Yenan Prepares Plan For Collaboration With Kuomintang
By ROBERT P. MARTIN
(United Press Staff Correspondent}
SHANGHAI, Aug 12 (UP).-Chinese Communist quarters here hinted to the United Press to-day that the Yenan Com- munist border region government was laying the groundwork of a plan for continued amicable relations with the Kuomintang in the future, especially in the post-war reconstruction period.
The Yenau regime governs sections of Shansi, Kansu and Ninghsia provinces, and preparations for future Communist- Kuomintang collaboration are being made in these areas.
Communist sources revealed

Firstly, that of the total number of candidates in n given election, only one-third will be Communist Party members and the remaining two-thirds will be members of other
and parties partisans;
non-
Secondly, if members of the Communist Party are elected heads of government organs the Party will guarantee that two-thirds of the officers of any such organ would not be Communista.
ACUTE PROBLEM
Although the first pro- vizion is nullified by the fact the overwhelming majority of volers in the border region are Communists and would vote nsa block, thereby de- feating the split vote for the non-Communist
candidates,
the second provision, tends to offset one of the chief pro- blems fucing the Communists. This-is-the-fact-that-Com--- munist domination of govern- ment organs and administra- tive bodies is so strong that the Communist Party's claima that it is more democratic than Chungking's Kuomintang has little meaning. This problem was acute when I visited Yenan two years ago, and according to Communist sources it is still of major importance.
Communist sources say ad- herence to this two-point resolution throughout the Yenan border region would tend to disprove counter- charges by Chungking that wherever the Communists
gain political control they also. assume complete administra- tive control at the expense of other party members.
BASIC DIFFERENCE' One of the basic differences between the Kuomintang and the Communists throughout the war has been Chungking'a claim that wherever Com munist guerillas operated they have attempted to establish an administrative organisation which gave allegiance to Yenan rather than to Chung- king. This created. the fear. that in time, the, Communists. might become more, powerful than the Kuomintang.
Communist sources say this claim has been disproved by the Communist platform guaranteeing to minor party members representation and positions in the government.
Whether the platform will · actually be carried out, arid whether it would have any effect on future Kuomintang-, Communist relations; will bo shown only by developments.
PRIVATE PROPERTY : Tho Communist platform also seeks to allay Kuomintang Com- suspicions that the
munists are planning conë" fiscation of property. In ane other resolution the Party, promises to "develop exten- sive industrial production and.
commerce,
At the same time, the plat- form indicates the Communist party's determination to main- taln its basic programme against large tenancy and absentee land ownership. It also contains a plank in which the party promises to pro- teet, "in sections where dis- tribution of land has been made, the property rights of farmers who have received shares, and, in sections where no distribution has been per formed, the property rights of landlords, on condition of reasonable lowering of land rents and readjustment of relations between farmers and landlords." All this is sub- ject to wide interpretations.
ANTI-JAPANESE FRONT The platform reiterates the Communist determination to
