SINCE 1936 ideologies prevent lasting bridge Sino-U.S. alliance 'unthinkable' By MARK GREEN Daily Collegian Staff Writer The United States is on the verge of selling military technology to the People’s Republic of China, but the relationship between the two is not an alliance, said a State Department representative. “1 would describe the relationship between us and China as consultative, not as an alliance,” Charles Freeman, director of Chinese Affairs, said. “We never contemplated an alliance with China. It’s unthinkable.” • However, he said, present relations could proceed even to the point of entente, which Freeman defined as an understanding between nations concerning their policies towards Third World nations. Freeman said his reasons against a Sino-American alliance are two-fold. First, there is too big a difference between the two countries’ ideologies for a long-term alliance ever to be considered, he said. The second reason, Freeman said, is that it would de mand too much of a new security responsibility for the United States to take part in defending China’s exten-, Ag Hill Festival starts tonight in By.

Dickerson and the late Paul H. Margolf. It was designed to bridge the gap bet ween faculty, staff members and students within the College of Agriculture. Today’s program has the same motive, although the surroundings have changed over the years. • Festival chairman James Monte spoke with retired Prof. Frank Anthony and Robert Swope, assistant dean for resident education, to find out the history of the festival.

Freeman said this does not include weapons as such, but rather military accessories such as radar, trucks and Communications equipment. Since that time, 35 licenses have been issued to com panies which allows them to discuss sales with the Chinese but not to actually complete the sales. Earlier this year, the Department of Commerce took China out from under the export control regulations by which Russia arid other nations under the Warsaw Tract are restricted. A new classification was invented which allows the Commerce Department to develop an independent export policy for China, he said. The change of status allows the export of military technology to China without the stipulation that China prove the technology will be used only for civilian pur poses, as it formerly had been, Freeman said. “Russia has an absolutely overwhelming military advantage over China,” Freeman said, “but over time that superiority will erode.” ■A }§ — <2l\ 2l Illustration by Michael Walters the HUB color slide presentation of students and faculty involved in college events, bingo and square dancing called by members of the Campus 4-H Club.
