VIEW FROM THE HILL; Red Chinamen: The New Breed 8c Recognition 0 , ,i - . Bv GANS The United States policy toward Red China must be restudied and revised. This was the theme of former Secretary of State Dean Aehescm's talk some two weeks ao. What should be added, and what he neglected to add, is that the U.S. should now recognize the reality of Communist China. Moreover representatives of the Communist regime should be given a seat in the United Nations. The necessity for this major revision should be obvious. Stand ing out boldly as the primary rea son is the fact that the Communist regime is the political control of the nearly 500 million people of the geographic area called China. Moreover, it may be noted from the writings of many noted stu dents of Chinese affairs that the revolution in which the Commun ists gained control of China was a popular one. The people wanted communism because they saw in towns across the Russian border people who were clothed better and ate better than the Chinese people under the Nationalist re gime of Chiang Kai-shek. No amount of propoganda can obliter ate this fact. Nur can anyone say today thai tlie average Chinese does not eat. better, does not travel more com fortably, is not clothed better, and has not more industry that he can boast about than ten years ago when the Nationalist regime was still grimly hanging onto power. No stories about bloody purges in which a handful of Chinese are involved can change this. Other reasons for de ure. as well as de facto, recognition of Red China should be obvious. Dur. ing the Korean War when 100.000 Chinese soldiers poured from be hind the Yalu River to send the United Nations armies hurtling backwards and General Mac Arthur to civilian life, the Ameri can government and the V. N. protested the action to a govern ment to which they did not give cognizance of existance. It is a curious situation when you give up your life to citizens of a coun try that does not exist but whose bayonets seem awfully real. This problem simply stated is that if you ccme across a bear or a lion in the forest, you don't ignore its existence. You must, if you are to survive, recognize its xistence and find methods by which to ileal with it. Moreover, the enigma of Red China has been a source of di plomat ic imbai rassment to the United States as recently as this past summer. When several U. S. students went to China in order to investigate how the people lived there, the State Department was in a posiion of having to chastise the students because they went to a country where diplomatic recog nition was not accorded, and hav ing to reconcile this with Ameri can ideals of 'free" education. Moreover. when Secretary of State Dulles denied newsmen the right to report from Red China, he had to reconcile this with the American ideal of the Free press. When he finally allowed newsmen A PERSPECTUS: L'lL ABNER 6T?u 4 V! :t:1- r,, t ti tvt r xi s i nice iritis uui ii iias no oiHuiiicaiice i Tfc maKwto Voir o- to go over, but did not allow Chinese newsmen to come to the U. S.. he was forced to answer the question of what has the United States to hide. The votes on admission of Red China to the U. N. have each year become closer, and if the U. S. is to keep what little initiative it has left amongst the powers of the tree world, it had better vote in Red China soon before the Gen eral Assembly goes over the head of the United States. ' i t - China holds the largest popula tion of all countries in the world. It therefore becomes the number one manpower reservoir in the world in time of war. It stands at the gateway of the resource rich Southeast Asian countries of Burma, Malaya, and Indoesia, but perhaps now most important of all. with its new industry. China is becoming the largest factor in Asiatic trade. With the present prohibitive tariffs in the U.S., Japan and oth er smaller Asiatic strongholds are being forced to deal with China to maintain subsistence. The econ omies of these countries can be come very readily China depen dent, rather than dependent on the U. S. If this comes about, and U. S. policies remain constant, the influence of the U. S. in Asia will be minor indeed. For all the above reasons and for the added reason that in aid ing Chiang Kai-shek in the past the U. S. has lined the pockets of the few and benefited the many not at all, the United States had bet ter look to reality for its policy. The U. S must recognize Red China if American influence in the Far East is to continue. WISE AND OTHERWISE: The Return To Isolation: Ike's Administration Whit Whitfield The people of these United States are extremely fortunate that the "good ol' days" are gone forever. Remember when we were the undisputed world leaders under the Roosevelt and Truman ad ministrations? This Nvas terribly unfair to the rest of the countries gf the world. They hardly had a chance. So viet Russia was then only a sec ond rate power. Now, under the dominant leadership of President Eisenhower and the progressive Republicans we can no longer boast so loudly. This has been good for the national ego. We can hope to profit by our experience. We have been good winners for so long that it is only fair to take the real test of sportsmanship and see what type losers we are. This chance we owe to the foresight of the Eisenhower administration. During the Democratic adminis trations of Roosevelt and Truman the United States was ruler of the world. There was no one else who could boast as many ships, planes, guns, stategic military bases, etc., etc., etc. Now the story is some what different. No longer 'do the American scientists hold their former positions as demi-gods. The Soviet demigods now are in the limelight. The "world traveler" is bungl ing almost every attempt he makes at diplomacy, and some of our former friends have been lost, while others are looking to us with dubious eyes. It might truth fully be stated that the year 1952 was the beginning of the end for American Supremacy. The mighty monarch of the western hemis phere has- lost its golden touch. This is a good sign. A sign that the world is not in a rut. so to speak a sign of progress. We may soon shed all our res ponsibilities as a world leader. We have given so many of them over to Soviet Russia that they are be ginning to learn how to handle them. It is generally thought, we believe, that Russia is only too willing to accept them. When this time comes, the United States can retire on its laurels and once more assume its isolationst policy of the early part of the, twentieth century. This will save the taxpayers great sums of money. This is where the Eisen hower tax cut comes in. It would seem to many that this is a rather drastic way to reduce the budget, but not really. It is by the easiest way, and that should be the way to do things the easy way. This new twist of fate is a good change from the "good ol' days." Because of inconsistent foreign policy, internal strife (Lit tle Rock), and scientific lag. We need the propaganda, not Soviet Russia. The shoe is now on the other foot.

