub
lic for more than a month, and
that to cover up his disappear
ance, the communists of North
VieT Nam are spreading rum
ors that he is on a secret tour
in Ghina or Russia.
The Red press and radio re
main silent on the matter but
word is spreading that Gian is 1
in prison. And fear is spreadng
among /.he communsts that the
purge will envelop thousands
of them.
Giap is 43 years old. His life
has been mostly violence. A
brilliant studeni1, he was a pro
fessor of history and geography
in Hatnoi at the age of 26, ibut
his revolutionary ad ivity dat
ed all the way back to his teens
Giap igot his training as a
communist party leader from
the Chinese communists, a
mong whom he spent a number
of years before World War II.
He returned to Viet Nam in
1943 and became a leader of
guerilla forces fighting the Jap
anese occupation.
At 34, Giap was Ho Chi
Minhs’ first interior minister,
and at 36 he (became the com
munist commander in chief.
His military leadership was
confined iio leading a long, fur
tive, Ibloody struggle against
the (French in the jungle fast
ness of Indochina, hut he con
ducted the war brilliantly.
A fervent Marxist. Giap is es
sentially a tman of violence and
a man given to extreme solu
tions of political problems. One
as brilliant and as ruthless as
Giap surely was a leading con
tender for the pinnacle of ooli
tical power in l‘he new “Peo
ples Democr'acy.”
This is not the first time
that the Viet Nam communists
have gone through a .purge.
They felt the heavy hand at
Moscow once Ibefore, in a thor
oughgoing purge of “right de
vdationists,” who were those
communists suspected of put
ting nationalism before their
allegiance (to the Kremlin.
A purge of Giap likely would
be the work oif Moscow once a
gain. North Viet Nam is an a
grarian country and the com
munist party was organized
there on the Chinese pattern.
Bui. Moscow has exhibited jeal
ousy of such Chinese influence,
notaibly in North Korea and in
the Japanese communist party.
There would ibe a suspicion
that Giap was more Marxist
than Stalin, and more Nation
alist than is considered safe for
communist leaders. It is known
that in his youth Giap wavered
between embracing socialism
and communism, and became
an ardent communist after his
wife died in a French prison.
The report is just one more
hint of a clash of interests be
tween the Moscow and Peiping
parties.
