KU China Specialist Lobbies for Trade
By RANDY ATTWOOD Kansan Writer
Robert Burton, China specialist and director of Eastern Civilization at the University of Kansas, recently returned from Washington, D.C., where he spent five months as executive secretary for a job group called the Citizens to Change U.S.-China Policy.
That group, following President Nixon's China visit, found most of the Chinese embassy in Beijing but As Burton said, "One thing the administration didn't do was to carry on a public relations campaign on Capitol Hill."

The President's announcement that he would visit Peking was a surprise to many congressmen.
weren't accustomed to thinking about China policy from the standpoint of their own constituent interests," Burton said.
"An awful lot of representatives and senators said they
"And that was amazingly easy to do." he said.

To senators Dole and Pearson from Kansas he pointed out that China buys a lot of wheat. Other sales to China were also a factor.
"The Chinese Communists now on now and then, and carried out the war with now and then, that they might be interested in buying Boeing planes so that they have to come back to Japan. So you won't Wichita with a high unimpolyproportional team with Boeing, this was another reason why you were not interested in condensing the possibility of better relations with Boeing."
"THERE IS ALSO a possible market for cotton sales to China." Burton said, "and some of the extremely conservative textile states" senators and representatives expressed an interest in knowing how they should relate to a change in China policy.
Burton learned Chinese in Peking when he knew there in Beijing to work for UPI before the Communist victory at which time he went to Hong Kong and then to the University of Universities Field Staff. In 1982 he came to the University of Western Civilization program.
While in Hong Kong Burton met Chang Kuo-Tao, one of the founders of the Chinese Community in China. He also moved to Mao Tse-tung to remove
before he took total control of the party. Burton helped convince Chang to write his autobiography as translator and final draftman. The second and final volume will be released by John Langley, director of this year and has been described by John Langley, director of the significant book they've published.
"They were very Chinese. You're wearing skirts. I ask you you're in the face and you'll make small conversation with you as long as you want, but you have to be very quiet."
BURTON LAUGHS when he says that this is not the best year for him. He may be one reason why his visa request to visit Communist China has not been approved despite the European embsyment in Canada.

