japanese Fear U. 5.
Won't Be Able 10 Hold
Communism 10 Asia
By Reyes Beech
Foreign Correspondent Of The siur end
the Chicago Dolly News

the Chicago Daily News
TOKYO, Japan, Dec. 17.-If Asia
goes Communist can Japan escape
the Russian orbit?
This question has taken on new
significance for the Japanese with
the rise Of Communist prestige
throughout the Orient as a result OF
the Red victories in China.
1t is given added point by the
prospect that the Communists will
take over all Korea If American
troops complete their present with
drawal from South Korea.
Many Japanese take the view that
if the United States is not able to
save China from the Communists 1t
may not be able to save Japan.
These fears are voiced by the
English-language Nippon Times
which editorially implies doubt OF
American ability to hold Japan rs an
anti-Communist outpost If the Reds
should win control of Chinas gov
ernment.
The possibility Of Communist
coalition government in China is an
alarming prospect" which may
mean 'life or death to close neigh
Dor like Japan" the Times says.
| A survey of Japanese-language
press comment on the China situa-
ton shows remarkable absence of
anti Communist sentiment. This is
in sharp contrast to the editorial
temper of a few months ago prior
to the collapse of the Chinese
Nationalists.
Experts from Gen. MacArthur's
headquarters are now in Washing
ton conferring with Army, Navy and
State Department. officials on plans
to build up Japan as an anti Com
munist force.
These plans are likely to take the
form of bigger and better appropria-
tions for japanese recovery.
1t seems obvious to this reporter
that Japan can sbe saved from the
Communist sphere only at enormous
cost to the American taxpayer in
the form of economic subsidies and
Indefinitely prolonged occupation.
Japan's natural markets lie In
China and Southeast Asia. And
Evening star., 1948-12-17

Asia has an abundance of every
thing Japan lacks In raw materials.
With those markets and resources
in hostile hands, Japan must rely
on continued American support.
Optimists argue that the Chinese
Communists will have to do business
with Japan because China needs
Japanese products. But the Chinese
Communists have existed for years
on agrarian economy and there is
no reason to believe that they can
not continue to do so If they wish.

DIR. ROBERT A. MILLIKAN,
one of the worlds most distin-
guished scientists and Nobel
prize winner, has referred to cur
rent proposals for federal aid to
education as "another of those
efforts to clear out the cock
reaches by burning the house
down." That is right. More fed
eral aid might bring increased
teachers salaries, which all of us
want. But I stand in constant
amazement that so many folks in
the education profession are hliz2d
to the trenaeHdeSS aagBgG9 y
federal aid.
Not to be outdone by those
clamoring for money to be routed
via Washington for the public
schools, college and university
administrators recently climbed
on the bandwagon and put in for
their share. At a major confer
ence of higher education in Chi
cago, DR.. Alonzo Myers of New
York University proposed
catch-all program that would call
for expenditures dwarfng those
in public school bills now in Con-
gress.
Ask For AMONG other
Your Part things, this program
would set up an
"Fducational Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation" AS a govern
ment project, this bureau would
no doubt take bookkeeping les
sons from RFC and IVA. Both
of these have tucked away mill
lions of wasted tax dollars. Ex-
perts have said that it will be
impossible for RFC ever to ac-
count for all of its funds. After
this ERIC, we can expect other
RIGS for any group that has
4.nough power and votes to get
the ear of Congress.

scramble, educators from several
private colleges (not sta;e-sup-
