ALUMNI CLUB DIRECTORYSo many of our University of Chicago Clubs have not beenreactivated since W orId War II (how high do we go with theseRoman numerals!) that the following list of club officers maynot be complete or completely accurate.

Novel ProgramThe latest Chicago Club to come up witha brand new idea in club programs isSeattle. Dick Read, 43, JD '48, secretary­treasurer writes: "The third week in Janu­ary we plan to have a Great Books dem­onstration. It is our thought to haveapproximately 20 participants from one ofthe Great Books groups in Seattle conducta model discussion on one of the Books,more than likely Thucydides' 'History ofthe Peloponnesian War.'''Is there a Great Books program in yourcity?

As thewindup speaker, Justice Black was in ex­tra good form: some members of the audi­ence talked about "a second Will Rogers."He poked fun at the urbane oratory ofStevenson and Levi. Neither of them knewhow to give an address, he charged, to thedelight of the assembled lawyers.In a more serious mood he secondedStevenson's plea for "men and women' whocan reason without being moved by preju-Levi, Black and Stevenson1dice, anger and hatred," and went on topraise Chancellor Hutchins for his con­tributions to the field of education. Heclosed his speech by sayiing; "A lawyercannot lead a life of ease but a life of ac­tion. The legal profession, grand in pur­pose, dedicated to liberty, can play its partby contributing to history. The lawyer whoplays his part can lie down at last to pleas­ant dreams."The eyes have itThe Alumni Club of the University'SDepartment of Ophthalmology held itssecond annual meeting during the fallsessions of the American Academy of Oph­thamology in Chicago.

This is fundamentally a con­flict between materialism and moral­spiritual values.The excerpts you, printed from Mr.T. S. Eliot also made me appreciate hispoetry and plays all the more. Addition­ally, I liked the article by Mr. McCown,whose theses rather fitted in with that ofMr. Grace: "I see a marked correspondencebetween' cultural and social change and ourown passage into adolescence and our un­certain steps forward into adulthood." I hope soon, as well', to read an articleor book by my good Chicago friend, CharlesE. Merriam.In short, thank you for the issue.Maud L.'

