The status of Tibet in international law is the subject of much debate, but the fact is that nearly all Chinese, including the government of Chiang Kai-shek, have long regarded Tibet as an integral part of China. The occupation of Tibet, like the brutal suppression of the re- bellion there a decade later, was in Chinese eyes a reassertion of Chinese sovereignty. China had ruled Tibet from the 1720's until the first part of the present century. Rather than reflecting foreign policy principles, this question is, for the Chinese, an internal affair. A related incident, the Sino-Indian border conflict of 1962, occurred under confused circum- stances along the boundary between Tibet and India, a boundary which has been under dispute for almost a half century. The Indians threatened a general offensive against Chinese troops stationed in the contested territory, but it was the Chinese who initiated large-scale fighting. Their forces penetrated deep into India, then after routing the Indian Army withdrew unilaterally to the boundary as it has always appeared on Chinese maps. China's resort to arms laid it open to charges of aggression. Its goals had, however,

In 1911 the Republicans brought the Manchu Dynasty tumbling down but failed to construct a viable replacement. Fifteen years later Sun Yat- sen's successor, Chiang Kai-shek, tried again, but his success was shallow and short-lived. The warlords sprang up in the vacuum created by a revolution which could bring off Stage I but not Stage 11.It took a second revolution, led by the Communist Party, to fill the vacuum created by the decline of the Manchus and the feebleness of the Republicans. Although they were a disparate group of indi- viduals, the warlords shared four things in common: 1) armies trained in the techniques of modern warfare, but owing their allegiance to their commanders personally rather than to a government; 2) control over a geographic area; 3) revenues from their own tax collections; 4) an in- tense concern for power and wealth, rather than ideology or national welfare. Sun Yat-sen and, to a lesser extent, Chiang Kai-shek each accom- modated the Kuomintang (Republican) Party to these conditions. The Communists wedded organization, ideology and nationalism in such a way as to overcome the same conditions. In traditional Confucian China military careers carried little prestige. Instead, social mobility was attained by entry into the intellectual civil bureaucracy. Until the turn of the century rivals for power and threats to Peking's central authority came largely from the civilian population. Dissi- dent gentry took command of armies temporarily, but their long-range ambitions could be satisfied only outside the military. Professional military careers were not attractive to ambitious Chinese until the warlord period. Today Chiang and Lin Piao both reflect this significant change in the status system of Chinese society. New sources of social prestige went hand-in- hand with the introduction of Western ideas and technology. Modernization of the Chinese military began while the Manchus still ruled in Peking. After the humiliating defeat by Japan in 1894-95, the Imperial Court ordered one of its young commanders to reform the Chinese army. Yuan Shih-k'ai, who twenty years later climbed on the Republicans' shoulders and pronounced himself the new Emperor, carried out his com- mission well-almost too well. He adopted the German military as his model of a modern army and produced the most formidable fighting force in China at that time.

Days in Yenan, 1936·46. In 1934, when forced to flee from their southern base in Kiangsi province by Chiang Kai-shek's encircling Nationalist army, the Communists began their incredible year-long trek to the northwest province of Shensi. After covering approximately 5,000 miles through 18 mountain ranges and across 24 rivers, and with almost daily skirmishes or battles, they r-ached Yen an which then became their sanctuary. From this border region, Mao, and the "old revolutionaries" who now rule the People's Republic of China, further developed and applied the strategy and tactics used in the War of Resistance and the Civil War in China.

The Japanese invasion in 1937 temporarily brought an appearance of unity between the Nationalists and Communists; however, with the end of World War II and a common enemy, this pretense soon faded. At Chungking conferences and through negotiations in Peking, General Marshall tried to bring the opposing parties together, but Chiang and Mao remained foes. Battles raged 85 talks continued until China's Northeast was overrun by the Communists in the faU of 1948, and Mao's army crossed the Yangtze river to victory the following spring.

12 Connecticut College Alumnae News. Spring 1970 The new regime, 1949. The Preparatory Com- mittee of the People's Political Consultative Con- ference with 662 delegates representing 23 factions, ushered in a new era with the Common Program (a provisional constitution) on Sep- tember 29, 1949. The basis of the new regime was the principle of a united front, but Mao's "democratic" coalition did not exclude Communist dictatorship. At first, upper class non-Communists (liberal intellectuals] were given some prominent posts because their particular talents were needed, but their participation in government diminished with the adoption of the 1954 constitution,

Twenty years after the establish- ment of the new regime, busts of Mao Tse-tung are still being mode and sold. Land reform 1950-52. The creation of state, collective, and cooperative farms brought about a drastic redistribution of land; the goal, however, was as much social and political as economic. When cadres arrived in villages, they first of all identified their enemies and only then talked to the peasants about land reform. "Complaint rallies" where the people were encouraged to speak out against their landlords became popular, and were followed by trials in the People's Courts where thousands were condemned to ex- ecution. Millions of others died as anti-revolutionaries. It was announced originally that each peasant would own his share of the redistributed land for a long period, but almost immediately a collectivist agrarian system was initiated through a program of cooperatives.

