Doubts that the Communists will be able to remain in China for a long period of time were expressed by Dr. Orient Lee, Chinese historian, in a speech before members of the University club Wednesday evening.
Lee Tells Of Red' Worries
Dr. Lee listed too large a population of civilians and soldiers as one of the factors which led to the downfall of the Nationalists and which will do the same to the Communists. He also believes that the Communists have made a great mistake in not employing the aid of the Nationalistic bureaucrats remaining in the country. Economically, he believes inflation has reached the same high level now as immediately after World War II.
while Dr. Lee thinks that if the people of China again sympathize with the Nationalists and Chiank-Kai-Shek, they may be able to overcome the Reds, he also believes that Chiang should forget about the mainland and concentrate on Formosa.
At present Formosa is increasing its exports and has more available jobs than there are laborers. The country is rapidly becoming industrialized and the people have many modern conveniences.
Dr. Lee, who at present is a visiting professor at the University of Kansas City, said that too often historians are questioned about the future rather than the past. "We know too little about the past to know the future," he said.
"The Communists have the same problems faced by the Chinese Nationalists," he said. Dr. Lee was introduced by Prof. William Simpson, social chairman of the club.

Fluorescent Minerals Glow In Display
