PAGE TWO Oliver Calls Neutralism Top Far East Problem Dr. Robert T. Oliver, professor of speech and an expert on the Far East, said yesterday that “our biggest problem in the Far East is neutralism.” “Communism we know how to deal with,” he said, “but fighting neutralism is like beat ing our heads against a stonewall.” Dr. Oliver based his talk to the Faculty Luncheon Club yesterday on a summer visit to the Far East and his wide experience in the region as an adviser to Syngman Rhee, president of the Republic of Ko rea. Dr. Oliver stressed that com munism, although stiil a powerful aggressive agent, is failing in the East as a form of government He cited the hardships that; 17,000 refugees endured each| month to escape from Red China into the free city of Hong Kong.] He said that while communism was continuing unsuccessfully, a! great deal of progress is being made on the free side of the; “bamboo curtain." j South Korea, for instance, in the past few years, has instituted a growing educational system. By the summer of 1956, 91 per cent of the children between the ages of six and 12 were enrolled in public schools. Korean Democracy Entrenched Democracy in Korea, he said. Is firmly entrenched, and the peo ple and newspapers are vigorous in their exercise of it. Taiwan, he said, has made a great deal of progress under Chi ang Kai-shek, and now has a standard of living equal to that of Japan. There is, of course, no democracy in Taiwan. “Democracy is rampant in the Philippines.” said Dr. Oliver. So valid is the freedom of speech and press there, he said, that the newspapers are continually har assing the government. Philippines Progress He said that under President Magsaysay the islands have made progress in all fields. j But there is much anti-Ameri can feeling in the Philippines, Dr. Oliver said, both from the left and the right. Much of this feeling stems from fear that the Russians will bomb the islands’ in trying to get the American bases there. There is also the question of neutrality, for many see a lot of value in India's philosophy in world affairs. But President Magsaysay and much of his government is solidly behind the United States. Purpose of Religion- (Continued from page one) propaganda proposes the danger ous idea that the main purpose of religion should be to bring peace io the world. “This is not the purpose of religion," he said, “although it will be a result of ! religion." j He said the object of religion is. to worship God. It is a good thing, he said, no matter whether or not' it directly benefits society. j Fr. Weigel concluded that the' role of American churches, and: churches throughout the world, is' to be ‘‘the locus where men can' encounter God."
