used in the Walter Hines Page school of International Relations under tho
direction of OUEN LATTIIORE to carry out studies of Inner Asian Frontiers.

that he has no objection to having people soc him under compromising
circumstances, and have them misinterpret it; that LATTIICRE is the type
who would have no hositancy in openly contacting a known Communist or a

that around 1941 LATTIIORE was appointed personal political side to CHIANG
KAI-SEEK; that LATTIFORE was not in favor of nny United btotes aid to the
Chinese Entionalist Government; that LATTI;OE is of the firm opinion that
the/Nhtionalist Government in China is corrupt, inefficient, and "rotten to
the core." The inforvnnt believes, therefore, that LATTI"0RE's stand alongthis lino is one of the reasons he has been branded a Communist. I371!
The informant added that following the return from China of General
MARSHALL, he submitted o report in which ;£RSHnLL's views relative to China
coincided with those of LATTIZDRE; that their views were so much alike that
the IARSHALL report could well have been written by LATTIIORE, although the
two men do not know each other. In any evont, according to the informant,

On May 9, 19b9, LiTTIMOVE participated in a debate with Senator HOMER
FE&GU50N on "The American Forum of the Air," radio program broadcast from
Washington, D. C. The debate entitled "What Is The United 5tntos1 Responsi-
bility in China?" was subsequently published in pamphlet form. LATTIVOEE,
in answer to a question es to whet the consequences would be if the Communists
take over all of China, said "e now have e situation in China which cannot
b; brought under control by further military aid. There er: no forccs in
China capable of using that aid, and thzrz is no popular movement in China
which would support such an American program. We, tecrefore, have to try
to minimize the further spread of Communism in Asia and do so by methods that
will not upset our policy in Yuropc and will not disturb our world policy.....
The key to the situation in Chine is not that the Communists have won but
that the National Government has collapsed of its own corruption and its own

'LirTImoRE said, "1 agree with you that it is to the American interest to
stabilize the situation, to minimize the spread of Communism anywhere and
cverywhere. I think the present question is one as to what methods work
in what area. The Harshnll Plan method has worked very well in stabilizing
Europe and restoring morals. Everything that we have spent in Chins his
been misspont and mismanaged. There is no use trging to give more money to
the some people to waste in the same way."
In the July 5, 19b1, issue of the "Baltimore Norning Sun," thorc
is an article concerning LQTTIMO?3's appointment as personal political
adviser to CHIANG KAI-SHEK. In part,this article reeds as follows:
"On the zve of his departure on Q mission to which observers

"In the midst of all the speculation oceasianed by92thc intornatipnal
situation, there are two things you can bank on according to LLTTIHORE!
I that the British won't give up in the West, and that the Chinese
won't break in the East."' Q
"Last night, LATTIHDRE described himself as one of the very few
people who said nearly four years ago that the first few months of
the Japanese invasion showed that Chine would be able to put up a
long resistance with very real prospects of eventual victory."
"Long regarded as an expert's exp:rt' on Far Eastern affairs, Hr.
LnTTIHORE's duties in Chungking will be those of an adviser to the
Chinese Genoralissino. Observers have attached considerable significancv
to the fact that although he will be in the employ of CHILNG Knl-SHEK,
hc'was nominated for the post by President ROOSEVELT."
In this newspaper article, LLTTIHORE is quoted as having said that:
"CHILHG KAI-SEEK is one of the men of modern tines who has grown
in importance until he nust be rated today as among the great
statesmen of the world."
LATTIMORE, in the article further said:
"I think he CHIANG KAI-SEEK! is very conspicuously the symbol
of the whole Chinese na tion."
LATTIMORE was asked by the press to comment on the reported clashes
between the Chinese Government troops and Communist forces, and in
reply said:
"While such sensational news has naturally attracted wide attention
in America, it has rather unfairly obscured the fact that Chinese
unity has not broken down in civil war."
In the "Baltimore American newspaper dated July 20, 1941, is a U.P.
dispatch bearing a Chungking, China dateline of July 19, 1941- This article
stated that LLTTIEORE had arrived in Chungking to become special adviser tolGenera issime CHILNG KAI-SHEK; also that LATTIUORE brought with him a petitionsigno by 358 exiled Hanchurians appealing for the liberation of Harshal,CHANG-HSUEjILNG, fenner Hanehurian and North China Her Lord, who has been a prisoner
since his forces kidnaped Generalissimo CEILNG in 1936.

