Chinese Content

Chinese officials wear the
same clothes as everyone else,
but a little better quality and a
little better tailored, the
Senator noted, remarking that
"everybody's equal, but some
people are a little more equal."
Even so, Mr. Scott observed
that the Chinese are apparently
content with their ideological
goal of "struggle for
achievement" and are
convinced that their present
way of life is better than that
of earlier days.

Mr. Scott senses distinct
possibilities of achieving a new
rapport with Chinese because
of their clear dislike of the
Soviet regime in Russia and
their constant claim that no
quarrel exists between the
peoples of America and China,
but only between the
governments. Coincidentally, he
notes that Russia is now ahead
of the United States in all
weapon categories except
heavy bombers and submarines
and should be equal in those
by 1975.
