No. 2 Queen

On the reviewing stand in Peking, Chairman Mao Tse-tung reigned supreme as local Queen of the May. Before him for six hours paraded half a million Chinese-labor heroes, model workers, writers, dramatists, Yangko dancers, artists, and soldiers --marching, singing and dancing their way past the Heavenly Peace Gate. To top it all, a group of 60,000 students pranced by, each holding aloft a volume of Mao's recently published collected works.

But though the Peking leader's presence ^dominated the local scene, huge in-criptions decorating the parade square made it tactfully clear that an even greater leader still lived in Moscow. Stalin's name and pictures were carefully balanced with Mao's on all sides. Two approved slogans for the day clarified their relationship: the one for Mao, "Long live Mao Tse-tung, Great Leader of the Working People of China"; the one for Stalin, "Long live Generalissimo Stalin, Great Leader of the Working People of the Whole World."