"Very few Japanese Communists survived the war, and in view of
the strict indoctrination and discipline which Communist parties
always require, it will be difficult for the Japanese Communists
to expand rapidly into a large party. But the policies which
the Japanese Connunists advocate are in favor of private enterprise
withiut trusts and monopolies! and in favor of small business and
independent farmers who own their own land."
"Japan has long needed such reforms and the demand for such reforms
will attract the support of largo numbers of people who are not

small party, may be able to pull quite a large vote." if
"Japanese Communist tactics are remihiscent of the Chinese
Communists who, as RLNDLLL GOULD points out in his excellent

has never done much about."
"In fact, we may be entering a period in which, for most of the
world, the Russian Communists will represent power and toughness,
while the Chinese and Japanese Communists will represent reasonable
ness and moderation."

This country's first research seminar on Inner and Outer Mongolia
is new being conducted at the Johns Hopkins Universitys Walter Hines

Half a dozen experts, including three men beliovcd to be the only£23 well~cducnted.Mongolians in the United.Stntos, are investigating
L problems of language, culture, politics and history under the gui»
dance of Owen Lattimore, director of the school,
_ "Describing the project today, the Ebpkins announced that two Inner% Mengoliens ,'Ui'g1mggq-'~0non and-G-ombojz1"tyF.-'a.ngin, had been here sincelast Novcmher, after coming by plane from Nanking, The news pi
withheld pending the safe arrival of each man's wife and child, which
was accomplished last week,
The third member, n native of Outer Mongolia, is the living Buddha,
ilown Rhtukhtu, who reached Baltimore lest week,
"Doscr1bed.by Professor Lcttinore as o long-term undertaking likelyto last several years, the seminar also includes Miss Huth.E¢4§ean,

uses have adopted the first names Peter and John,
"Lest in Inner Mongolia in 1945, just after the Japanese overthrow,
,they declined today to comment on current political trends. Outer
/liongolia is g,8ocia1ist People's republic, described by Professor
Lattimoro as Russia's oldest Asiatic satellite, dating beck to
1913, Inner Mongolia, in all but the western deserts, is under the
control of Chinese Comunist forces,
The seminars first task, Professor Lnttimoro said, is to complete.a.phonetic grammar of Mongol, the first English one ever to be compiled-

Project was started with the language pregr-on in conjunction with the Steto

JOHN HLNGIN and l'1[E'I.'33 011013, traveling on Chinese passports, arrived
in the United States at Seattle, Washington, in November, 1948, They were
brought to the United States by LATTIIJOE with the aid of the State IDepart-
nent, Thereafter they prevailed upon IJETII-IOR3 to permit them to send for
their families because they were worried about the Communists coming closer
and closer to Nmcing, China, Each of the 1£on;;ols is married and each has a
wife and one child, Thereafter the families of the two Megols in question
arrived in the United States in March, 1949,
DIZDOWA. HUI'UEHTU Living Buddha!, who also traveled on a Chinese pass-
port, arrived in the United States in I-Iarch, 1949, and for a time resided at
the L.d'iTII92i0R3 residence in Buxton, Maryland, Subsequently he noved to 2-'32?
Butaw Place, Baltimore, and resided with the 01301! family, J 01511 EAHGIII
and his family reside at 606 Reservoir Street, Baltimore,
According to this sane inf ornant, LA'l"III-iO.'~?3 has paid the living

Baltimore,
According to T--11, Mrs, L£»'ITIi-I033 on May 16, 1.949, informed RUTH
~IBI.~;1I that 01101? and JOHN E.AlI}I1¬ should be at attorney Q,Unl921!i"s office at
2:00 P.1Z., that day regarding an extension of their visas. On this occasion,
Mrs. L.Ai"lI1-IDES mentioned that, according; to QIJAITUE, the Immigration and
Naturalization Service authorities feel that the Living Buddha is an undesira-
ble resident as he has .-zade statenents indicating he was not strongly enough
anti-Goritzunist and thus they are suspicious of him, She stated that she had
told QIIANDT that this is ridiculous; that this nan is the Living Buddha and
that the reason he is in the United States is because he did not want to be
in Ha when the Concrunists cane in and that he had left Outer iienggolia
in 1931, because oi the Cormmists.
_ Mrs. LA;ITI1'IOR3 told RUTH BIZAN that "we" have to be awfully careful
that the two I-Iongols ma.-:e their position perfectly clear, that_ is, that they
could not have stayed in HanI~:in;; after the COZl'TU.21iSt-5 cane and that they could
not have left their families there when the Corrr.unists cane in, Thereafter,
-. {according to T-ll, the conversation oi RUTH BEAN with I-irs. LAETII-I033 was sub-
jstantially as fellows:
RUTH IEIAIT: "Well, that is sertethilif; that should have been done in
the press statements, but everyone was being; so cagey
_ and refused to let anytlting; political he said,"
hlrs. LAT'II1'iOPL-3 then stated that the Living 3u<.:~.ha was being crgey
and no one told him what to say; that when the reporters asked him what he
, thought oi the Gemrmnists, the Living Buddha said merely that he is a Llano
and does not go in for politics or something; to that effect, I-Irs. LAT'lII-i0I.E
stated that instead he should have stated definitely that he ran from the
Communists,
RUTI-E 33311: Tho point is that in every one of these meetings we have
had with newspaper people, an obvious attempt has been
made to keep from saying aqrthinp; like that, Frankly, I
would rather have then qualified as anti-Communists pub-
licly and take the danger to the Johns Hopkins Page School
than the other way around,"
Mrs, LAi"1J'.'!-£O1?E: With these two Mongols, I think they night as well knew
that --- and put it as strongly as they like and just tell
the truth, They should say that they could not have stayed.

