our members, and PLAIN TRUTH readers. As you will recall, the Vice-Chairman
was in a particularly talkative mood, and he launched into a full-scale
discussion
along geopolitical lines.... He was urging a strong Europe to oppose a 'militant
imperialistic Russia.' It was then that you were able to tell him what is in
prophecy, and I believe he listened very attentively to your description of the
coming
United Europe, and the events that will be so momentous for the entire world.
"The Vice-Chairman undoubtedly had been advised of your strong comments
Monday night and again on Tuesday night. I believe that he knew full well that
the United Europe and the cataclysm that would follow were directly connected
with your comments about the 'Strong Hand from somewhere' that would save
mankind from complete destruction and would be man's salvation and only HOPE.
"The Vice-Chairman, as we later discovered, was a contemporary of Chou
En-Lai and Chairman Mao, and had a military background as well as political."
The above is quoted from a memorandum written after we returned to Tokyo.
Wednesday evening we attended a special program sponsored by the
Ambassador
International Cultural Foundation at a Peking theatre. The theatre was crowded
and there was vigorous standing applause as our party entered. It was a
semiballet
program and was excellent. We were guided up on the stage at the end of the
show,
as audience applause continued, and we shook hands with the whole cast. The AICF
will
endeavor to arrange for this show to be staged at the Ambassador Auditorium in
Pasadena. and also in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco and other
major
cities.
Thursday noon we left for the airport. There, to see us off and bid us
good-bye was a delegation, again including the president and vice-president
of the government's educational system.
We were royally received and entertained by the government people.
They could not have been more friendly. And we were enthusiastically invited
to come again.
On Saturday night there was a banquet in Tokyo at which, among many
toasts, I was privileged to speak again. Then Sunday the long trip home to
Tucson,
with one fuel stop at Cold Bay, Alaska.
God was with us. He gave us great favor in the eyes of our Chinese hosts.
I had been invited to visit China some five or six years ago, by the
Chinese
Ambassador in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. At that time the government at Peking
refused to admit me, saying I had written articles against Communism. However,
they said, they had noted that it had been many years ago, and I had not written
things against Communism in recent years, so they said then they might
invite me later. And this they did.
