For What They Really Are
FOR A LONG TIME it has been growing increasingly
evident that Red China has been lying in its claims of
success for the commune system—the system requir-
ing families to be herded into huge barracks-like areas
and to be compelled to practice collective farming here,
collective industrial work there.
And particularly exaggerated, it seems, have been
Red China’s claims for agriculture.
Meanwhile, the Red Chinese have attempted to speed
up the industrial production at such a rate that badly
needed foods were being shipped into Communist bloc
countries to finance the program. Now the Commun-
ist chickens are coming home to roost and Red China
is in serious trouble. Peking recently even has been
admitting it is confronted with rising public,discontent
and “sabotage from reactionary elements.”
The country probably was hurt by drought condi-
tions and poor crops in 1959, but the basic cause is
believed to be the commune system and Communist

Only 15 per cent of the teen-

enjoy it.
Apparently it doesn’t supply
enough activity to burn up all that
teen-age energy. "It's too dull,"
says Roy A. Schlosser, 17, at Ro-

"Why watch birds*” says 18-year
old Barby Sexton of Liberal. Kan
“They don’t watch people.”
And 13 year-old Barbara Holmes

to bird watch, but you have to be

nothing to do with it. Usually a

that attempts are being made to avert mass starva-

ing has bought 300.000 tons of wheat from Australia
and 350,000 tons of rice from Burma. Further large
purchases of wheat from Canada also have been made.
It is unfortunate that hundreds of thousands of in-
nocent Chinese should be forced to suffer while ware-
houses in the United States are bulging with surplus
food. But the United States should not do anything.
If we were to offer aid and it were accepted, it would
either be acknowledged or would be publicized as a
confession of weakness on our part. And aid to Red
China would indirectly be aid to the regime.
. So it would seem that it’s far better for a bandit
government to be shown up before its own people for
what it is than to be reinforced with well meant but
ill-advised aid from the United States.
And if we decide to give away some of our surplus
food, there are other hungry people whom it can be
given. President Kennedy, you will remember, says
thousands of us go to bed hungry every night.

About 20 world's fairs have been I
held since the British first broke I
the ice with the "Great Exhibition 1
of the Works of Industry of All
Nations" in 1851, and the United
States has been host to nearly
half. 7
In the 20th Century the Ameri-

expositions have been held since ■
the Paris Fair in 1900, and six I
took place on U. S. soil. j

NOT LONG AGO the Soviet Union I
announced it would play host at a I
world's fair in Moscow in 1967. I
The Kremlin said the fair will be I
open to all nations “regardless of I
their government and social sys- I
tems.” I
Although world's fairs are a fair- I
ly recent invention—the idea was I
born in the mind of Queen Vic- Q
toria's consort, Prince Albert, in I
the mid-19th Century—fairs of less-
er dimensions have thrilled man-
kind since the Middle Ages.
, Fairs originated as gatherings of
pilgrims at sacred sites. Canny
merchants found these ideal places
to exhibit their wares. This in
turn attracted entertainers and I “
crowds, with prince and peasant •
rubbing elbows in a spirit of fes-
tivity.
Gradually, as their popularity i
spread across the Old World, fairs
shed their early emphasis on wor-
ship and became attractions of fun'
and commerce.
When European fair-goers emi-
grated to the New World, they
brought their fondness for these
periodic festivities with them.
Young America's fairs pulsed with
contests of marksmanship, foot-1
racing, tug-of-war, cooking and oth-1
er homemaking skills, all in an
atmosphere of carnival gaiety.
Then, little more than a century
ago, Prince Albert launched a new
era of super-fairs with the first
world's fair, a sensational exhibi-

Palace. A
