At a recent seminar on China, held at Columbia University under the aegis of the New York State Department of Education, a troubled lady approached the principal speaker. She was a high-school teacher, and she held in her hand a textbook from which she was currently instructing her students: China, by Herold J. Wiens, published by the Fideler Co. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. What worried the lady was a statement on page 65:

“The Chinese people did not elect the men who run their government and they cannot vote to put them out of office.”
