Constitution Author Dr. Wu was formerly the Min-hter'of Min-hter'of National Land Odminis-Ser Odminis-Ser of National Land Admim-ition Admim-ition until 1949. He to toe au-tor au-tor of "Land Law of the Re- public of China" and joint au-' au-' thor of the Constitution of China which was promulgated in 1947. 1 He is the political associate of Mao-Tse-Tung, Li Tsung Jen, Chou En-Lai and Chiang Kai-Shek Kai-Shek for almost 40 years. He charged that Chiang Kai-Shek Kai-Shek used all kinds of treachery , to come to power. "He came from the Shanghai underworld. He is the Chinese Al Capone," he said. Dr. Wu wrote a column for the Chinese World in San Francisco and was "asked to leave." It was rumored that Chiang Kai-Shek Kai-Shek spent $30,000 to have him removed from his position as a columnist. Sun Yar-sen Dr. Wu is a man of history. He met Sun Yat-sen, the father of the Chinese Revolution, in 1910 at a meeting in Vancouver, Canada. At the time Dr. Sun was trying to raise money to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty. "He inspired me," said Dr. Wu, "and I joined his party, the Tung Meng Hui Party." Dr. Wu said Sun Yat-sen told the group of Chinese there he did not want nor ask them to go back to China to fight. "Dr. Sun only wanted money. He told us the people of China would fight for us. I will die for you, he said." The Chinese made him a leader lead-er because he was sincere. "He never told a lie, and he played a lone game," Dr. Wu said. Sun Yat-sen never had any real military force in his country. coun-try. The intellectuals were the only people who really backed him. "And when the United States and Great Britain played only lip servico to his government, govern-ment, and Lenin offered help, what could he do but take it?" Wu asked. Exchanged Communiques Even though China accepted help from the Soviet government and Sun Yat-sen believed communism com-munism in theory is irrefutable, Dr. Wu said, China and Russia exchanged communiques in 1922 under the joint signature of Sun Yat-sen and Lenin's emissary Mr. Joffe, to the effect that "Russia is not to start any communist com-munist propaganda in China . . . Communism is not suitable for China." In 1949, after Mao-Tse-Tung took control of the government, Chou En-Lai asked Dr. Wu if he would "go up to Peking" which meant assume a position in Mao's government. Means Doctrine "I told Chou," Dr. Wu said, "that I had studied communism long before he did, and that I was a member of the Kuomin- tang, the nationalist party of China. I do not go along with the ends justifying the means doctrine," he said. ' Dr. Wu said one has to be ready to kill even his father or mother for the cause. "Communism "Commu-nism is supreme," he said, "you have to sacrifice everything for the cause." Dr. Wu said, "however, Mao-Tse-Tung has my support for what they have done in China. It is almost the first time in Chinese history that government authority is effective throughout through-out the country and reaches all 700 million people." International Faction He said Mao was never a puppet pup-pet for Stalin. In fact, Dr. Wu said Mao has had to liquidate some of his intimate friends who belonged to "the international faction." This is made of people who have been educated in Moscow Mos-cow and have closer ties with Russia than with China. Dr. Wu said the international faction is part of the reason for the rise of the Red Guards, the students carrying out the cultural cul-tural revolution which seeks to repress the Old China and cap italistic. "Mao has to prove he is still popular with the people," said Dr. Wu. He said it was only "wishful thinking cn certain American's part" that there is a real split between the Russian and Chinese Chi-nese elements of the communist party. Destroy Capitalism "They have one ultimate aim, said Dr. Wu, "the destruction of capitalism. China uses the split as an ideological weapon." The "weapon" is such that Russia is progressing one or two steps ahead of China, and the Chinese use this progress as a tactic to unite her own people. Dr. Wu said when Mao came into power in 1949 he promised the Chinese people a bowl of rice for everyone within a year. "It has now been 17 years, and while the Chinese are not starving starv-ing they only have a half a bowl of rice," he said. "The Chinese revolutions were due to the urge of hunger. Hunger Hun-ger is a more powerful force than the nuclear force," he said. Political Encirclement He said China's supposed aggression ag-gression is a reaction against the political and economic encirclement en-circlement by the Western powers. pow-ers. "The white man's prestige in the Far East is gone. We are equal. But when the United States assumed the leadership of the western world unprepared, they perpetuated the idea of the white man's superiority," he said. "If the United States wants to get out of the entanglement, they have only to get an outstanding out-standing leadership someone like Abraham Lincoln and say to the Chinese people, 'We feel very sorry, we have done wrong in the past and ask for forgiveness.' for-giveness.' " he said. The Chinese feel they have a justified grievance against Western West-ern powers due to the exploitation exploita-tion of China. Dr. Wu said the American people peo-ple have to realize they can not go against 700 million people. "You either have to kill them all or try and understand them," he said. China salvation said Dr. Wu, "lies in peaceful cooperation between be-tween the Chinese people and the American people. Nothing else counts." |
