SOVIET HAND IN CHINA
Civil war has broken out again in
China, but the significance of it is
greater than the mere statement im
plies.
The world is used to Chinese civil
wars, which, like the circus side
shows, are going on all the time. A
mere civil war attracts only casual
attention, followed by a yawn.
Interest in the present disturb
ance in China is in the circumstance
that the trouble has taken on a
grave international aspect and that
its seat of origin is not in Canton
or Peking or any other Chinese city,
but in Moscow, the capital of soviet
Russia. The soviets are openly
charged with being responsible for
the outbreaks in China and with
adopting this means of striking a
blow at Japan and indirectly at the
so-called capitalistic system of the
world.
a conservative press association fur
nishing the Gateway with daily hap
pening of the conflict, to make so bold
a statement regarding international
affairs as that which came out of
Washington a few days ago. It was
said that the Associated Press had
received information “pointing to di
rect Russian soviet participation in
an impending struggle for the con
trol of China. The preparations al
ready made contemplate a civil war
of major proportions, centering in
the northern province and dwarfing
in importance the present sporadic
disturbances in the South.”
The fear that Moscow* is support
ing one of the leading military gen
erals of China while Japan is sup
porting the other, leads to the natur
al conclusion that two great nations,
different, in their fundamental out
looks, may come to grips for mastery
of China, through the venality of the
“tuchuns,” or governors, who appear
to be influenced by whichever fac
tion produces the most money. It
is useless to disguise the fact that
the aim of the soviet, notwithstand
ing is pious fabricaions, is for world
revolution. Lenine admitted as much,
as have his followers, and the for
mer ordered his famous “retreat” only
as a means of consolidating gains
already made.
Soviet agitation has been going on
in South Africa, Afghanistan, Bul
garia, Italy, Morocco and numerous
other countries. Nobody takes seri
ously any denial from Moscow that
its intentions toward any non-soviet
country are remotely friendly. The
evidence to the contrary is too over
whelming. The agitation in China,
which no doubt has been selected be
cause of the absence of any real
authority there, carried the most
sinister meaning because of the size
of the nation and the scale of opera
tions and because it brings Russia
and Japan back into the arena of pos
sible combat.
A major civil war in China, in
volving evidence of open conflict be
tween Japan and soviet Russia, would
be watched with the keenest inter
est and anxiety by the rest of the
world, for we have learned that such
a struggle as that would be are not
easy to hold within “local” bounds.
