Far East Problems
‘Complex’: Harrison
The problems of the Far East
are deep and complex. We should
try to understand them, Brian
Harrison, professor of history at
the University of Hong Kong told
about 100 people at the Great
Issues Series held last night in the
Memorial Student Center.
“The problem facing these coun
tries,” Harrison said, “is welding
the many different groups in a
country together.”
Speaking on the “Far Eastern
Problems of Today” Harrison said
one of the big problems was the
large minorities in these countries.
“These minorities are largely
Chinese,” he said. “They have left
their homeland, but they still seem
to think that the Motherland can
do no wrong.”
Communism in China has act
ually helped other countries of this
area. Many Chinese minorities have
turned their loyalties from China
to their adopted country because of
it.
Japan was once in a position of
leadership in the Far East, but
now the models for government
are India and China. India is
representing the democratic form
of government and China, the
Communistic, he said.
“The countries of Asia want to
be equal to the United States as
individual nations,” he said, not
in power or size, but in the same
way adolescents want to be im
portant—for themselves.”
Nationalism is a very prevalent
spirit in these countries, he con
tinued. This was the spirit behind
the revolution in China, and the
spirit that has influenced all
Asian nations from Turkey to
Japan.
Harrison is touring the United
States on a Fulbright Travel
Award. He is going to San
Francisco where he will embark for
Hong Kong in March.
Justice Tom C. Clark of the U.
S. Supreme Court will be the next
Great Issues speaker, March 20.

Ag Eco Prof
Gets Award
From CROP
Dr. Daniel Russell of the
Department of Agricultural
Economics and Rural Sociol
ogy has received a token of
appreciation for 10 - years
work in carrying out a world wide
program of aid to needy people in
foreign countries.
Serving as chairman of the Tex
as part of Christian Rural Over
seas Pi’ogram from 1949 to 1954
and honorary chairman in 1955 and
1956, his work consisted of or
ganizing and assisting the program
in Texas counties.
CROP is a joint program of
churches, farm organizations and
farm people to collect food, fiber,
livestock and seed and see that it
gets in the hands of people in de
pressed countries. After the sup
plies get overseas, churches take
over the distribution to rural peo
ple.
The token Dr. Russell received is
an 8 by 10-inch bronze plaque. It
reads in part “. . . with deep appre
ciation to Dr. Daniel Russell for
dedicated leadership in the Texas
Rural Overseas Program.”
As part of his contribution to
the program, Dr. Russell accom
panied a shipment of dairy cattle
to Germany in 1953. Included in
his other travels was a 1954 trip
to Haiti.
He is presently senior advisor
of the Texas program.
Board Okays Steps
For More Pines
A&M’s Board of Directors Sat
urday approved steps expected to
double production of pine seedlings
by the Texas Forest Service.
The board confirmed a contract
awarded prior to the meeting for
a temporary irrigation system at
the new TFS Nursery at Magnolia
Springs, 12 miles west of Kirby-
ville.
The irrigation, with 30-acre ca
pacity, will water about 20 million
seedlings and eventually be exten
ded to 50 million seedlings an
nually.
The additional seedling pi'oduc-
tion is aimed at partially taking
the slack out of high seedling de
mand due to rapid growth of for
est industries, soil bank plantings
and commercial timber production.

I Understand He Owns A
National College Life Contract
No one could understand how Glotz The Undesirable One found favor with so many women.
Admittedly he lacked those physical traits which ordinarily attract the weaker sex,
but still his name was legend in the girl’s dorms and sorority houses.
Glotz however, was not selfish. One day he made his secret known. “You see,” he said
grinning modestly, “X own a National College Life Contract; therefore my economic future
is secure and the girls know it . . .
Take note of his words, friends. They are wisely spoken.
