14 Winnipeg free press Friday december 16, 1966 Star. Hour . To . saturday. 1-2112 a Diparo mint. Out of town shop for Obi pfc 5-Iooi toll Lin s bid fails by Robert elegant Hong Kong special tons a just published secret speech delivered in August to the Central com Mittee of the chinese communist party by defence minister Piao was a Blunt announcement that he was seizing Power As Mas Ter of China an action he has been Able to Complete. The informed deductions of outside specialists that or. Ian had sought to take full command of the daily administration of China is confirmed by lengthy excerpts from the speech. Those excerpts embodied in a red guard leaflet just brought from peking reveal that or. Lin ordered sweeping purge of the communist party at the same time. Or. Lin told the cowed Central committee that he was ordering a general examination a Genera 1 alignment and a general reorganization of the official Structure of the party. He asserted that he spoke with the agreement of party chairman Mao tse Tung who appears to have remained silent in the closed session As he has in Public. Or. Ion Laid Down a set of conditions so broadly and loosely defined that he could catch anyone he Winfied in their strictures. All those who did not me e t his conditions he said Are to be dismissed from their he on the pres ent occasion we Are going to dismiss a number of people promote a number of people and there will be a general reorganize the tone of command implicit in or. Lin s state ment that he had been Given the is emphasized by his explanation that he did not interfere with chairman Mao on major matters nor trouble him with minor despite its mock humility the first part of the state ment is probably As True As the second. The major matters with which chair Man Mao is concerned Are sweeping abstractions like the nature of society the essence of human nature and the nature of humanity. The minor matters Are the Day to Day tactical con duct the affairs of the chinese nation. It now appears Clear that Lin Piao frightened a sub Stantial portion of the communist High command into opposition by his virtually absolute assertion of author Ity and by his sweeping proscriptions. It May Well be that he has failed to carry out his plan because he was too assertive in that speech. A companion speech addressed to the Central com Mittee s group for conduct ing the great proletarian cultural revolution demonstrated that his purge had gone awry before August. Or. Lin claimed the chair Man reversed the situation. But for this reversal the cultural revolution would have failed mid Way the bourgeoisie have gained the upper hand and we would have lost the it appears from a com Parison of this new evidence with earlier information that or. Lin began the purge on his own perhaps during chairman Mao s ill Ness. The party chairman then appears to have Given his implicit support to or. Lin though he is hardly a Well Man even now. The second address also casts new Light on the present stage of the struggle. Or. Lin is reported to have stressed As did earlier official Public statements that economic would automatically follow the refolding of the thought of the party and the people of China. When we win of the cultural fro he shall also win on the material the present official position is different from or. Lin s exclusive emphasis upon spiritual purity compounded by his rejection of using material incentives As the revisionist countries the instructions to cultural revolutionists today Are do not interfere with this near reversal demonstrates that Lin Piao has at least temporarily met defeat and has not been Able to carry his extremist policies into action.
