"As long as we have a commune like this, there will be more communes," Mao was quoted . (The commune at Hsing-yang in Honan was one of the Communists' major experiments. What was done there was reported and popularized extensively, not only to inspire the nation but also to demonstrate it as a "model" to be followed.) Two days later, Mao was in Shantung and the paper headlined Mao's statement: "We should do well with communes. The advantage: to unite workers, peasants, merchants, intellectuals, and soldiers. Such a system will facilitate political guidance." By the middle of August, when the Politboro was reportedly meeting at Pai Tai Ho, stories suddenly mushroomed in Jen Min Jih Pao. There was a long article about a commune in Hsing-yang, Honan (August 18), another about one in Sinkiang (August 16), Chekiang (August 18), and Tientsin (August 19). en 2001 Alfred S.
