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." I
