Seat Chinese, Speaker Urges
Forty International Relations clubs in the Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska district are expected to send delegates to the convention. There are 63 clubs in the district.
The United States should recognize the People's government in China and let them be seated in the United Nations, Dr. Lucius Porter told an audience in Strong hall auditorium Tuesday.
"The Chinese feel that we are trying to force them into accepting Chiang Kai-Shek, a leader that they do not want. If we could look at this new government as the Chinese do, we would say that the new government is a good thing for the Chinese people."
Bv BILL DICKINSON
While communism is a mistake in Europe, it has beneficial effects in China, said Dr. Porter, who lived in China 41 years. The Chinese are undergoing a revolution and Mao's government is simply a phase, and the best government China has had in a long time, he said.
Dr. Porter, who is professor emeritus of Yenching university at Peiping, said that reports he has received from China indicate that the Communist government is not interfering with the activities and teachings of the 13 Christian universities in China. "The Chinese do not take such a dismal view as the editors of Time magazine," said Dr. Porter.
Dr. Porter thinks the present government is a representative one and capable of thinking and acting for itself.

Jack Pickering, College freshman,
did a surprisingly good job of Welsh
characterization as the husband. Vernie Theden. College freshman, was more tragic at times than comic as his wife but got into comedy as the play progressed.