I think, Senator, that you may be exaggerating the ques
tion of China. in the United Nations and Chinese embassies
in the various countries as compared with China itself as
a central power and organization, The Russians already
have all the obstructive power they need in the United
Nations with the veto they have; a double veto doesn't
and to that, If they cooperate in the United Nations, they
cooperate; if they don't, they don't, As for Chinese em-
bassies, it is u to the individual countries whether they
recognize China or not,"
"**** But letis look at our interests prior to the taking
over of this vest territory by the Communists, *** We
fought the Pacific war, and are we going to say new that
we will surrender all that we fought for? ****"
"Senator, I think we ought to try to get down to tho basic
realities of the situation, You speak of the Communists
taking over Chine, l think that perhaps is too strong e
way of putting it, From the American point of view, whet
can American policy do in the situation? The key to the
situation in China is not that the Communists have won but
that the Nntional government has collapsed of its own cor
ruption and its own inefficiency, That leaves us with
nothing there to support, so we cannot talk of the interests
we would have defendea if there were something there for us
to support, we have to get to the realities of the situzv
tion end how we can deal with it,
Mr. LATTIHCRE, I can't agree with you on that, Uhen I
think of whet happened between V-J Day and today, when I
think of our government sending General KARSEALL as an
emissary to Chine; what for? To try to consolidate the
Nationalist government and the Communists. Now, he was

"I should like to disagree with you there, Senator, on
several points of fact and several points of opinion: On
a.point of fact, it can hardly be said that General MARSEBLL
gave any advantage to the Communist side in China, since
it is on the record that during the period when the sides
were lining up for the civil war, American transportation
by air and sea was taking government forces to positions of
advantage, The Nationalist troops were taken to that part
of Manchuria to which America had access, The Gonunists
went overland in an area which Arerica couldn't control,
"On a question of opinion, I would differ with you in con-
sidering General MARSHALL was a very wise nan, Ho surveyed
the situation there, found a situation which America would
not be in a position to control, and not being able to cen-
trol the position, ho recommended a policy that would not
got us in deeper,"
"**** In the big surrenders of the Nationalist troops in
Manchuria in November and December of 1948, the NEW YORK
TIMES carried the report that, in one surrender of one
group of Iiationnlist armies without fighting, they turned
over to the Communists intact nore American arms and sup-
plies thfill the value of that $125,000,000. So, if you are
trying to aid a country which is losing the supplies and
surrendering then as rapidly as that, what is the use of
pouring more down the sane rat hole?"
"Well, you night call it a rat hole, but as I see it, this
isnit a rat hole; this is the vital interest of the United
States of America, ****"
**** I agree with you that it is to the American interest
to stabilize the situation, to nininize the spread of coa-
nunisn anywhere and everywhere, I think the practical
question is one as to what methods work in what area, The
Marshall Plan method has worked very well in stabilizing
Europe and restoring morale, Everything that we have spent
in China has been nisspent and mismanaged, There is H0 use
trying to give more honey to the sane people to waste in
the sane way,

cerning General MAD, of the Chinese Communists, who made the statement t-bat in
case of America going to war with Russia, the Communists in China would be on
the side of Russia. Senator FERGUSON commented also that Mr. FOSTER and I-Ir,
DENNIS had likewise stated that if America went to war with Russia, the Ameri-
can Commmists would be on the side of Russia, LNBTII-TORE in replyetated,
Senator, you have been telling us at rather considerable length '
something that I think all of us know, that the Chinese Communists
will lies! the Bnssiens right down the line on any question of
international politics where each one thinks that the other*s voice
can help, Thnt is not the question of Russian control in Chine or _
the spread of Communism in Asia which is what we need to stop by
methods more successful than those we have been so unsuccessful with,"
In summarizing the debate, Sen.-itor FERGUSON took the position that
the United States ought to give moral support to China and also military aid
to help the Nationalist Government carry on against dictatorship and totaJ.i-
tarienisrn,
Mr, l-AITl1£OREs summary was as follows:
"H3 summary, Hr, GRAITIK, is to return where I began this debate, We
have :1 situation which cannot be controlled by military intervention
or by further military aid oi the kind that has already proved so
unsuccessf92., We must therefore try to return or to turn aside to
methods of constructive economic stabilization to minimize the inr-
ther spread of communism in Asia, something I shonld inaeine along
the lines of President Trunars point 4 in his inauguration speech,
constructive programs of development in baolcword countries, He
must try to bring that into combination with our EllI0p0fI1 policy.