But a University team is working on anintelligence gauge which will be "culture-fair"THOUGH MANY ADULTS mayhave escaped taking an intelli­:�ence test, today most of America's. 0 million children of elementaryschool age have not. .In many cities, and in both privateand public schools, every child is�ested not once but several times dur­ti�g his first eight years in school.:.rpon- the basis of his scores on eitherttelligence or reading tests, he may,,;e placed in a so-called "fast" or,,�low" section, or even be sent to afast" or "slow" school.. If assigned to the latter, he usually;g'(Oes to an antiquated, overcrowdedsehool and is supplied with inferioreqUipment. He is early directed intoa curricula of inferior status, whichcan only lead him vocationally intotn:anuaf work, the "trades" or clerking.the Powerful IQ TestThus the IQ test wields great pow­�r in deciding educational opportun­!ety for a child in the United States.�o;eover, it often helps make criticaleClsions for such public agencies asthe Juvenile Courts. The Veterans'�dministration leans heavily on intel­J,gence tests in vocational counseling.he Army gave IQ tests to millionsof men inducted in World War II,and is repeating the procedure now.An intelligence test, it is claimed,can measure real "mental ability." IfWe grant that present tests are accu­:ate we must then accept their find­Ings-that rural children, on theaV:rage, are definitely inferior to citychIldren in intelligence; that whiteChildren in the south are less intelli­gent than white children in the north;that youngsters from the lower socio­economic levels in any American cityrank about eight to 10 IQ points, onthe average, below those from upper-JANUARY 1951, class levels. By the time they are 13and 14, on the average, they lag be­hind by 20 to 23 IQ points!"No one," says Ernest Haggard,"would think of giving an intelligencetest standardized for American chil­dren to a child in Bali, or France orSouth Africa and expect the resultsto mean very much. No one wouldgive such a test to a child on the otherside of the ocean, but few have ac­cepted the fact that the results of suchtesting might be invalid if given toa child on the other side of the tracks .In terms of any genetic argument, onemust consider the fact that childrenfrom privileged' homes receive a rangeof experiences and acquire a range ofmotivations which prepare them moreadequately for favorable performanceon our present type of IQ tests thanis the case with lower-class children.The tests are saturated with middle­class vocabulary and language forms;the testmakers themselves are middle-Davis class people, buttressed by middle­class experiences, ways of thinking and'language forms."Measure "Genetic Superiority"?The men who make the tests, likeTerman and Otis, say these wide vari­ations can be trac�d to actual "gene­tic superiority" or "genetic inferi­ority." Yet there is no evidence fromthe science of genetics to support. theview that any socio-economic class hasgreater claim to hereditary intelli­gence than any other. All the theo­retical and mathematical solutionsarrived at by such eminent human­geneticists as Haldane, Hogben, andHuxley, show no demonstrable differ­ence between socio-economic groups.Intelligence is thought to be trans­mitted by a large number of widelyseparated genes. Chances are ex­tremely low that a child will directlyinherit the mental equipment of hisparents, for too many complex fac­tors come into play. In America,moreover, where movement of indi­viduals up and down the social-classladder is relatively rapid, it is unlikelywe can ever gather enough data toprove genetic class differences. Inwestern European culture, there hasbeen no stable stratification of geneticintelligence in terms of any given so­cial class during the last few cen­turies, because of migrations and so­cial upheavals like revolutions andwars. "Perhaps the most stable groupof all is royalty at the topmost level,"says Ernest Haggard, "but it is ex­tremely questionable that it hasdistinguished itself for intellectual­achievement. "Alfred Binet, who founded moderntests of intelligence, was keenly awareof the danger that his test problemswere too scholastic and too closely re-5lated to home training, but he did notlive to face the extremely complextask of creating new tests that wouldbe less biased. During the past 25,years, many research psychologistshave been criticizing all present IQtests, for including a strong culturalhandicap for pupils of the lower socio­economic groups. Yet despite this, inthe 35 years since Binet's last work,virtually no new types of problemshave been evolved.A Problem of Language?At the University of Chicago, weare now engaged in studying this cru­cial problem: whether the wide varia­tions in average group IQ's may notbe chiefly a function of the kinds ofproblems and language used in thetests themseloes, rather than of hered­ity. A research team, comprising Alli­son Davis, Kenneth Eells, Robert J.Havighurst, Ernest Haggard, RobertD. Hess, Walter Murray, Ralph W.Tyler and W. Lloyd Warner havebeen at work. on the project for fiveyears.Dr. Eells began by studying the rela­tive success of some 5,000 upper andlower social class school children, liv­ing in a midwestern city. They an­swered 460 problems which are nowincorporated in the 10 IQ tests mostwidely in use. In these 10 tests, therewas not a single problem on whichthe children from low occupationaland foreign background groups madesuperior scores to those of higherstatus. They managed to equal themon only 21 of the 460 problems.,. orless than five per cent. (These resultswill be found in the book, I ntelli­gence and Cultural Difference to bepublished in April by the Universityof Chicago Press). As other samplesof pupils, both white and Negro, na­tive and ethnic, were tested and re­tested, the results continued to showthe same overwhelming superiority ofthe higher occupational groups onthepresent tests.Eells found, as well, that theamount of difference between thetwo socio-economic groups varied', de­pending on which test was used. Thismade it clear that at least part of the"class ·difference" must result fromfactors in the tests themselves.What Do We Now Test?Let us state the central problem inthis way: in life as a whole, humanbeings engage in an amazing variety6 THE kUTHORSOne of the most widely re­ported. speeches at the recentMidcentury White House. Con­ference on Children and r outh,was given by Dr. Allison Daois,Professor of Education.His research on IQ tests, here­with reported, is now entering itssixth year. It has been financedby the General Education Boardof the Rockefeller Foundation,and is the, most extensive re­search yet to be made in thefield.Dr. Davis was a summa cumlaude from Williams College, re­ceived his MA from Hnruard,and his PhD from Chicago. Hisacademic honors have includedthree Rosenwald [elloioshi ps,one spent at the London Schoolof Economics, and two years ofresearch in the south, on aRockefeller grant, which resulted. in co-authorship of the uolurne,"Deep South., published by theU of C Press. In '38 and '39., heconducted a study of the person­ality deuelopments of adoles­cents, published as ((Children ofBondage" by the AmericanCouncil on Education. Still athird Davis volume, "Father ofthe M an;" deals with the so­cialization of the child, and isbased on a, study of child-rear­ing in 100 white and 100 col­ored families in Chicago.Robert Hess, PhD '50., theother half of the team which hasbeen developing the new Davis­Hess "culture-lair" IQ test, is anative Californian who was at­tracted to Chicago by the workbeing done by the Committeeon Human Development. He isnow its secretary.of mental activities. To measure thegeneral ability of one person, as com­pared to another, the testmaker mustselect types of problems which bestrepresent this great range of humanmental behavior. The evidence showsclearly that today's testmakers havenot included a wide range of mentalproblems in their tests.Rather, they pose academic prob­lems, the kind which are taught in theaverage classroom and which do notstem from real-life situations at all,but from a highly traditional, unrealis- tic middleclass school culture. 'Thetestmakers make the claim thata pupil's success or failure on such atest is a good indication of how he'will get on in school. This claim is a!l'true. Tests now in use correlate on1r,.5 (.48 for Stanford-Binet) with thesuccess of a child in school. This verymodest correlation permits us to pfe�diet practically nothing, from thetests, about a child's academic future.Task of the TestmakerIn sum, the. ..1 Q testmaker has tw@very important tasks to perform: ,1.

