History Professor Gave
Scholarly Dissertation
On Present Trends In
Asia, Europe.

The Milford New Century Clut
was privileged to hear a scholarly
and well organized talk on Monday
on present trends in Asia and in
Europe by Dr.. John A. MunrOe, as.

solid historical background for the
Interpretation Of present day head
lines, these often being "a flash in
the pan" in long range importance
DR.. MunrOe spoke Of the weakened
power Of such nations as Great
Britain, France and the Neither.
lands in Asia. He took Great
Britain, for example, having freed
most Of her Eastern possessions
such as India, Pakistan and Burma.
France, while not cutting ties COM
pletely, has granted much inde.
pendence TO IndO-China and other
colonies. AS for the Netherlands.
her Eastern empires, has been
practically lost, including Java and
BOrneO. In Asia itself, said DIR
Munroe, many nations find their
present status greatly changed.
For example, Japan's power was
weakened by World War IL with
the United States taking over
largely where Japan lost out.
Russia gained in World War III
what she was unable to in the
Russo-Japanese War, and now
in practical control of China as
the U. S. in Japan. In these coun.
tries where there was the EurOD-
can withdrawal of Power has came
the liberation Of hundreds of mil.
lions of people such as India.
Paklstan, Burma, CelOn, IndOnesia
and the PHILIPPINES, which has set
up a entirely new economy. how
ever, now proving to be the Utopia
