Tho Malayan Monitor, published in London for many years, and gonerally accepted as the mouthpiece here of the banned Malayan C.P., has in its Decombor 3lst 1962 issue dealt with the Sino-Indian border dispute, and in doing so has clearly lined up with the Chinese C.P., and thus in ingland has been the first to express publicly the views of the pro-Chinese fraction of tho British C.P. It starts with 2 list of actions of the Indian Government since 21st. Nov., 1962, including all its pro-Imperialist turns, and the "intense jingoism ond war hystvria churned out" by radio, otc....and tho "renegade 'Left' group which calls itself the 'National Council of the Communist Party of India." (sic
Noxt follows a polemic against "some" and "those" who "delve deep into history, oven mediaeval and pre-mediaeval history to garnish their point, but who affoct a kind of gonteel horror at historiacl rescarch which is necessary to prove and show the causation of vital events." Then follows an analysis of the Chinese withdrawal and the Golombo Conference. "Only a fool or a Party", says the Monitor, "with wunhoalthy secret motives would interpret the Chineso action of ceasefire and voluntarily withdrawal as otherwiso"(than "a polite or morciful gosture" id. noto. )
It then calls on India to respect the decisions of the Colombo Confer— ence, "for the well-being of Asia and africa (including India), for the integrity of the Bandung spirit, and for the peace of the world" Shades of "moeaceful co-oxist— ence}
But lastly under the heading of "BuWARS OF POLITICAL SvaVuNGukS" comes the most remarkable passage of all. The Monitor deals with those "scavengers" thuss "In addition to the open interventionists who have bodovilled Sino~Indian relations as from the very beginning — namely the U.S. and Britain —- one mst also take note of the less prominent politi cal scavengers who are threshing about in the muddied waters of Sino-Indian rolations looking for scraps. The scavengers, like the imporjialists aro not interested in the restoration of tranquility between India and China, They are not intorcsted in Afro-Asian solidarity. Thoy do not want peace in isiay or anywhere else for that matter. All they want is the opportunity, to create trouble out of normalcy, and chaos out of trouble in order to extend their rotten regine of fake independence, fake democracy, fake socialism, fake communism, fake peace, fake noutrality, and fake non-alignment. Already these modern revisionists are trying to exploit the Colombo Conference by devious ways, hoping to turn it into an extended 'third force! sphere."
Such violence is aimed clearly at the Yugoslavs, but if it is them alone, why is there failure to mention them specifically? It svoms just as likely that it is aimed also at the Khrushchevians. In any case it is a romarkable article, more by what it omits than what it includes. Ilany questions are left unanswored... though we can have a fair guess at the answors of most of thom! (2D.
