THE STATE DEPARTMENT issued a "white paper" on China Friday. In it was the official proclamation of a fact that we have known since last year-that a dem- ocratic China in the sense that we mean the word democratic must be given up for lost for the near future. The statement, with its condemnation of the Chinese Nationalist regime as a "total failure," looks to many like a bad case of "hitting a man when he's.down." Certainly a great.deal of the blame for the failure of China's government can be laid on Chiang Kai-Shek's shoulders and on the shoulders of the slow-moving, oftentimes corrupt Kuo- mingtang party. Certainly the Nationalists have lost the support of the people, especially of the peasants who make up the backbone of China. YES, MUCH of the blame can be put on the government that has failed to give the people what they want. But has the United States any right to condemn the Nationalists without taking some of the blame itself? Is not the failure of China in some measure the failure of the United States? We emerged from Worid War in a very advantageous position in China. In our hand was the power to make the Na- tionalists reform their party, reform their ideals, reform the system of land distri- bution. We had the opportunity and somehow we muffed it and the chance for a democratic non-Communist China was lost, perhaps for good. WHAT CAN WE DO about it? Mr. Ache- son doesn't seem to tell us that quite clearly in his "white paper." But certain things we can do. First and foremost we must realize that Chiang's government could never have been called democratic, not when a tight oligarchy ruled under a one-party system. So the battle for eventual democracy for China was not lost with the downfall of Nationalists. Nor,;can we expect that Mao Tse-tung's Communist government will be "democratic." But again we must not con- clude that eventual democracy is impos- sible for China. What China needed in the past and needs now and in the near future is a strong hand to guide her. She now has a strong hand and although it is not the democratic hand we had hoped for, we must accept it, estab- lish contacts with it, and endeavor to make it as little anti-American and as much anti- Russia as is possible. * * * * * CHINA IS BADLY IN NEED of money if she hopes to become a powerful country. That money is available only from the United States. We have failed diplomatically in the past to keep the Communists out of Chi- nese government. Our main hope for the future seems to lie in using the possibility of a loan to Communst Chna or at least some form of technical aid to that country as a bait to develop the present Chinese leaders into the same kind of leader that rules Yugoslavia-a ruler that, although Communistic, insists on Yugoslavia before Russa. If we can develop Mao Tse-tung into a "China first, Communism second" leader, we will at least have succeeded in some measure in further "containing" the Russian might. CHIANG'S DOWNFALL makes certain the impossibility of a democratic China in the next generation, but it does not necessarily mean another satellite for the Soviet dic- tatorship. If we play our cards right this time as we failed to do in the past, we may eventually see a strong United China friendly to the United States. -Phyllis Cohen Loan Library DREW PEARSON: Washington Merry-Go-Round WASHINGTON-The Democrats seem to have forgotten how they used to berate the lobby-ridden, Republican 80th Congress and what they promised they would do to lobbyists once they came into power. In contrast, the 81st Congress is now swarming Vith more lobbyists than ever, and the much ballyhooed bill to investigate lobbyists is still stuck in the Judiciary Com- mittee. * * * * HOLDING UP the lobby investigation are two Senators who publicly claim to be for it. One is Senator Alexander Wiley, Wisconsin Republican, who officially voted for the lobby probe, but unofficially did his best to block it. "If this goes through," Wiley once blurted out, "we might have to investigate my son." He referred to Marshall A. Wiley, of Chippewa Falls, Wis., who journeys to Washington to work for the dairy interests. Not considering himself a lobbyist, young Wiley has never bothered to register, but because of his father, gets extra entree. But the man really blocking the lobby probe is Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada, faithful friend of the lobbyists, who has resorted to the subtle strategy of insisting that his judiciary committee do the inves- tigating. This will give him veto power over who should be investigated and what should be done about them. AND SINCE the House has already passed a bill providing for a joint Congressional committee to investigate lobbyists, McCar- ran's obstinacy may mean no lobby investi- gation at all. Arizona's Senator Carl Hay- den of the rules committee is trying to talk McCarren into going along with the House version but that would take the investiga- tion out of McCarran's hands where he could not protect his lobbyist-friends. As a result of this stalemate, the lobby- ists are multiplying like flies. More than 350 new lobbyists have been added to the registration rolls since the Democrats came into power. That isn't conting all those who still haven't come out into the open, but pull strings and influence votes without registering as lobbyists. Of 1,600 who have registered, fewer than 150 have dropped out. * * * * RELIGIOUS BATTLE OVER EDUCATION The House Labor Committee's closed-door showdown on the religion-laden federal aid -to-education bill produced the expected