among the world’s happiest
races. Despite poverty that must
be seen to be believed. Professor
Toynbee has written that in the
centuries to come the brief his-
tory of the Western Work! may
well form a subject of inquiry
for the historians of China.
Here live a quarter of the hu-
man race. Many times Invaded,
but always in the end absorbing
the Invader.
I hope there will be no war,
because I know too well the
sight and sound and stench of
war. Twice in my lifetime I’ve
seen enemy bombs fall. I’ve
heard the terrifying scream of
the air-raid sirens on a black
night. No one who saw the flam-
ing wreckage of Pearl Harbor
or the crumpled destruction of
the great Oriental cities could

a rose-red horizon. Where peo-
nies and zinnias grow larger
than any I’ve ever seen. A vil-
lage surrounded by small farms
of unbelievably perfectly ter-
raced hillsides and every inch
of soil is used. A village like
thousands of others In those
pre-war days in China.
I think about Chan, our cook-
boy, who earned the magnificent
salary of eight American dollars
a month. Chan, who couldn’t

flinching loyalty and devotion
during those first weeks in the
summer of 1937, when Japanese
was
an inspiration. When our Amer-
ican destroyers left for the war
zones, and we were stranded in
that faraway village. Somehow,
Chan always made out. His
shopping expeditions into the
native markets always produced
ample groceries. His fear for
my safety when the strange
soldiers, pushing their ancient
cannon, marched past my door-
way.
I think about Chou, too, our
laughing, happy ricksha boy.
Chou, too, earned eight Ameri-
can dollars a month. But he
“belonged.” He owned his own
ricksha, and he had a private i'
job—the ambition of every rick- -

Sophie Steves for the donation to write for a long, long time,
of a wheelbarrow for the ceme- it is a column about a land that
I once knew and loved, on the
other side of the world. A land
that has leaped into the head-
lines. A land where hope will
rise again in the breasts of hun-
dreds of millions of “little” peo-
ple, as they till their little plots
of ground with their homemade
implements, pull their richshas,
guide their sampans through the
thick and muddy waters of the
Yangtze and Whangpoo Rivers.
I don’t know exactly how these
little people of China will know
about our President’s message
to Congress, but they will know _______
—thatxthis great land of ours, bombs fell on Shanghai,
in which for so many years
they pinned their hope and
faith, is at long last extending
to them the hand of freedom—
liberation from their tyrannical
masters.
The ineffable “grapevine” of
China, more effective than mod-
ern radio and newspapers, will
carry President Elsenhower’s
words to them, and no commu-
nist police force can halt it. The
ricksha boy will tell the Chinese
river families; the river families
will tell the news on wharves
and docks upstream. The mer-
chant and peddler will tell the
peasant fanners.
Of Chinese Communism, of
intrigue and political manuever-
ing I know Httle beyond what I
can read or hear over the radio.
This column is to teU you a-
bout the people I knew and loved
when I lived in China—not in
the great modem coastal cities
of Shanghai and Hong Kong,
but of Shantung Province and
the peaceful little viUage of
Chefoo where we lived and kept
house. Where the waters of the
Gulf of Chihili are bluer than
the skies above. Where sampans
and junks set sail every mom-

sha boy. He appeared at 5 AM
every morning, to take my hus-
band to the docks. Then until
four in the afternoon he was at
my beck and caU, but at four, >
it was time to “catch master”
(my husband). Nothing could 1
ever delay him. If need be, he
would sit in the rain for hours,
if the destroyers were late com-
ing into the harbor. But wet, I
cold, hungry perhaps, Chou was
always there, grinning a wel-
come.
There are many, many others
I would Hke to write about. Ah
Ching, the Missey Amah. Mr.
Lieu, my cultured and educated
Chinese teacher. Ah Fung, the
plump and kindly shop-keeper,
who in the fashion of our own
country stores, always gave me
a gift when I paid my monthly
accounts. |
I think, too, of a great Gen-
eral, whose courage and devo-
tion to .his country have few
parallels in modem history. Of
GeneralUssimo Chiang KaiChek,
who for more than twenty years
has fought off one aggressor
after another, pinning his hopes I
on broken promises and the
slendor, fragile threads of A-
merican aid and friendship. A- j
mericans might well ponder on
what the outcome of World War
II in the Pacific might have been
had General Chiang capitulated
to the enemy and invader. The
end might have been different—
certainly the 1945 peace would
have been much longer In com-
ing had he surrendered the vast
land of China and all its latent
resources to the Japanese. And
his brilliant, American educated i
wife, a member of the cultured, |
wealthy Soong family. She who i
dared the wrath of her family
and associates to marry a you
soldier.
It was no honor in long ago
China to be a soldier, for more
than any nation on earth ex-
cept America perhaps, the Chi- I
nese are peace-loving people. ,
To earn his daily bread, to pro-
vide for his family, to begat
sons to care for him in his old
age and give him proper burial
when he dies—these are the am-
bitions of the Chinese. To be a
scholar is the greatest distinc-
tion of all—for more praise-
worthy than to be a great sol-
dier. .
Members of the oldest civili-
zation in the world by far, the
Chinese for centuries have been

This story has been written—
pot of the Russian-trained hy-
sterical fanatics who killed and
tortured American soldiers in
Korea. This has been about the
millions of Chinese people who
remember and revere America;
whose religion, Confucianism—
founded by Confucius so many,
many centuries before our own
era of Christianity—gave us
the Golden Rule: Do onto oth-
ers as you would have them do
onto you.
