Mr. STENHOUSE. I think I went to Shanghai in April--April, May, June, with the Commission. And then June, July, August, or something like that, with Food and Agriculture. Mr. TAVENNER. Of what year? Mr. STENHOUSE. 1948. Mr. VELDE. Were you a member of the Communist Party at that time, Mr. Stenhouse? Mr. STENHOUSE. No, sir. Mr. TAVENNER. Will you define your duties in the various assignments you held while in China? Mr. STENHOUSE. Well, on the Commission it was research and analysis and reporting, and I wrote a report on the problems of reestablishing interregional trade in the Far East. And it was published by the United Nations--not under my name, but incorporated in a much larger volume. Mr. TAVENNER. Will you identify the volume and the article for the use of the committee? Mr. STENHOUSE. It must have been published. I suppose it was published in 1949 probably. Mr. TAVENNER. Under what caption? Mr. STENHOUSE. I don’t remember that. It was published by the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East as a subsidiary agency of the United Nations. But my material wasn’t any single article. It was incorporated with a lot of other material by a lot of other people. Mr. TAVENNER. In other words, your article was used as source material in the preparation of a report by the United Nations. Is that what you mean? Mr. STENHOUSE. Yes. Mr. TAVENNER. During your assignment in China were you required to confer with known members of the Communist Party? Mr. STENHOUSE. No. Mr. TAVENNER. Or Communists? Mr. STENHOUSE. Well, I want to be frank here, but, first of all, I would like you to tell me in the context of Chinese people what the definition of a Communist is. Mr. TAVENNER. Living in China as long as you did, you probably should understand that. Mr. STENHOUSE. That is very difficult. The longer you live in China the harder it is to do it. Mr. VELDE. Were you conferring with the economic leaders in China when you were on this assignment with the United Nations? Mr. STENHOUSE. Yes. Mr. VELDE. Was China under Communist domination at that time? Mr. STENHOUSE. It certainly wasn’t. Mr. VELDE. When was this? Mr. STENHOUSE. 1948. Mr. VELDE. At that time then you didn’t actually know whether you were dealing with Chiang Kai-shek forces or the Red forces? Mr. STENHOUSE. At that time, Mr. Congressman, Shanghai was still under the Nationalists, and we dealt with officials of the Nationalist Government. Mr. VELDE. Then you certainly wouldn’t expect them to be Communists. Mr. STENHOUSE. I wouldn’t expect it, but there were many, I suppose--from what I know now--there were Communists in Shanghai at that time. Mr. VELDE. As leaders in the Nationalist Government? Mr. STENHOUSE. Well, the reason why I asked for the definition was we are always running into this problem of what is a Communist. Mr. VELDE. There was nothing wrong in you conferring with Communists at that time; understand that. Mr. STENHOUSE. I want to answer the question.
