It s "'Go ing home for Christmas," The haunting old refrain; Home where a thousand memories Refresh the heart again. It's "Going home for Christmas" O angel choirs that sing! Hear this, my earthly carol, For Christmas homecoming! (Reprinted from the Christmas Blue Bell ai 1927)1 It Ail Happened Before The Peking People's Daiiy bas predicted that 'within six years ail China's 600 million people will be working for the State." This is ta be accomplisbed by transforming the present 750,- 000 agricultural co-operatives inta communes. The merger wil bring ail agriculture and indus- try Lurîder Cammunist Party contrai. The 600 million civil servants wiil have mess-halls, nurseries and tailoring centres, thus releasing women fromn domestie cares ta work on the land and in the numerous small industries. Some communes are said ta, be aiready supplying free food, clatbing, bousing, educatian, theatres and cinema seats, and even free hair-cuts. This last item alone should appeal ta Chinamen if the bar- bers in that country have, like some af ours, boosted the price ta $1.25 a eut. It is interesting ta recaîl that under a remote Chinese dynasty the barbers were put out ai business by the introduction af the pig-tail. The purpose of that hirsute appe'n- dage was said ta be ta enable the police ta arrest two rebel s et one grab and lead them off tied tagether ta decapitation. But now they are ta be cropped beforehand. and we may bè sure that the free cuts wili not include Presley hair-dos. This is not t he first time that China has changed its form af gavernment. Foliowing the "ýclassical age" ai Confucius the country was politicaliy in a state af chaos, which was ended by the Chin vietary. This dynasty (256-207 B.C.) abolished feu- dalism and united China. But the empire lapsed in feudal war- fare until the caming af the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-214 A. D.). Centralization af govern- ment was enfarced, and civil service examinatians developed. The boundaries ai the empire were enlarged by gaining con- strol oi Southern Manchuriza, sInner Mongolia, and Narthern Korea. This Han dynasty, which was one af the greatest in Chin- ese bistory, created an exten- sive civil service; butý it grew weak and corrupt and was fol- lawed by four centuries af civil war, foreign invasion and dis. union. 1 Since that time China bas undergone many political and Icultural changes, inciuding the i prosperaus reign af Kubiai Khan, and each af them was 1follawed by the inevitable civil war and chaos. The present re- gime is a modern, mechanical version ai the others. Its abject is ta level up and down ail classes and factions by the crea-. tion af a universal civil service. That might have same chance ai success in a smaller country; but in a vast territory witb 600 million varying buman types and temperaments, the castiron rigidity af cammunism will in- evitably lead ta yet another ci - vil war and chaos.j The communist system bas been likened ta that of an anlt- h iii, and there us some similar- ityV between them. But, unlike the ant, men are wilful and un- amenable ta rigid social disci- pli,ýe, except in time o! war or national crisis. That is why Sta- lin and bis successors bave kept the Russian people in a virtual state ai war and have created Periodic crises in the Middle East. Communist China is foi- lowing suit. The occupation oi Quemoy by the "enemy" is a valuabie asset in keeping the people of Red China in a state ai regimentation. The Kremlin and Peking are alternateiy play- ing this hit-and-run game ta keep the western warld in a state ai fear and their own peo- pie in sublection. Il bas al bap- pened before many times in China. The Ma Dynasty is just a repetition. I WHAT OTHERS SAYJý WRONG BIRDIE Brockviiie Recorder and Times.
