Th# New Majority Leader Takes His Seat
Great Purge in China
A tfreut purge ol "dissident elements” and of wavering
Communists is under way in China, and a dispatch from
Hong Kong says there are two possible explanations:
1 Guerrilla resistance throughout the mainland may 1
have la-come too strong for Chinese Communist authorities
to deal with in anything short of Ihe strongest measures
2. The Chinese Reds, possibly believing World War III
e inevitable, may be eliminating all dissident elements
In spite ol Nationalist reports of widespread guerrilla
activities on the mainland, the second of the two possible,
explanations is the more tenable It is general Communist ,
practice everywhere to liquidate "deflationists” and others
under suspicion when trouble looms The great Soviet Rus-*
sum purge of the mid-19.‘tfts supplied the pattern Russia had
hired Germans to train her armies, and thousands of Rus-
l.i come suspect and were liquidated.
There have been reports that Moscow was displeased at
Th.-rc have been reportsthat Moscow was displeased at
the large numbers of persons, estimated by some at 5,000,*
(Mill, who had been admitted to the Chinese Communist
Party What Moscow wants everywhere is a comparative
handful of hard-core die-hards whose loyalty is beyond (
doubt
The current purge in Chn.a may be in furtherance of
a Moscow order to Mao-Tse-tung to clean up his party It
is Mao's votive offering to the throne of his little tin god.
Stalin.
Whatever the explanation, China is undergoing an in-
ternal blood bath. From Hankow this week the Commun-
ists themselves reported that 43.899 “bandits" had been "elim-
inated" there Thousands more elsewhere have been pu* in
"re-education" camps
The great purge has been going on for two months
starting before China began to make war on the United
Nations in Korea. It seems rather obvious that China thinks
World War III has started
