Yenan Prepares Plan

For

Collaboration

With Kuomintang

By ROBERT P. MARTIN

(United Press Staff Correspondent)

SHANGHAL, 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, ospecially in the post-war reconstruction period.

The Yenan regime governs sections of Shansi, Kansu and Ninghala provinces, and preparations for future Communist- Kuomintang collaboration are being made in these arens.

Communist sources revealed that the recent meeting of the Central Political Council of the Communist Party in Yenan drew up a political platform, of which

one of the chief planks was a resolution pro- viding:

Firstly, that of the total number of candidates in a given election, only one-third will be Communist Party members and the remaining two-thirds will be members of other parties and non- partisans;

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 Communists,

ACUTE PROBLEM.

Although the first pro- vision is nullified by the fact the overwhelming majority of voters in the border region are Communista and would vote as a block, thereby de- feating the split vote for the non-Communist candidates,

the second provision tends to offset one of the chief pro- blems facing 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 claims that it is more democratic than Chungking's Kuomintang has little meaning. problem was acute when I visited Yenan two years ago, and according to Communist

commerce,

encourage estab lishment of private enter prises, protect private pro- perties, welcome, investments from outsiders, promote free- dom of trade, and develop handicraft Industries and co- operatives."

At the same time, the plat- form indicates the Communist party's determination to main- tain its basic programme against large tonancy and absenteo land ownership. It also contains a plank in which the party promises to pro- tect, "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

carry on the anti-Japanese war in close co-operation with the Kuomintang, utilising all 're- sources, and man-power avail- able. However, the platform declares that such

resources and man-power would also be utilised "for the defence of the border region" against all encroachments, indicating that the Communists would not accept passively any anti- Communist effort to crush the Yenan government,

The platform advocates in- ternal reforms in the judicial system, including abolition of "flesh punishment," asaur- ances of honest political ad- ministration and punishment for corruption. It also ad- vocates state aid in the form of tools, fertilisers and *seeds to farmers, reclamation of waste land, enforcement of Д 10-hour working day, Improvement of the standard of living, ganisation of a taxation sys- tem under which all taxes would be in proportion to the size of property holdings or incomes, and promotion of health.

or.

The platform urges guar- antees for freedom of religion. speech, assembly and press, and welcomes all foreigners travelling or living in Chinn for religious, cultural, dustrial purposes.

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 Communlats

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's 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 clajm 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, and whether it would have any effect on future Kuomintang Communist relations, will be shown only, by developments. PRIVATE PROPERTY The Communist platform also sceka to allay Kuomintang auspicions that the Com- muniste ero planning con- fiscation of property.
