HATE MAY DISRUPT POST-WAR ORIENT

"Japan's inferiority complex clashing with China's contempt for her will be the most hopeless problem to solve in a post-war Far East," said Dr. Edwin O. Reischauer, professor of Far Eastern Languages, at the second symposium of the Council on Post-War Problems last night.

Broadcasting from Winthrop House Common Room, the Council presented Ward S. Howe, recently returned from 15 years of consular service in China; Arthur N. Holcombe '06, professor of Government; and Dr. Reischauer in a discussion of "Our War Aims in the Far East."

China Dominates for Centuries

The inferior feeling of Nippon is a result of centuries of a Chinese cultural dominance, which will be increased by an Allied victory, explained Dr. Reischauer.

To show the methods Japan has used in trying to escape this domination, Professor Holcombe declared that the democratic nations have found nothing yet as effective as the "positive policy" of the Nipponese military clique, who are trying to create an empire controlling one-third of the peoples of the world.

Japan May Lose Power

As a result of the war, however, now strong Japan will be replaced by a stronger China, said Mr. Howe. Becoming organized for the first time in centuries, it should control Far Eastern trade and may cause trouble if not carefully handled.

"China and Japan must not be directly controlled after the war," said Professor Holcombe. "We must modify our aims by recognizing the Oriental point of view and allowing friendly liberal governments to develop there by themselves.
