Chinese Policy
(This is the second in a series of articles about world problems
gathered by members of the International Relations Club).
UNDOUBTEDLY the formation of a permanent policy towards
China is one of the major problems facing the United States govern
ment in 1950. It is an established fact that the opinion of the Ameri
can people toward the Chinese Nationalist government has changed
greatly during the last year. After. spending billions of dollars to
support Chiang Kai-Shek, the United States realizes it cannot con
tinue to play the role of Santa Claus to an incompetent government.
Dr. S. C. Sun, of the School of Mineral Industries, believes the
weak point of American policy in China is that we have over-em
priasized the cold war with Russia. Our government supported
Chiang Kai-Shek because he opposed Communism, despite the
fact that since the Sino-Japanese War the Nationalist government
has been unpopular with a majority of the Chinese people, he said.
THE NATIONALIST government was controlled by a small,
corrupt' group of men who proved themselves inefficient, and were
not concerned with the welfare of the
,people. "The people did not
favor Chiang Kai-Shek's rule, and his group has been defeated,"
Prof. Sun said. Today the Nationalist government is bombing the
mainland from Formosa with American equipment, and Russia is
making excellent use of this as propaganda, he continued. The
Chinese now think Americans are just like the Generalissimo, Mr.
Sun said.
The solution offered by Dr. Sun is that the United States aid
the Chinese people, and not the former government. "Assist the
education program, give the people medical supplies, show them
we are concerned with their benefit, and we can regain the faith of
the populace, and defeat Communism," he concluded.
P. J. BONER of the economics departments, also objects to fur
ther aid to the Nationalist government. "By supporting a govern
ment that has been displaced by another we are obviously playing
into the hands of Communist propaganda, which claims the United
States is not interested in the wishes of the Chinese people," he said.
A new government does exist and this is what the Chinese
wanted, so it would be foolish to try to force them to accept the
Nationalists, he said. Other friendly nations have already recog
nized the new Communist government, 'so if we are to maintain
unstrained relations with these countries we should enforce the
same policy. Mr. Boner stated.
THE UNITED STATES government has committed many, errors
in China and 1950 is the year for a final decision. Whether we want
to admit it or not, China has fallen to the Comrhunists. The best
policy seems to be to recognize this regime and try to regain the
faith of the Chinese, since the Nationalists have already proved a
wasteful cause, and the American budget cannot withstand con
tinued splurging.

Fire Hazards
Cause Concern
In a recent statement to The
Daily Collegian, Bruce Homan,
State College fire marshall,
voiced his concern over possible
fire hazards existing in local fra
ternities.
Citing the recent tragedy at
the University of Pennsylvania
where one youth was burned to
death in a fraternity fire, Ho
man said the danger would not
be so imminent if the public could
be kept fire-conscious.
Recent Safety Checks
Recalling several recent safety
checks, Homan said, "Most of
the fraternities I have inspected
were in fairly good condition.
However, many of the houses
use the dormitory system which
is rather dangerous. Fire could
start in furnace rooms, kitchens,
or in wiring and trap those men
sleeping in groups on the second
and third floors.
Quoting the state law, he de
clared, "If two apartments exist
on the second floor, or one on
the third floor, or if ten or more
people live in the building, two
exits must be available. If, in
an emergency, a perion gets Mill
ed or injured, when there is only
one exit, the owner is criminally
and financially liabel."
Safety Measure •
As a safety measure, Homan
suggested that houses delegate
a man to make inspections once
a week.
"There has never been a major
fire in the fraternity area, but it
can happen," he said. "The local
fire department has a fine inspec
tion crew," he concluded, "and it
will be glad to inspect and offer
suggestions to any house request
ing the service."
Laundry Service
Automatic washer-type service
is now available to students
through the Student Dry Clean
ing Agency, according to Oscar
T. Fleisher, manager of the a
gency
The new service will be offefed
by Marshbll's Self-Service Laun
derette. Pick up stations are in
the Jordan Hall pressing room,
McElwain Hall recreation room,
Sally's room in Atherton Hall,
302 Woman's Building, 218 Mc-
