China's Future Sir,-One goed piece of Chinese Reds prophganda has been that Chiang Kai-shek served the part of the world setshs to have may mean the prolonged agony of jerests of American Imperialists. The fact is that in his heart iof hearts Chiang Kai-shek izas been inst an-American; 1s outlook has been one of ignorant, feuda- listic warlord who governed country as if it is his personal property.

The sugar-coated words of the Kungs and Soengs have not al- tered a little of Chiang's unit Íress for modern democracy. Chiang has no ability nor is he willing to serve the interests of American imperialists. He thinks he is divine and Godsent, like other Sous of Heaven of Cathay who thought they were dispatch ed by providence to rule "foo- lish black-heads" within the four seas.

No, Chiang Kai-shek appears to be a defunct entity. What about the Reds? Are they serv- ing the interests of Russian tu perialists?

The peculiar feature Is that Chinese Communists appeat so natural and without feelin shameful when they publicly ad- mitted and confessed that they were a part of Cominform sys tem under Comrade Joset Stalin, In one of the local Communist
