CHINA ACCUSED OF WARMONGERING

<N Z. Press .Association—Copyright>

MOSCOW, Feb. 2.

Russia has accused China of trying to provoke a war between the United States and the Soviet Union, it was learned yesterday, United Press International reported.

The accusation was made in a secret memorandum of the Communist Party’s ruling Central Committee that is being circulated throughout the nation among party members.

The former Premier. Nikita Khrushchev. frequently charged China with efforts to foment a nuclear war in the belief that the Chinese would survive and build a “finer civilisation on the ruins of the old one." “If there is such a war,” Mr Khrushchev used to say. “the survivors would only envy the dead.” But this is the first time that the party chief, Mr Leonid Brezhnev, and Premier. Mr Alexei Kosygin, have told their people frankly about China’s “warmongering,” and the unabated Chinese hostility against Russia.

The document will not be published, but its contents are being circulated to the Soviet people by word of mouth, with probably inevitable distortions.

Points Made

The memorandum is said to have made the following points:

Chinese continuing to obstruct and sabotage the delivery of Soviet arms to North Vietnam. The Chinese have rejected all efforts by Communist countries to work out a concerted plan to aid Hanoi. A cold war against the Soviet Union is being waged fiercely inside China with the object of distracting the Chinese people from their own economic hardships. Tens of thousands of letters are being written from China to the Soviet people with defamatory

propaganda materials against the Soviet Union. The Chinese are making absurd territorial claims against Russia. Border incidents occur frequently. Refugees from China in considerable numbers are crossing into Soviet territory for asylum.
