Wellington.—"The situation here is fantastic. It is literally impossible for description in words. The whole place is in a turmoil and there is an air of frenzied activity as hundreds upon hundreds of Red Guards walk the streets reading posters, criticise the leaders, discuss and debate."

So writes Kent Pearson, leader of the New Zealand student party, from Canton, where he gives an eyewitness account of China's "cultural revolution."

'Yet there is an order and restraint about it which would be impossible in a western country. When the crowds grow to thousands as they do every night in Canton's Cultural Park and sing revolutionary songs the mass emotion is frignteningty high; yet they are controlled as individuals and are still immediately approachable at an interpersonal level," says Mr. Pearson.