In the case tall present IQ tests, we have foun tthis bias is present and the cultur'a,group which is favored is the middftlclass.The Great Cultural DivideThis is no minor problem. For iOour country as a whole today, rno�ethan 60 out of 100 children live li�families belonging to lower socio-eC8'nomic groups. In elementary schools,the ratio is 70 out of 100. The rtltt'jority are native white, but miI1iot1�'more are 'Negroes or from white fof'eign-background stock. On the otbethand, 95 out of 100 teachers coOlefrorn r the middle-classes, and frorn acultural way of life markedly differeOlfrom the majority of their pupils.In the public schools of America;actually, there exists a great culturadivide.

Dr. Ralph W.TYler, a leading authority in this field,'says: "American schools and colleges'�lace primary emphasis on memoriza­hon of textbook content ... the re­quirements of the school are largely ofa verbal sort." With such a curricu­IUrn, he adds, it is not possible to teachchildren how to think or how to solvereal-life problems. The daily effort toteach these uninteresting, memorizedmaterials to children is an experiencewhich would drive most people' intorealistic worry or anxiety.The experiences symbolized in thetextbooks of the first three or fourgrades for example, are far more sim­ple than those which the child has al­ready met in his daily life. Thestories seem foolish to lower-class chil­dren because the incidents appear un­real, the words strange. To the mid­dle-class child, the drive of seeking hisParents' and teachers' approval is usu­�lIy strong enough to keep him trying,rut not strong enough to make himzke reading.TJ7 aste of Human Resources. In a larger sense, our failure todlagnose and train the mental ability�� lower-class children is not only rob­lng them, as individuals, of a chanceat full development, but constitutes a�Ia�or waste of human resources in the. nlted States, at a time when the na­tIon, industry, business and theArmed Services increasingly need ablePeople. Modern civilization by its verynature requires the, constant develop­lllent of skills and abilities far broader�han those now emphasized in school.f We do not discover more of the peo­ple who have quick minds and realnative ability, in the great reservoir ofthe lower income groups-talentswhich are now "going down thedrain" -we shall not be able to com­Pete with the vast populations ofWestern Europe and Asia.Profiling the Classes"In constructing what we call aculturally fair" intelligence test,' it is�lear we must first find out what theseOWer-class and ethnic cultures in our�OCiety are like, and our research teamfi as .made widest use of this kind of:ndmg. During the past 20 years so­Wal anthropologists led by W. Lloydarner have carried out intensivestudies of socio-economic groups incities in New England, the deepJANUARY 1951, South, 'and the Midwest. Thesestudies have shown that people recog­nize three major strata, or socialclasses in their communities, whichmay be termed upper class, middleclass and lower class. Each level hasa way of life or culture, which differsfrom the others."Culture-Fair" IQ TestTo test our hypothesis that presenttest-problems use cultural experiencesand words which are more familiar tothe higher socio-economic groups,Professor Haggard and our staff car­ried out another experiment' with 656pupils. First we gave them the stand­ard verbal tests, and then a numberof additional problems which we hadtried to make "culturally fair."On certain types of these "culture­fair" problems, such as analogies, wefound the lower groups showingmarked improvement in performance.To cite just one case ... 'In the standard IQ test there is aproblem of this kind:A symphony is to a composer, as abook is to what?( ) paper)' ( ) sculptor)' (author)' ( ) musician)' ( ) man ..On this specific problem, 81 % ofthe higher' socio-economic pupilsmarked the correct answer. Only52% of the lower group did.Our new question yielded far differ­ent results. It read:A baker goes with bread the sameway that a carpenter goes with what?( ) a saw)' ( ) a house; ( ) aspoon)' ( ) a' nail)' ( ) a man.This problem, using fair and sun- ple words like "baker," "spoon,""nail," etc., was tougher intellectuallyfor both groups and was thereforemore honest and effective in helpingspot the most able children. As amatter of fact, the proportion of cor­rect answers was the same for bothlower and upper class groups. (Youmay think that culturally this prob­lem favored the children of unskilledand semi-skilled workers, which wedefined as our lower economic group;actually it did not, for carpenters andbakers are seldom seen working orliving in slum areas.)To clinch our case-now that weknew how to remove the cultural biasfrom present test problems - wechecked our work by seeing whetherwe could deliberately make a prob­lem much harder for the lower groups,and thus "prove" they were "inferior"in intelligence. So we took a problemlike this, used in present tests:A person who by mistake hits an­other person should:( ) say that he did not ; ( ) for­get it; ( ) say nothing)' ( ) leave)( ) beg pardon .To introduce a greater verbal andcultural bias, we made it read:A child who unintentionally injuresanother child should:( ) deny it ; ( ) make amends)') flee)' ( ) be reticent; ( )ignore it.By using unfamiliar "literary" lan­guage, and making reading as well asvocabulary very important in the so­lution of the problem, we discrimi-Author Hess and some properties used in the new Davis-Hess group intelligence tests.Pupils are asked to point out the similarities between the four bottles (three are capped,have something inside, are the same color, etc.).

