NUMBER 33
ARMISTICE FAILURE
■ Dictators Blamed
( On Middle Class
'l« most people, the armistice
of 1918 meant a happy ending to
the fear and strife of war, but it
was the beginning of another great
struggle,” Louis de Guiringaud,
1 onsul General of France in Han
Francisco, said Tuesday.
Addressing an audience of about
MX) people on the topic ”Armi
'•tiee Day 19.r)2 A French Consul’s
\iew." blamed the bourgeois class
for failing to meet the needs of the
People after World War I and thus
paving the way for the rise of the
Kuropean dictators.
The armistice ending World War
If again raised the people's hopes

and better world but “once again
our hopes have been deceived and
even more quickly than in 1918,”
the consul slated.
He continued by saying that the
war was barely over when our war
.illy, Russia, became our adversary.
Alan in Russia today is an instru
ment of the party, a slave of the
state and has been forced to sur
render dignity and personal free
dom not only in Russia but in the
satellite countries as well, Guirin
gaud claimed.
Nearly 700.000,000 people are
under the domination of Russia,
i which controls the largest empire
in history, Guiringaud said.
In the face of this huge force, it
is important and re-comforting to
j see our reactions are not in vain.
The Marshall Plan, the air lift in
1948 and the Atlantic Pact have all
been instrumental in stopping the
advance of Communism in Europe,
Guiringaud believes. But, while the
free world was concentrating on
Europe, the "hot” war broke out
in the East, in Korea, he stated.
Guiringaud pointed out that Ko
rea is not the only place in Europe
where people are fighting against
Communism. The French are fight
ing in Indo-China and the British
in Malaya are also fighting.
He emphasized the fact that the
.French are not fighting a colonial
war in Indo-China, but that the
people there are free. They are
members of the French Union, but
they have their own governments.
He added that except for United
j States financial help, France has
■ fought alone in Southeast Asia.
Armistice day commemorates
great sacrifices and great hopes,
but again we are facing tyranny
and war, Guiringaud said. But, he
stressed, these sacrifices have not
been in vain. We are still free men
able to face tyranny and resist
slavery and believe in democracy,
he said.

Tennessee Williams Is

Prof May be Deported, Says Law
lly Barbara Boushcy
Emerald Reporter
“If you happened to be in Pei
ping, the ancient capital of China,
you could not have failed to notice
a fine University in the south
western suburbs,’’ Shu-Ching Lee
began as he told the story that led
to the present threat of his depor
tation.
Lee, who received notice last
week from the immigration au
thorities that he may be deported
to his native Manchuria, was sit
ting behind the desk in his office in
Commonwealth. He seemed pleased
to tell of his alma mater.
“It is one of the finest Chinese
universities,” he continued remin
escently, “comparable to any
American university in academic
and physical environment.” It is
called the Tsing Hua university, he
said, where he graduated in 1935.
One of his classmates, Laura, was
later to become his wife.
Border Education
Shortly after his graduation Lee
went to the University of Wiscon
sin where he took his master's de
gree in 1938. When he returned to
China the Japanese had occupied
Peiping. The Tsing Hua university,
along with two other universities,
had moved to Ku-ming, near the
Burma border, where they formed
the National South-East Associa
tion university.
“This refugee university was
founded by the Boxer Revolution
Indemnity fund from this coun
try,” Lee said. “I was on the staff
of the sociology department at this
university for five years."
“Then in Sept, of 1941 I received
a telegram signed by Edward Stet
tinius, then Secretary of State.”
The University of Maryland,
through the state department, was
inviting him to come to this coun
try to work on the China Atlas, a
joint project between the Univer
sity and the department of agricul
ture. Lee was in charge of the re
search on land tenure and land
utilization.
Classmat e Follows
Lee came to the United States
in 1945 shortly after Japan sur
rendered. Laura, his old class mate,
came a year later and they were
married. He completed his research
on the China Atlas in 1947.
“I was anxious to return to my
own country where I had a per
manent teaching position at the
Tsing Hua university which had
moved back to the Peiping cam
pus," Lee said, “but, as you know,
civil war broke out and the situa
tion was so bad. Under the encour
agement of the faculty members of
the University of Chicago, Dr. Og
burn and others, I resumed my at
tendance of the university, work
ing toward a Ph. D. in sociology.''
Case Approved
“In 1919 after the birth of our
daughter, Sandra, on the grounds
of her citizenship we could apply
for suspension of deportation.”
Lee explained that this amounts to
permanent residence.
"We went through all the pro
ceedings at tl,ie immigration and
naturaliaztion office ... in Au
gust of 1951 we received notice
from the immigration office that
our case was approved and refer

"Moonlake Casino” is used re
peatedly in the Tennesse Williams
play's for its emotional effect. ’
The place has a strong connection
with Williams and is thought to
exist in reality near the play
wright's home in Mississippi, Rob
inson said.
, It is a “haunting theme” which
| reoccurs and intensifies in such
; plays as “Streetcar Named De
| sire,” “Summer and Smoke,” “Por
trait of a Madonna” and the “Glasr
| Menagerie.” It is a constant factor
! in most of his plays; it always
i means the same thing, and has the
I same mood and flavor, Robinson
I said.
The “Casino’ theme rarely be
; comes central in the play, he said,
but it becomes strongly secondary
| as many of the characters “strong
I motivations originate there.'’
Robinson believes Tennesse Wil
liams is probably the greatest
: young playwright on the scene to
day, with the exception of Arthur
| Miller. He said Williams’ subject
matter may be a little too raw for
the reader at times, hut of the two
! he thinks Williams is the moot
I sensitive writer.
The speaker is director of the
University Theater and active in
the Very Little Theater in Eugene.
Marvin A. Krenk. former in
structor of speech, will conduct a
discussion period following the.
talk. Krenk is the author of
“Rhythmania,” a play present -1
by the Eugene Very Little Theater
this summer.
