Phone or 5-5360 provincial newspapers con trolled by the maoists would warn bitterly that factional jealousy and even armed strife within their own Camp is rising danger a letter just inc lived from a housewife in Chengdu in Chwan prov Ince in the Southwest prob ably gives a clearer idea of what is really going on in China although it deliberately avoids any discussion of politics. The lady wrote about fish and shrimps and pork rather than red guards 01 the sacrosanct thought of Mao tse Tung but her account of her shopping Laid Bare a fundamental social and economic pattern Preva Lent throughout China the housewife whom we shall Call mrs we asked her Cousin in Hong Kong not to worry because parcels of food and clothing mailed from the British Crown Colony had consistently failed to arrive in Chengdu. There Wasj said no need to Send any More parcels wrote in the past 18 years in other words since the communists took China have we eaten As Well As we have in the past few weeks. All sorts of delicacies have appeared that we Haven t seen in Many Many years. There is shrimp pork and fresh fish even frogs legs and eel.

Wus letter revealed a Situa Tion which was not merely ideological anathema but highly dangerous to the maoists. T it is not remarkable that. Parcels do not make it All the Way from Hong Kong to Chengdu lines of communication have been severed by disorder like an eel under a Cleaver. It is the peasants of China have dared to set. Up their own markets to peddle their own produce for their own profit. It is even More remarkable that they can operate those markets openly without interference.

Farmers tilling their own plots and Selling their own police Force disbanded produce flagrantly violate that Ciple besides the institutional basis of the. Maoist system is the Agri cultural people s commune in which no Man is permit Ted to own his land or sell his own produce for his own profit. The fact that banners Are doing so and not Only in Chwan is the clearest demonstration that the maoists cannot impose their. life on China. It also indicates obliquely that their enemies the pragmatists within he communist party still control things m a Large part of China. Those pragmatists have encouraged peasants to improve their own conditions by. Labor on the theory that such a policy is Good for the peasants and is also Good for the pragmatists since it will win them the peasants support. Since the peking people s daily the Organ of the maoists found it necessary Days turn aside from its preoccupation with internal strife to Iveigh against free markets like the ones mrs.
