Communists on the Move
Red Pressure Mounts in Asia
By Leroy Hansen United Press International
TOKYO — (UPI) — Communist pressure — military, economic and political — is being brought to bear on almost all of Asia with the aim of eventually making it a Red continent.
Most of the pressure comes from Red China as the Communists work to spread their ideology from the rice fields of Korea, through the jungles of Laos, to the towering Himalayas.
THE RED CHINESE efforts have not been directed solely at non-Communist nations. In North Korea, long considered firmly Russian-oriented, the Peiping regime is attempting to bring the Pyongyang government into its sphere of influence by offering loans, technical aid and expanded trade.
Red China also would like to see North Viet Nam, another Communist nation in Asia, brought more firmly into its orbit.
in the Republic of Korea, the staunchly anti-Communist country still technically at war with the Communists, there are signs that the Communist propaganda campaign may make some inroads because of South Korean economic instability.
THE NORTH KOREAN Communists, with the obvious blessing of Red China and Russia, have stepped up their campaign for "unification" of the divided peninsula — on the Communists' terms.
Japan also is feeling Red China pressure and it is likely to increase in the months to come. The Japanese Socialist Party, intellectual groups and many businessmen have urged Premier Hayato Ikeda to forge close ties with Red China, if not outright diplomatic recognition.
The National Chinese government on Formosa faces the Red Chinese across the Taiwan strait.
McCollum to Travel In Russia This Summer
William B. McCollum, Leavenworth junior, will represent KU in the YMCA-YWCA student exchange program to Russia this summer.
The 24 students in this program will spend over a month in the Soviet Union traveling with trained leaders, one of whom will be William A. Overholt, executive of the Boston University Student Christian Association.
Expenses will be approximately $1,400, plus the cost of passports, visas, and travel to and from this country.
McCollum is the second KU student to participate in this program. Last year, Ken Megill, Vassar senior, was the KU representative in this program. While in Russia, Megill lived in a student sports camp in the Ukraine.
Megill and McCollum were appointed by the KU-Y as chairmen of a committee to investigate the possibility of KU being host to Russian exchange students. In January the ban on Russian citizens visiting Lawrence was lifted. It is believed that a group of Soviet students will visit KU sometime in April or May.
The purpose of the exchange is to point out that part of Christian responsibility is participation in world affairs; to develop the program and leadership of the Y; to stimulate study of the Soviet Union; to share convictions on a person-to-person basis, and to gain an interpretation of our society.
The delegation will visit a sports camp, universities, meet students and workers in Soviet cities and make brief stops in other European countries.
There will be an orientation program in New York City before the trip begins and the group will return early in September after nearly 2 months abroad.
Selection of the students is based upon the following considerations: language facility, experience, understanding and conviction in the purpose in the Y movement, emotional maturity, ability to work within groups, and political interest in American and international affairs.
THE COMMUNISTS are known to have supplied arms and ammunition to the Pathet Lao rebels in strifetorn Laos. The South Viet Nam government is engaged in almost daily warfare against Communist guerillas in the jungles.
In addition to sponsoring delegations to the Soviet Union each year since 1958, the National Student Councils of the Y have helped plan the activities of delegations of Russian youth organizations to the United States.
Burma has settled its border troubles with Communist China and the two nations are on friendly terms for the time being. But the Burmese can never ignore their giant neighbor.
The KuKu's, upperclassmen pep club, recently elected officers for the spring semester.
Men's Pep Club Selects Officers
They are: Ron Halgbewachs, Glen Elder junior, president; Bill Gurwell, Kansas City senior, executive vice president; Lonnie Nagels, Topeka junior, secretary, and Jim Hearson, Shawnee Mission senior, treasurer.
Cambodia also has been on friendly terms with Peiping. But the civil war in neighboring Laos told Cambodia's Prince Norodom Sihanouk plainly what could happen to his country.
Gary Albertson, junior, and Gary Anderson, senior, both of Overland Park, were elected vice president in charge of card section and pledge trainer, respectively.
Tiny Nepal has its border troubles with Red China as does giant India. The Indian government charged this month that the Communists hold 12,000 square miles of Indian-claimed territory. Attempts to work out a border agreement have failed.
HONG KONG, perched on the edge of Communist China and crowded with Chinese refugees, is particularly vulnerable. Political pressure is not great however, because the Communists know they could take Hong Kong almost any time they wanted.
The Chinese Reds, however, have attacked Hong Kong on the economic front, cutting into some of the British Crown Colony's markets with cheaper goods. The water-short colony also is now dependent on Red China for a good share of its water supply.
The Philippines still has Communist Huk Guerrillas operating in the jungles and a large Chinese population. Singapore and Malaya also have large Chinese colonies which conceivably could cause trouble, particularly in Singapore.
ANTI-COMMUNIST Thailand is plagued by occasional Communist or Red-supported terrorist activities that have forced the government to increase its watch along the border and provincial areas.
Indonesia, has one of the largest Communist parties in Asia outside Red China which once attempted to take over the nation in national elections. President Sukarno's ban on political parties and the enmity of the army have served to keep the Indonesia Communists down, but they remain a distinct threat.
