But you'll have to translate that 1nto Russian. Because the bankrcj1 headline emanates, not from capitalistic wall e1reet, but - - from the Soviet Kremlin. The Communist reg1/e 11 floating a huge loan by means of a giant nationwide lottery. Today Moacow announced a financial operation to provide funds for the completion ot Stalin's five year Plan ahead of time. !hey will stage a lottery-loan to the lune of twenty billion -- rubles, four billion dollars. A It works this way~- Bonds are sold, bu, each bond 1s, at the same time, a lottery ticket. The bonds carry interest at four per cent, but this interest 1s paid as prizes in the lottery. You buy a bond with a number - and, if the number ins 1n the lottery, you ge t a ur1ze. ' !' he winning n r1zes run up to fifty thousand rubles. SOVIET LOTT E RY ... 2 If you're not so lucky, your bond is rede em ed at face v lue at the end of twenty ye rs. You get your money b ac k, but t1thout interest - the interest on the four billion doll a r bond issue having been pa id out in lottery prizee. It sure sounds like frenzied finance, such as wall street never dreamed of - and I wonder - - what some old-time Red Social1et would aay, who dreamed of a Utopia in whioh there would be no money, that root of all evil abolished. CHENNAULT The China situation has left oat of us, with a feeling of - Chines p uzzle.

To . a joint hearing, Senate and Lower Bouse, he admitt ed he had a personal intere11 in China. In the Committee room sat his Chinese wife -- reminding us how, after the war, the boas-flying - tiger decided to make his home in China. - Today General Chennault stated that suooeaeful realatanoe to the CoJlllllun1ste oilld be made in Oealral China, the vast back country, the Interior provlnoea of Ewangtung, Bunan, ~wange1, Yunnan, Szechuan, and the Moham medan Northwest.

But they will need aid now, as they needed lt then. Chennault estimates that Central Cina can fight off Communist control successfully, if given American help at & cost of what the Berlin Airlift has cost ~a - some three-hundred-and-fifty-m1111on dollars. Be pointed out that vast 4merioan m111tar~ supplies are now available from ~eat~rtime left in the Philippines and at American ba1e1 in the South Pacific. If such aid is provided, Chennau1, believes that Inner China can hold out as a strong- hold for the eventual overthrow of the Communlats in the rest of China -- just as in the case of the final overthrow of the Japanese.