Bucharest but on in publication,

He said, "I favor people who live in a background in China and are home with the language whose brains I can pick if I know them."
A personal friend of Burton, Yang Cheng-ming, a 1957 Nobel prize winning physicist who is now a nationalized American, recently returned to his homeland in China where he was an unlicensed five hour meeting with Premier Choi Enlai.
This summer the University of Kansas received the Alumni Association Award for Comprehensive Exhibition by a builder for an alumni program.
Alumni Association Earns Recognition
IT HAD BEEN 25 years since IT had left China and when he returned he was impressed with the progress China has made, as have been all those who knew China before the war, Burton said.
Kansas is the only Big Eight school to receive the award in seven years of competition.
Conference in St. Louis.
The award, given for excellence in programming in student-alumni relations, was presented by the American Alumni Association by the American Alumni Council of Washington, D.C. May 21 at an event organized by the American Alumni Association was presented again July 3 at the American Alumni Association
Dick Wintermater, executive director of the association, said that a number of dedicated work on the part of more than 20 staff members of the association and the loyalty of alumni due-to paying alumni members."
Other universities cited for excellence in 1972 were Louisiana State University and Miami University of Ohio.
The country is functioning and it is debt free. The physicist also learned that China is doing no research that has immediate practical applications. China has an extreme fear of the Soviet Union and has literally thrown the country with bomb shelters.
The son of a Chinese warlord, another friend of Burton, recently visited his father's tomb and gave equivalence to our Arlington monastery, of those tombs had been desecrated by the Red Guard during the cultural revolution, but the tomb of the father was intact. The warlord father had been an enemy of Chiang Kai-shek.
said, “and immediately, as though they were waiting for him to ask the question, said they the tombs) were in excellent shape. Why don't you go down and visit Tahani? Why don't you visit Tahani.”
"So, this guy asked about the tombs of Chiang Kai-shek's family in central China," Burton
**THAT BIT of information couples with the fact that Chiang Ching Kuo, the son of Chiang Kai-shek, in his memoirs condemns, in the book *The Manuscript* a minister clique. Chiang Kuo Kung most likely the next president of Taiwan when his father dies, never condemnals any Chinese Communist that Mao Tse-tung does not condemn. Burton takes to reading the memoirs as a peaceful solution to the Taiwan problem can be found.
Burton said, "You can sympathize with the Taiwanese, but if you want to stay in an independent Taiwan movement, it seems to me that we would just be shoring up a new nation." The source of war in the Far East.
"Morally the Taiwanese should be wept for. But having she my team can resolve the issues to stave off the possibilities of conflicts that might erupt."
"I THINK that Vietnam has indicated to us that there are certain ways we can call a tune the way we think the tune ought to be called. There are ways, short of military ways, going to the balance of power."
China hasn't found a final form yet, and it may never find a final form, Burton said.
Burton said that balance
expended upon what China does
"What's true today isn't necessarily true tomorrow. There are indications that the leadership is committed to the idea that it has the most useful political and economic system for it, but particularly for the underdeveloped countries," he said.
The model that China has followed was found through social experiment. Burton said.
"I don't see how you can call a lot of the stuff that goes on there as anything but social interaction and permanent breathingakingly with people, sometimes to the disadvantage of the people. At the same time there are times when it does not case even then it was two years ago."
"They are not a strong country, they've got all sorts of problems. They've got about being at the front wave of history than they were two years ago." Burton said. The United States has changed to a certain extent.
MAKING DO WITH what's available until such time that better is available is what the team has concentrated on, Burton said.
"It's the same old business of thinking that international law is our law applied to the world," he said.
Burton said.
He said that when the United States went through the air raid panic in the 1950s it failed to honeycomb America with shelters because it would have required too much costly steel, nests were nailed down used manpower and weapons, Burton said.
"Where China cannot meet its needs for fully trained doctors it fills the gap with a barefoot doctor program which takes care of the less serious medical needs of the people, much the same as in the United States. The Amman trained medics to supplement their staffs," Burton said.
"China is a human intensive economy, he said. 'That's not only because of the fact that we have concentrated too much on building up their capital goods have been hitting a terrible hole in China.' Mexico and India, for example.
"I don't know which is better; accepting a period or pretending it was pretty rough on people, or pre-empting the employment, whether it wants to be."
BURTON SAID the discipline exacted in Communist China
may not be everyone's dish of tea.
"Maybe this is what's necessary to shape China up at the present time. There is a lot for Chinese to be proud of; it is possible to make it the most desirable place in the world to live in," he said.
He said American television cameras in Peking showed the regimentation of the Communist Chinese grade scholar.
"Those kids are very, very
those." The girl said of the
of this indoctrination raises the
hair on the back of your neck
you "an american," Burton
He said he could remember every day the Soviet Union. Some people were in despair, and thought Stalin completely controlled
"You hit some of the same attitudes about schools in China. In fact, if we've learned anything by watching the Soviet Union, it is that these kids grew up and lived their things in spite of the indoctrination—that there is a thing called human nature," Burton said.
Watson Library honors Carrie M. Watson, a member of the class of 1872. She was assistant librarian from 1887 to 1921.
The original building was completed in 1924. There were additions in 1850 and 1964.
Voter Registration Encouraged at Allen
For the first time, students who have not registered to vote can do so during enrollment at Allen Field House. Registration tables have been set up along the exit ramp from station 10, the final check out station.
Student Vote, a campus organization, initiated the plan to establish a voter registration site at KU, Mark Bedner, Lawrence special student and co-chairman of Student Vote said Tuesday.
Matthia deputized Beidner and Student Vote co-chairman, Dan Conyers, and made them responsible for handling the data.
County clerk, Delbert Matthia, approved the plan in order to make registration as convenient as possible for students, Bristol.
"Our goal is to get people to register, to educate them about candidates and issues and then to get them out to
The establishment of voter registration sites at enrollment marks one of the first times in which the Lawrence community and the University have worked together on a political issue. Bedner said.
Student Vote did sponsor a voter registration week on campus last spring in conjunction with city voter registration.
"We are interested in getting people politically involved rather than in pushing a particular person or point of view," he said.
Registration for city voters for the Sept. 19 special election will end Aug. 29, the Office of the County Clerk said Tuesday.