Realistic group-sculptures, such as this one, spread the ideology of Chinese Communism by reminding the people of past grievances. A tyrannical landlord is shown here berating a poor peasant.

Out of China's population of 750 million people, four percent are minority groups living largely in the border provinces or autonomous regions. The Communists have made a great effort over the years to woo these nation- alities, especially in the early 50's. In spite of their attempts, large-scale immigration of Chinese settlers into such sparsely populated border areas has intensified friction between Chinese and the minority groups.

16 Connecticut College Alumnae News _ Spring 1970 The first Five Year Plan. 1953·57. After three years of economic rehabilitation, the Peking government launched an ambitious plan to in- dustrialize China. With Soviet aid, the three industrial centers of Mukden, Wuhan, and Pao- t'ou were developed, and the slogan "Learn from advanced experiment" was repeated enthusias- tically. The goal set for production of machine Above - Wuhan iron and steel works. tools and steel tripled at a sacrifice of only a small increase planned for light industry (con- Below - Bridge over the Yangtze River finished in 1969. sumer goods) and agricultural commodities. This concentration proved. however, to be impractical; today, less emphasis is placed on heavy industry.

17 "Let a hundred flowers bloom togther, let the hundred schools of thought contend." 1956. As- suming that only "responsible criticism" would be forthcoming, Mao used this slogan in encouraging intellectuals to criticize the government. But when extensive dissatisfaction with the aims and methods of the Party became evident, the authorities became alarmed, and criticism was quickly and harshly suppressed. What started out as blossoming flowers of free opinion, turned over- night into "poisonous weeds."

People's communes and "the Great Leap For- ward," 1957. Encouraged by the economic progress made during the first decade of the People's Republic, Mao initiated the formation of large scale communes, and a program for greatly increased industrial production known as the "Great Leap Forward." Cooperative farms were amalgamated for maximum efficiency into self- sufficient, military- type organizations, each of approximately 5,000 households [about 22,300 people). Plans were made at the same time to increase steel production to equal England's in fifteen years; the fervor went so far as to en- courage backyard smelters manned by unskilled labor. It soon became obvious, however, that communes were impractical without mechanized farm machinery, and the smaller collective farms averaging 20-40 families returned as "production teams." It was also found that more than enthusiasm was needed to make steel; "greater, faster, better, and more economic results" were not achieved, Management problems, planning errors, broken down transportation, and finally exhaus- tion and apathy led to an economic depression.

19 The Great Proletarian Revolution, 1966-68. When Mao learned in 1966 that within China forces conflicting with his ideological and cultural front were increasing, he instigated a new method for wiping out opposition. "Revisionists" and "bourgeois capitalist roaders" were purged by youthful REd Guards and later the People's Liberation Army. Teachers were the first to suffer humiliatiun and punishment, and with the schools closed, Red Guards wandered about the country judging others and meting out punishment as they willed. Although the economy was not affected, political turmoil lasted over two years. This period in China's history will always be symbolized by "the little red book" containing Mao Tse-tung's thoughts. It was read night and day, from one corner of China to another, by young children and grandparents, factory worker and farmer.

27 Ruby [o Reeves Kennedy Memorial Service

Harkness Chapel, January 8, 1970

President Charles E. Shain

These latter marks of academic distinction and service were dear to Ruby) a Kennedy. She believed in the structure and in the rituals of our academic world. In recent years she openly re- gretted the diminishing of these loyalties to form and tradition among the new academic generations. But she was no elitist and no snob. Her own style was ardent and directly personal. The Lucretia Allyn Professor of Sociology was always delighted to be able to deliver a gift of two dozen home-grown brown eggs in a brown paper bag to our kitchen doors. But her eyes would snap as she defended the College's right to expect professors when on duty to act like professors.

Ruby J 0 Kennedy was a social sociologist and she practiced what she preached. None of us in this College was so useful to our surrounding community as she. Her notions of active citizen- ship and service sprang from her 'generous personality, and her liberal politics were rooted in Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. As an academic sociologist she was interested in the sociology of marriage and family life, and especially in the care of children who were handicapped by birth defects or severe human dislocations. Over the years her students in the course "Social Work and Social Welfare" were her troops in the corn- munity. Student activism and academic credit for off-campus activities were not educational in- novations in her life as a teacher. Even her pat- terns for running a department were based on the family system. To be continually available to her majors for long talks, to keep conversations going between members of her staff, always to talk things over: what other means had God given us, she seemed to say, for solving our kinds of problems and having our kind of fun.

Ruby [o Reeves Kennedy was born in Sanger, Texas, on November 5, 1908. She was graduated Those of us who are relatively newcomers to from Texas State College for Women in 1929, and this college feel at this moment how much the later taught there.
