Incident In Mukden

LTHOUGH few details are available

an

of the nerest of Mr Angas Ward, United States Censul-tieneral in Mukden. the incident seems likely to rench serious proportions. The Communist version of The arrest--the only one so far available- alleges that after a dispute over the severance pay due to a dismissed Chinese employee, Mr Ward and the three members of his staff arrested with him attacked the Chinese and knocked him unconsciens. This version seems, to Nay the least of it, highly improbable. Mr Ward, experienced ofleer of the foreign service, well acquainted with the conditions under which members of foreign diplomatic staffs in Communist China now live, and with the probable consequences of such an action, would hardly risk arrest for assault. The circumstances, of this incident lead naturally to a comparison with an earlier Incident in Shanghai-the arrest and beating of Mr William Olive, also an American Consular official. The charges are se similar that it seems certain that both arrests were engineered for political and propagandist purposes. There is even the suspleion that Mr Ward's arrest might be a reprisal for the recent gaol sentences imposed on eleven öf America's leading Communists. There

This campaign is probably welcomed, if not even encouraged, by the Rusalans, who have everything to gain
