Mr. Tsatskin and Port Darien officials on a soy bean drying rack.
This Chinese port passed into Japanese hands during World War
II. It‘s now under Communist control.
munists issued an order “under
threat of death everything made
of gold must be turned in.” For
fifteen months people queued in
front of the banks, some stood in
line for two and three days and
nights to turn in all valuables or
coins of gold. All of this gold, in
exchange for which the people
were give basketsfuls of worthless
paper money, was sent directly
from the banks to Russia in ex
change for arms.
When the Nationalist Chinese
withdrew they abandoned ware
houses filled with American goods.
Everything of value with the ex
ception of rice was sent to Russia
under direct supervision of Rus
sian personnel sent to China ex
pressly for that purpose. This op
eration took about fifteen months
and the goods were valued at about
two hundred million dollars. “I
saw this happen and I learned the
value through underground con
tacts of the Nationalists.”
“According to statistics of the
underground, fifteen million Chin
ese have been killed at the hands
of the Communists. The populace
has an awareness of all that trans
pired. The underground keeps
them informed. They are an alert,
sensitive people.”
Concentration camps stretch
from Shanghai to Manchuria where
seventeen million men work at en
slaved labor in the mines and at
other backbreaking labor under
the most inhuman conditions.
There are Russian advisors in
every branch of the Red Chinese
activities. No Chinese institution is
without them, no matter how
small. These advisors live in lux
ury and receive between $1,000
and $1,500 a month, while the
Chinese people die of starvation.
"The rich people they kill with
out provocation! The intelligensia
of the land, some 500,000 men,
brutally wrung from their homes,
were taken from the large cities
to work on the farms. There are
no machines. These men from the
universities, the scholars of the
land, are harnessed to the plow
and forced to become virtual hors
es and mules.
The prisons were emptied of all
anti-government elements and over
a million Chinese were sent to
Russia as enslaved labor as the
Chinese are considered more effi
cient, productive workers.
Mr. Tsatskin continued pouring
forth his recitation of atrocities.
“The people in the rural areas
are in a semi-famine state, yet the
government exports food. The Rus
sians take everything out of China,
peanuts, soyabeans, hides, silk, bro
cades, and nothing comes back but
armaments. There is nothing to be
bought, not even a can of sardines.
Russia floods the world markets
with this merchandise at a re
duced rate to obtain foreign cur
rency and disrupt world economy
and thus more easily bring under
developed countries under the
Soviet orbit.”
“I was sent by Walter and Son
into the interior and traveled from
Shanghai to Mukden. There were
deaths from starvation throughout
the area. Yet I traded 442 cases of
French cigarette paper to the Com
munists in exchange for 1,000 tons
of soybeans. From a land of
starving people Walter Co. ex
ported soybeans to Japan.”
“While on this trip I passed by
the American consulate. I eye-
witnessed the Communists destroy
ing the building and sacking its
furnishings. Several days later, ac
cording to the populace, three of
the former consulate servants were
shot, their only offense, having
worked for the Americans.”
“The Chinese are not even per
mitted the dignity and solace of
traditional burials. It was the cus
tom to bury the dead in shrouds
of white. The Communists dyed
the material blue. It is the only
fabric available to the populace
and has become in fact a uniform.”
“Red China has built under
ground in Mongolia much of its
vital munition factories and atomic
plans,” said Mr. Tsatskin according
to reports that reached him via
workers who escaped enforced
labor in these arsenals. These are
kept secret even from the Russians
and the exact locations are a
guarded secret.
“This government which held
out such promise to the Chinese
people, betrays them at every turn.
The Soviet government and Red
China are one entity. If a differ
ence exists, it is created for public