Accord­ingly, they came out no less than 32percentage points below the uppersocio-economic group.In this way, we showed the familiartechnique by which testmakers nowmake a problem "harder." Actually,they do nothing more than resort toobscure words and situations, picturesand experiences which are much morefamiliar to children who have grownup in middle and upper-class cultures.They measure a child's cultural andeconomic opportunities, not his realin telligence.After four years of research, weat first were inclined to accept theopinion that children from the loweroccupational groups were, on theaverage, inferior in real intelligence.F or as yet, there was not a shred ofstatistically valid evidence that, on anyrange of mental problems, the loweroccupational groups could do as well,in terms of absolute attainment, as thehigher occupational groups.Fortunately, however, we were car­rying on fieldwork while we were test­ing. We were actually observing chil­dren from both high and low occupa­tional groups at play and at work, athome, in their neighborhoods, on theplayground and in their classrooms.We encouraged them to talk about themeaning of words and various kindsof mental problems, including explor­atory, logical, arithmetical and crea­tive types. Time and again, we re­turned from our visits with them withthe vivid impression that if one dealtin mental testing with experienceswhich were, common to all occupa­tional groups of American children,and if one phrased these experiencesin words and pictures which wereequally common to the social environ­ment of all groups, we could moreclosely approximate a real scale ofintelligence.Measuring "Mother-Wit"'We were not seeking to measure"cultural opportunity," "home back­ground" or simply school perform­ance, but that ability which underlies,social and home factors. Let us callthis essentially hereditary ability "realintelligence," "innate ability," "smart­ness" or better still, "mother-wit."These experiments had made itclear that some problems of the tradi­tional, academic type, could be solved8 with equal ease by upper and lowersocial-status groups if only culturally­common words and situations wereused. But it was still necessary to findproblems which were more typical ofmental problems in life as a whole.These would relate more closely toa child's own experiences, we felt andmotivate him more strongly to try tosolve them.So we set up "experimental" indi-DEFER HIGH IQ'S?WASHINGTON (AP) - Ajury of citizens will help decidewhether bright students shouldbe deferred from the draft.Draft Director Lewis B.Hershey has called 200 citizens-representing education, labor,industry, veteran's organiza­tions, the press and radio, to ameeting . here.

