Hillel Speakers Discuss
American Asiatic Policy
If we stop fighting now in Korea,and agree to divide the coun
try at the 38th parallel, we have no assurance that the Communists
will not once again attack the South, S. M. Vinicour, graduate sti
pend scholar in speech, told the Hillel town meeting last night. .
Subject of the discussion was: “What Should Be Our Policy in
Asia?” •
“Korea is an economic unit in
by the Yalu River,” . Vinicour
said. “We must reunite Korea and
make it a free and independent
country,” he added.
Vinicour Proposals
Among the proposals Vinicour
offered were expansion of the
use of the Voice of America in
the Orient and a continuation of
the present Formosa policy. With
drawal from Formosa would
free Chines eCommunist troops
which would then be used in
Korea, he said.
Vinicour proposed a Marshall
Plan for the Orient similar to
that in Europe now and an in
crease in Point Four aid which
provides technical assistance.
In contrast to Vinicour, a re
turn to the • former ' hands-off
policy in Formosa was advocated
by Dr. Scott Keyes, assistant pro
fessor of economics. Orientals at
tribute many of their difficulties
to intervention from the West
and such an imperialistic-seem
ing policy increases their resent
ment, he said.
Cooperation Urged
“We must elect to work with
the people of' Asia in any way
open to us, hoping to persuade
them occasionally to our point of
view, but never imposing our
will,” the economist said.
Dr. Keyes is against the use
of the 1 atom bomb in Korea for
humanitarian as well as political
reasons, since he feels use of the
bomb would end all support from
Asian peoples. He also advocates
recognition of the Chinese Com
munists in the UN.
“The United States has the
power ’to destroy or save the
world, depending on which way
it is inclined,” Sak Sena, visiting
research associate in physics from
India, said in giving his country’s
attitude toward the United States.
“It is' entirely up to the, United
States to decide its policy in Kor
ea,” he added.
Communism No Danger
Sena feels there is absolutely
no danger of communism break
ing out in his country, because
the people are satisfied with the
present government.
“The average American is very
badly informed about India,”
Sena said.. They generally accept
the attitude that the East is un
educated, he said, and has a
very low standard of living, nev
er caring to ask how it has man
aged to survive for so long.