advised on April 12, 1949, that he ha-:1 a discussion with Hrs. 0'-.1311 L£92E'TIIIQ?C-5
concerning recent book reviews on this book, Mrs, LATTI1-IOPB on this occasion
informed him that she thought all of the boot: reviews were ,¢;oo:1 except the
one which appeared. in the "How York Times , which she considered very critical.
The book review which ¢'2p:!C8.I'O l in the I-Tow York Times" of April 10,
1949, is by S'J.'UAlL§/f.ILLICO, formerly a newspapermnn in China and Japan, In
pert his comments on LIsIPTlI--i0.-E's book are set out as follows:
' "The trouble with Asia according to OWEII LATTII-EOE, is that the whole
continent is out of control, Nothing; that the United. States or its
allies can do, he eontencls, will ever put the West back in control of
the lands and peoples from Suez to the western Pacific, However, in
The Situation in Asia he explains what can still be sa.lv.-iged and how
it can be clone, His p1_Ogra.'3 calls for reorientation of Jinericm
policy, particularly our insistence on law and order in preference
to cienocratic progress,
"It is doubtful whether the United States has another nan so well
informed on northeastern Asia,-and at the some time so literate-»
as OWIII L..ITI1-lO.iJ,
"Scores of students of the For East are indebted to Mr. le1l_iIMOP.E} f or
their knowledge, their theories and their sympathies. Tho Situation
in Asia,therei'ore, is likely to have n. definite influence on informed.
American thinldng,
"It is giiffieult to reduce I-Er, L.'LKTIIIO..'-?31s reasoning to .a few words,
but it_is approximately this: The West can no longer control events
in Asia, In all but a few negligible states nationalism is in the
sac1<J.e, The West simply does not have the strength to restore the
old. colonial order u.nd.er any disguise, and the United. States is cioié;

u"itself and democracy a dis-service when it backs Netherlands, Britishor French efforts to restore order, ' i
"The author sees the possibility of Con!-runist control in many Asiatic
governments, but less zlangcr of Soviet cionination, E0 expects For
Eastern 'Titeisz:2' to keep the Russians under control.! Cornrnmisn is
attractive new because it talks a sure-fire program-nationalism and
freedom from landlord exploitation, Few Asiatics see Russian threat'
to their freedom and. livelihood, "The inelination,' he asserts, to
cell 1~Iar::isn progressive, and the increasing tendency to teice the
word iclenocratiel away from Europe and America and give it to Russia
and iarxisn, are ar.".eng the hard. facts of the Asia of today, _
"E-'1-any who reef. The Situation in Asia qiiekly will feel that 2-Er,
LA'lTI1-203.3 is backing the Soviet line, Actually, he is not, He
appears to have tried to maintain corrglete objectivity an-5. to paint
the picture as he sees it, Often he seens to feel that Russian
policy is sounder, more astute and/or more p1O§.. "QssiU'C than that
arleptec. by the United States-and he says se, I-Io thinks we are
frequently confused and occasionally plain wrong, For example, he
says we have made a mistake in opposing Outer I-!on§;olia's applica-
tion for membership in the United Nations, If the Lien;-gels ever
are to reject Russian cloaination, he believes, they must be encouraged
to assert their individuality, Accepting; then into the world family
would be a cheap and effective encouragement,
"Much as this reviewer admires Mr, LATTIHORE, it seems necessary to
say that The Situation in Asia represents $O11OthinF, of an infla-
tiorary trend, In short, his beck occasionally discusses subjects
in which his COIZ'£pt3G0nO6 is not obvious, He is thorouehly 1-t 1 -of.-0 in
Ghina, anal probably no other American can analyze the iiuonintanf;
with such authority, But he is not necessarily equally at hone in
Yugoslavia, whose relations with the Kremlin he crplains in the sane
persuasive voice, LATTII-I033 on CHI.-1119 certainly needs no commenta-
tion, but LATTINOP3 on TITO may, The critical reac.e:r- 1.-reul. like to
know the basis for categorical statements on subjects far from
LA.'2TII'iOE?-3's customary field,
"In his closing chapter Mr, LATTII-{ORE remarks that the nest success,» _
ful American policies have been carried. out tin-ougjh the Unites lIe.tione:" ._ _...
the nest disastrous have been those that by-passer. it, It is pert
of his program for i.!ITpIOVin-"§ our overseas position that, instead of
operating inrlepemiently, we use the United Ilatiens for all pure fore-ivgil ' _
operations,"_ --5.
