The article offers political news briefs . Famine conditions have exist in China without any cause.

This article reports on the dangerous activities of the pro-Nationalist China lobby. Out of the rebel of voices touched off by U.S. Senator J. McCarthy's wild Red charges there has emerged the imperative need for a Congressional inquiry into the irresponsible and dangerous activities of the pro-Nationalist China lobby. The China lobby is voracious. It is dissatisfied with the $6 billion worth of gold bullion, arms and equipment the United States gave to Chiang Kaishek, despite the stubborn refusal of that old warrior to reform his corrupt regime.

The article focuses on China lobbyist Alfred Kohlberg. Kohlberg would indeed be either the very last person or the very first person one would expect to discover trafficking in Communist Chinese merchandise. The U.S. customs authorities apparently saw it the latter way when, in December, 1954, they impounded 30,800 embroidered linen handkerchiefs, worth $90,000, which Kohlberg had imported from Hong Kong. Kohlberg protests they were not made in Communist China but in Hong Kong. Kohlberg will be remembered as the voluble New York propagandist who seven years ago led the China Lobby's attack on the State Department's now-exiled China hands.