fireworks-and then some. Committee members shouted, ranted, fum- ed, glared nd even threatened each other as Chairm;11 John Lesinski of Michigan, a Catholic representing Detroit's Polish sub- urbs, used every move in the Congressional book to block the bill. HOWEVER, there was one beneficial re- sult. It now is possible to call the roll of the friends and foes of aid to education-as a result of a motion by Boston's young Rep- resentative John Kennedy to postpone all school legislation until next January. Ken- nedy's motion was voted down, but here's how the committee lined up behind closed doors: Against killing all school-aid legislation during this session: (13)-Representatives Sims of South Car- olina, Perkins of Kentucky, Bailey of West Virginia, Irving of Missouri, Jacobs of In- diana, Steed of Oklahoma, Barden of North Carolina, Powell of New York, Wyer of Min- nesota, Wood of Georgia, Howell of New Jer- sey, all Democrats and Morton of Kentucky and Kearns of Pennsylvania, Republicans. For killing all aid to education (12)- Representatives Lesinski, Kennedy, Kelley, of Pennsylvania, Lucas of Texas, Demo- crats; and Burke of Ohio, McConnell of Pennsylvania, Gwinn of New York, Smith of Kansas, Nixon of California, Werdel of Cal- ifornia, Brehm of Ohio and Velde of Illinois. * * * * LESINSKI FILIBUSTERS Lesinski at first tried to filibuster the meeting by refusing to call it to order. Though 22 members of the 25-man com- mittee were present-nine more than quor- um-the Michigander strangely insisted that all 25 members be present. He was thus able to stall 35 minutes before the full member- ship showed up. AS EACH SEMESTER or summer session ends, students find themselves owning a shelf full of books for which they no longer have any immediate need. What to do with these books presents quite a problem, especially to those of us who do not like a lot of last minute labor when it is time to go home. * * * IF YOU FEEL like haggling with a local bookseller, you can always try to re-sell your books when you have finished with them. Of course, you can be sure of getting only a fraction of what you paid for them. If you are a veteran whose books have been purchased by the taxpayers, you are likely to feel a twinge from your conscience when you pocket the pittance you receive from such sales. If you feel more ambitious, you can always wrap the books up carefully and send them home. When they get home, they will prob- ably languish in some forgotten part of the library for a good many years. * * * IF YOU ARE completely lazy, you will try to find some extra space in your own World Powers No. 1 And 2 room, and leave the books there, hoping that you might find a use for them next semes- ter. There is, however,o ne good way to get rid of your old textbooks without ex- cessive exertion. You can take them to the University's Textbook Loan Iibrary. The Textbook Loan Library provides books of all sorts for those students whose finan- cial resources are limited. Since the library has no income, it can't afford to spend much for books to supply its patrons. It depends largely upon the contributions of generous and thoughtful students. * * * THERE COULD hardly be a more worth- while way to unburden yourself of those books you no longer need than to give them to this library. By doing so, you will cer- tqinlyw gain the gratitude of a great number of students less fortunate than yourself. -Paul Brentlinger. GOOD SENSE, travels on the well-worn paths; genius, never.

I would venture to say that there are very few people who are gifted with such a mind in the world today. I am one of those persons who must do just one thing at a time in order to do it correctly. This is the subject of my letter. At night I am one of the stu- dents who uses the main library to study. In order to finish my work by the time the library closes I must begin promptly at 7 p.m. However, at 7 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Percival Price begins permeating the cam- pus with his bells. I enjoy.listen- ing to his music when I have nothing else to do. However, dur- ing the short eight week summer session there is rarely a time when I have no homework. There- fore, I find it extremely difficult to get my homework done and listen to the bells at the same time. Unfortunately Polish Folk Songs and Peterson's Econonics just don't mix. I have spoken to other students who use the library at night and they feel as I do that there should be quiet on cam- pus from 7 through 10 p.m. I propose what I think is an equitable solution. Mr. Price could begin his recitals at 6 p.m. instead of 7 and in that way we would all get the benefit of his fine talents, but not at the expense of our aca- demic subjects. With final exams coming next week, I think this request is especially important. -Harris Kohn Invitation to the Dance by Weber.

NIGHT EDITOR: JOHN NEUFELD i * * * * PENNSYLVANIA'S McConnell, the rank- ing committee Republican, raised no objec- tions. In fact, he seemed well satisfied with Lesinski's filibustering and whispered pri- vately to colleagues that he favored post- poning action on the school bill because it was "too hot to handle." However, others protested vigorously, including Indiana's Jacobs, a Catholic, who believes in the school-aid program. And when Lesinski tried to resume his filibuster even after the meeting began, Jacobs raised a point of order against him. Lesinski overruled. this, but ran into a fresh attack from South Carolina's Sims, a paratroop hero in the last war. "Your actions are outrageous," charged Sims.
