GUIDE TO GOOD READING

Mary Endicott’s splendid
book on People's China

WHEN Mary Endicott and her
husband, Dr. .James Endicott,
were chatting with Chinese offi-
cials in Pengpu, during their
four-month visit to People’s
China in 1952, the conversation
turned to Mrs. Endicott’s plans
for writing a book about all they
had seen in that ancient and yet
so new land. One of the officials
said, “Your husband will tell the
people in Canada about our pol-
itical situation; you will tell them
the personal things. Both are
important. We want foreign
friends to understand us as peo-
ple and to rejoice with us in our
new life.”

This is just what Mrs, Endi-
cott has accomplished in her re-
cently published book Five Stars
Over China. In her descriptions
of the rebirth of this great na-
tion she-has brought us a picture

not only of the many physical
changes in the country, but also
of vast changes in the people
themselves. Her book is particu-
larly revealing, for she compares
and evaluates . everything she
sees with that of the China she
and her family ;were familiar
with during their 22 years of
missionary work in that coun-
try.

Mrs. Endicott takes the read-
er with her as she talks to gov-
ernment officials, leaders ‘of na-
tional organizations, women’s
groups, peasants, workers, cap-
italists, teachers and church
leaders. She is constantly am-
azed at the transformation tak-
ing place in every field of work
and the transformation of a peo-
ple once hopeless and inarticu-
late into a nation of vigorous and
joyous individuals who for the
first time can live without fear
of persecution. Here are people
who worked with such enthus-
iasm and determination that
they accomplished in ~ three
years what the “experts” always
considered to be 50-year projects.

The Endicotts were fortunate”
to arrive in China during the
biggest national housecleaning
in history. The whole world
knows of the complete corrup-
tion and rottenness which per-
vaded the whole Kuomintang ad-
ministration and the new Peo-

ple’s government of China real-
ized that these immoral prac-
tices had to be dealt with before
the nation could launch its first
Five Year Plan for expanding
the economy. One of the Endi-
cotts’ American friends describes
the campaign in these words:

“The San Fan campaign is
the first phase of an Anti-Cor-
ruption Movement: which is in
tended to reform the thinking —
and conduct of everyone il
China. San Fan means, literally, —
‘Three Against:’? It stands for
the campaign against corrup:
tion, waste and bureaucracy.”

This campaign, which started
first within the Communist party,
spread among government per
sonnel on all levels, to people’s
organizations such as trade un-
ions, cultural societies, the W0
men’s Association and Youth
Federation.

After the San Fan has spread
across the country a_ parallel
campaign, Wu Fan, “Against
Five Evils,” will be launched 11.
private shops and factories. This
is intended to clean out all dis
honest practices which were tol
erated in capitalist enterprises.

For those who believe that
human nature cannot be change
we would certainly recommen
this section of the book for ser
ous study, for here is proof 0
what can be done by criticism
and self-criticism.

In Five Stars Over China (ob-
tainable in Vancouver at the Peo
ple’s Cooperative Bookstore, 33

sented in the five gold stars 02

workers,* the peasants, the 24
tional capitalists, the petty
bourgeoisie and the leading

group, the Chinese Communist

party.—B.G. poe
