French Plan Showdown Over Asia
At Big Three Gathering
Paris, May 2. -The French Government is preparing for a very frank showdown with the United States and British Governments over Indo- China at the conference of the three Foreign
Ministers in London next week.
It was learned from the highest sources today that M. Robert Schuman intends to put the point] very bluntly. Either the United States decides to give France substantial and prompt aid in defend-| ing Indo-China against Communist aggression or else France may have to envisage putting an end to her efforts to hold the Western strategic line in!

It is too early to know whether they are right. But a few days ago an Informative statement was made by Lu Ting-yi, the direclor of the Information Department of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist party. He began by quoting Mao Tse-tung's maxim, "We must strive to transform China, which has been made backward and ignorant under the domination of the old culture, into an enlightened and advanced nation under the domination of a new culture." The Communist party, according to u Ting-yi, has two objects in education. One shift, cultural and educational is "to work, hitherto in the hands of a small number of people, on to the basis of the broad Inbouring masses" The second is "to make culture and education effectively serve the restoration and development of the country's production." It looks ns if the Chinese Government will be even more interested in the second objective than in the first, and it seems also that it has the Soviet propaganda that Hwallowed Russia is the only State which has based Itself on science. "A yearning for the highly developed selence and culture of Soviet Russia has animated the Chinese youth," says Lu Ting-yi. He paints China to be run a picture of a by scientists, which might have satisfled even that great scientific visionary--and great Philistine-Francis Bacon.