NOT gAT6, HUH? tfO3HSATS? AlVT VSN . fiOTA PlV Ol' Miss' Dominion On Racial Disorders . MISSISSIPPI STATE COLLEGE: The incidents arising from the integration of Lit tle Rock and Tennessee High Schools have left a dark blot on the heretofore clean slate of the South and of the United States. Such action , as was taken by radicals on both sides of -thes question is inexcusable, and-has co.st the. United States immensely in the loss of world wide respect. .. Violence, in opposition to the integration of pub lic schools, is not the ansNver. Violence only leads to t needless, bloodshed. Opposition through. legal meth ods is. the only hope that the South has to prevent integration. ; -The, situation, in Little Rock last week with Na tional Guardsmen and Federal troops standing iiard is. an example of the work of radicals and rabble rousers Nvorking for both sides ... a tragic thing. ;.. v Maay; southerners regret President Eisenhower's decision tp cal out Federal forces, but we must face realities. ;The United States government" is not and can not permit, violence to block the order of its eourts.;;We, here in the Deep South, can, no: win with force. ' ' -"" :t. It. is evident , that many Southern people think "that demonstrations . . . even violent destructive demonstrations will end integration attempts, but this , only makes the Federal Government clamp down even more. The good citizens of the South certainly do not want mob violence, but the action of, the. Supreme Court in declaring segregation il legal, in many of their minds left them Nvith seem ingly no alternative. Even more than violence, the proposed abolition of public schools in many Southern states would paralyze one great area of the United States. On? hundred years of toil and sweat Tirould be blotted out in one quick move by state legislatures. With Mississippi and many other Southern states ranking very low educationally in the United States, it would be cutting off the nose to spite the face it public schools were abolished. Yes, the problems are many, but violence i not the answer . . . careful rational thinking and planning from both sides of the question with dis regard for petty hatred and jealousness is the only way that the problem can be solved. Let us not fool ourselves into thinking that we can force the United States government into doing something it has no intention of doing. We must work out the situation . . . together. VIRGINIA TECH: Not too long ago nine men decided to remade the country. These nine judges of the Supreme Court were not in a hurry. They did not ask that the "re construction" be carried out over nights Within the South there were many men who sought ways to meet this "law" without violence. The plans of these men require time for fulfillment. Sadly, this time has not been allowed them. Impatient Federal Jud ges and the NAACP have decided that this "rebirth of the South" must take place now, this September! Why, I ask myself, won't they give us time to solve our own problems in our own way? We Southerners did not like the decision of the nine men in Wash ington but we do recognize authority and we realize that if we are to continue to live as a free people, we abide by the laws of our free society,, no matter how distasteful these laws may be. But. the use oi Federal troops to force compliance with this new legal requirement certainly runs the risk, of increa ing the desp.erate feeling of the Southerners who see themselves coerced by a great powr. from Wash ington. We are ready to comply with the law of the land but we will not have this law shoved down our throats with a bayonet. Mary Baldwin Speaks On Asiatic Slant Now that the Asian flu vaccine is being made available to the student body, each student should take advantage of receiving the inoculation. The fact cannot be stressed enough that the rea son the college is taking so many precautions is be cause of the epidemic tendencies of the disease. If measures were not taken in advance here at Mary Baldwin as well as throughout the United States, the entire national health program could be crippled should an epidemic develop. Asian flu, even though it may attack large num bers of peonle, has an extremely low mortality rate and is in general a mild disease with few ccmplica tions. It would be well to remember thr.t out of j million and a half cases in Japan, there were only five- deaths. In most cities, this vaccine has not been offered to the public. The shots are being given only to people such as: transportation workers, physicians, nurses, city workers, and government" officals. The following facts about Asian flu were taken from an article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch on September 30. The disease itself lasts normally about a week. But "secondary infections" as pneumonia, and ear and sinus infections are common. Asian flu is person-to-person spread; similar to the com mon cold, it is contracted through droplets taken in through the nose and throat. It is contracted through contact with those having the disease; thus it is easy to see how fast an epidemic could spread through the Mary Baldwdn community. We should be proud that Mary Baldwin was one of the first colleges in Virginia to apply for the inoculations. Join with your fellow students and get your shot as soon as possible. Every shot given lessens the chance of an epidemic. Proof Reader !
