B. Uq -Daily-Malcolm Shatz HOT SPOT-Prof. Russell Fifield pointed out what he terms most troublesome spot in the Southeastern Asia area-Indo-China. It was one of the lands he visited on his tour of that territory last summer. By VERNON EMERSON Two trips to the Far East in the past five years have convinced Prof. Russell Fifield that unless the United States takes an in- creasing active part in the inter- national affairs of this area it will go Communist. Just returned from an all sum- mer tour of Southeast Asia and the Philippines, the political sci- entist expressed pessimism about the situation throughout that ter- ritory. * * * PROF. FIFIELD remarked that one of the brightest spots seems to be Formosa, a land which many people had given up to the Com- munists. "When I left here last spring, I held no hope that the Chinese Nationalists would ever get off Formosa. After talking with Chiang Kai Shek I am not so sure;" he said. He, hailed the Generalissimo's reforms in his party and on For- mosa, and explained that Chiang has extensive plans for his return to the mainland. "Chiang remarked that World War III started when the Com- munists took over China. He out- lined reforms for the country af- ter his return, such as the land holding principle 'to the tiller of the soil belongs the soil'." Group from Japan To VisitCampus A Japanese Supreme Court Mis- sion brought to the United States by the Supreme Allied Command in the Pacific, will visit campus to- morrow and Tuesday. The six-member mission is studying the judicial system in this country. A roundtable discussion program on campus has been plan- nedfor the mission by Prof. Hes- sel E. Yntema, of the Law School. Cain To Lecture An open meeting of Phi Sigma, honorary biological fraternity, will.hear Prof. Stanley A. Cain, of the School of Natural Resources, speak on "Ireland: Her Lands and Peoples" at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Rackham Amphitheatre. All in all, Prof. Fifield termed Formosa one of the quietest spots in the Far East, and described Chiang as a strong, dynamic per- sonality who may yet return to China, "where in many places he would be welcome." THE TRIP took the foreign af- fairs expert through the South- eastern corner of Asia, where he met with leaders of Indo-China, Malaya, India, Korea, Indonesia, Siam, and the Philippines. "The hottest spot in the area is Indo-China where there is danger that Communist Chinese aid to indo-Chinese rebels may return the land into another Ko- rea." He pointed out that the Com- munist leader, Ho Chi Minh, has captured the strong Indo-Chinese feeling of nationalism. Ho is capi- talizing on the native drive to over- throw all domination by the French, Prof. Fifield explained. "Unless the French give these people more freedom in the French Union, there is no chance that an Indo-Chinese leader favorable to the French will take over," he said. HE DECLARED that more aid from the United States is needed to get the French out of their present military dilemma in In- do-China, warning that if the French leave, the whole key region would be taken over by Commu- nist forces. As for the Philippines, where Prof. Fifield spent most of this summer, he noted that the Qui- rino government is not in full favor with the people. "This is why the government has not been able to crush the Communist groups who have cash- ed in on agrarian unrest in the islands." Prof. Fifield said that unless this country puts the nearly bankrupt Philippine economy back on a sta- ble basis, President Qirino may lose his office to the Communists. . * * HE NOTED that the stipulation that American experts be allowed to aid in cleaning up the economic chaos in the Philippines would not be resented. "Only in the Philip- pines will the Americans find a people so friendly to them." /, h'' jI Li tt he \:eck 7in {i ehoe o th s}evs "" v* (7 ac44/t h u 4:: k.