We didnot try to make a "culture-free" test,since this is a human impossibility, buta "common-culture" or "culture-fair"test of intelligence. This, we hoped,could measure real genetic-develop- mental differences between individuat�; Imore truly than do present IQ tests.As indicated, we used studies made'by sociologists and social anthropokogists to find out what the culturalcharacteristics were which would jefamiliar to all groups,. and, additio"ally, personally observed and inter'viewed children from all levels, oUlt•side of school. Thus, we hoped ttlevolve problems which would re­semble the situations youngsters facein their everyday, non-academic life.The problems were constructed aC'cording to these principles:1. The materials used in the prob·. lems should be equally familiar, ofunfamiliar, to both high and loWstatus children.2. The words should be draWI'Ifrom a vocabulary common to both.3. The mental task involved shouldnot be a task likely to have been erJl'phasized or taught, in either the hoJ1leor school, to children of any partiCll'lar class.4. The problem should be intrinsi·cally motivating to children of alllevels.We were controlling, in short,rather than eliminating, cultural fac'tors in the testing.Hess assembled problems for an iI1'dividual test for pupils of six-and-a'half through nine-and-a-half years ofage. Then trained graduate studen:s,administered the test to 545 pubbcschool pupils in Chicago. The young·sters came from three broad group:"according to the occupation of thelffathers: high-status white children,whose parents were professional ofmanagerial people; low-status whitechildren, whose parents were ulYskilled or semi-skilled workers; andlow-status Negro children, whose par·ents were unskilled workers or u:11'employed.S potting Hidden TalentOn a standard IQ test, the loW'status white group scored nearly eightpoints below the high-status white;group; but on the new test, it equalledthem at each age level. The loW'status Negro group averaged 20 rQ:points below the high-status white,group on the usual IQ test. On thenew test, though they averaged soJ1le'what lower than the two white grouPs)the IQ score advantage of the high'status white group was substantiallYreduced.While minimizing cultural bias, thiS. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZIN��ew test also showed a wide range ofIndividual differences within eachgroup.George, for example, is a six year�ld Negro boy who lives with his two�Isters, three brothers and his motherIn .a smgle room of an over-crowdedtenement house, in a neglected districtof the city. His father deserted themthree years ago; his mother supports�hem. George's IQ is supposed to be9. But on the new test he scorednear the average for the high statuswhoite group of this age,f Nancy, a white child, who comeshrom . the lower brackets, lives wither father and mother near the rail-road t k' "rae s III an apartment" sosmall that she and her two sisters�ust sleep with their parents. Herather is an unskilled laborer in the�eel mills. Her IQ is 90. But on theua' HVIS- ess test, her performanceequalled that of the upper socio-eco­no .I �IC white group, whose averageQ IS 110. George and Nancy are justtwo examples of the undeveloped tal-ent Which exists in underprivilegedgroups. As we .indicated.. one of the basicaims of our new test was tomeasure mental ability, not education­al achievement. Performance of bothhigh and low-status class pupils on theexperimental test does not deny thatthe former can read or write better,on the average, than the latter, forthey are better motivated to do so. Itdoes suggest, however, that on thoseproblems with which he is equallyfamiliar, the low _ status child can.match the problem-solving ability ofthe higher status child.A Lesson for TeachersIt becomes clear that teachers mustconstantly bear in mind that theirjudgments of pupils are, to some ex­tent, based upon the child's socio-eco­nomic background, as well as upon hismental performance. A bright childis apt to be even "brighter" if hisfather is a solid citizen in the com­munity, but the intelligence of anequally bright child is apt to be under­estimated if he does not show the mid­dle-status traits of neatness, coopera­tion, docility, cleanliness, and eager­ness for school tasks. It is important for teachers to understand this ten­dency to overvalue and label as "in­telligent" certain patterns of behaviorwhich are, perhaps, completely irrele­vant to the question of mental endow­ment.An American ResponsibilityOur findings also imply a responsi­bility for keeping open the routes ofsocial mobility, to the youth of theUnited States, through education andtraining. We do not mean that theculture of high-status groups shouldbe imposed upon bright children oflow-status levels. But certainly everyreasonable effort should be made tohelp the child with talent to move intohigher economic and social levels, ifhe chooses to do so. Opportunity forsocial and economic mobility is one ofthe genuinely democratic aspects ofAmerican life; these channels must bekept open for the great numbers ofchildren who are talented but under­privileged. The free school in Amer­ica must be the democratic ladder ofthe people, the "way up" for thosewith ability and ambition.THE LOWER AND MIDDLE CLASSES"T he slum child whose own par-ents Curse as a routine method of�hmmunication, fight and considere school unimportant in their fu­ture, lives in a physical, economic and:ultural reality radically unlike that�n . which the middle-class child ist�aIned.

