XeAoL35- December 52s —- page three = +his very ambitious program is ebsolutely unconceivaple without very serious Soviet h-lpe It is hence quite clear, : the plan has been put to operation, that full agrc ment has been reached with the Soviet Union, as to the technical and material help to be given to the ‘hinese plans. It is understood that the Soviets will eventually increase the number of its technicians with the Chinese Lend forces to 11.000, while the Arr Force would receive 3.500 Soviet technicians, not including the maintenance crews and instructors of maintenance crews; and the Chinese Navy Somewhat around 2.000 technicians. As to the furnishing of equipment, needs always will be very great. It is impossible for hina, according to best available intelligence, to produc anything of consegu nce for its naval forces before 1956 or even later. -or the armed frces, one assembly plant and several important repair shops are already in operation, but they have to rely mainly on Hussian partSe Nevertheless, progress in this field is so great that our observers believe, that the first “hinesemade T-34 might be out by th» beginning of 1954. the construction of light artillery should start before the Summer of 1953. It is also to be expected that by the end of 1954, “hina will have a creditable industry for the production of rifles, machine guns and munitionSe How far China might go in the construction and building of planes coulda unfortunately not be learned. It is certain nevertheless that a “hinese aircraft industry is planned, and will be constructed by “oviet kkkx technicians.

It becomes now q.ite obvious that Uuter Mongolia is slated to play a first-class role in the propaganda war in asia. This is due to the fact that many Asiatics very much idstrust China and Chinese imperialism. Such lack of confid nee does not exist towards the MongolianSe SA.