Heworks much harder in school becauseof insistent pressure by the familyupon him for early and rapid attain­ment. He thus pleases his middleclassteacher more than does the lowerclasschild."Youngsters from the lowerclasshave more anxieties about food, inview of their unstable food supply,and this starts' soon after the nursingperiod .• When the supply is plentiful,they pack away as much as they canhold. There is also anxiety about be­ing evicted from shelter, of havingtoo little sleep, of being cold andalone in the dark. They look on lifeas 'a recurrent series. of depressionsand peaks, with regard to the grati­fication of their basic needs. In theirlives, it is all or nothing, or next-to­nothing at all. When they have fires,their homes are stiflng hot, and every­one sits as close to the stove as pos­sible, remembering .anxiously. what itwas like to be cold. It would be .morerational if they saved and budgetedtheir money, but human beings arenot.rational, They are what their cul­ture teaches them to be. Lowerclass people cannot learn middleclass fore­sight and moderation unless they canparticipate socially with middleclasspeople, whom they may learn to imi­tate."Another example of lower classchildren's cultural behavior is theirphysical aggression or fighting. Teach­ers misunderstand and resent the slumchild's fighting, just as they do hiscursing, his so-called precocious sex­ual behavior and his dialect. In lowerclass families, however, the parentsthemselves have taught their childrento fight, not only children of eithersex but also adults who make troublefor them. The conception that aggres­sion and hostility are neurotic or mal­adaptive symptoms of a chronicallyfrustrated adolescent is an ethnocen­tric view of middleclass psychiatrists.In lowerclass families, physical aggres­sion is as much a normal, social ap­proved and socially inculcated type ofbehavior as. it is in frontier communi­ties.

After. re­ceiving his B. A. he spent a year atthe University acquiring his Master'sin political science. As an undergrad­uate he joined forces with BobMerriam, now Alderman of the FifthWard, and Emmet Dedmon, dramaeditor of the Chicago Sun-Times, toform a triumverate which devoted it­self to political action with greatseriousness. Their activities includeda summer spent "getting to know theIvv�king man" by working with acrew laying an oil pipe line, and ex­tensive participation in the Roose­velt campaign of '40. For this latteractivity they even managed to wanglefinancial support from the regularDemocratic organization. Among hismore conventional contributions tothe extra-curricular, Perry was a Stu­dent Marshal, a member of AlphaDelta Phi, president of Interfrater­nity Council, and a stalwart of Owland Serpent.From his studies in political -sciencePerry took a logical step into localpolitics by working a year as politicalsecretary for Fifth Ward AldermanPaul Douglas. From Douglas' officehe switched to a War Department jobwhich landed him ("of all places")'.in Goose Creek, Texas. Just as therather limited joys of Goose Creekbegan to fade, Mrs. Perry, "Beati"Raquelle Guidzik who was on campusin '39 and '40, went to a cocktailparty where she got wind of a job inWashington.

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZIN�CHI NA_ =-.�an9RoRINDO-CHINA: .'�-Another Korea?By Donald Lachb EGULAR REPORTS of bloodyf\ clashes between the soldiers of;ance and the Viet Minh (League� . Independence) have kept Indo­hlna in the headlines since 1945.I Dntil recently the import of thesee ashes for world peace has been lostup -on us. Last summer, however,:Vhen the forces of North KoreaInVaded South Korea we began seri­(}usly to look at Indo-China as wellas 't> S· hh -[\.orea. mce t en, our concerndas mounted swiftly. We are even. eVeloping a kind of nervous sensitiv­Ity to Far Eastern problems. Theresults of the recent election in thisJANUARY 1951, country indicate that :our presentsensi ti vi ty is in danger of being seri­ously aggravated in the future. TheRepublicans in the new Congresswill almost certainly insist upon astronger show of force in ASIa, andthey will probably be aided andabetted in their program by the po­litical and military activities of Gen­eral Douglas MacArthur. Therefore,the question of what action, if any,the United Nations and the states ofthe free world should take with re­spect to Indo-China will, I believe,be an International problem of sig­nificance in the months to come. Comparing BackgroundsThe example of the United Na­tions "police action" in Korea leadsus t� compare the backgrounds ofIndo-China and Korea. Such a com­parison serves, if undertaken cautious­ly, to shed light upon what is_ an un­usually dark corner of the worldstage.For example, both are peninsularstates bordering upon China. In pop­ulation they are almost identical,each peninsula having around 23 mil­lion people. In both peninsulas themajority of the population lives andworks in the rich lowland and sea­coast areas, and in both the roughhinterlands are sparsely populated,poor, and backward. By the econom­ic standards of eastern Asia, bothpeninsulas are in times of peace rela­tively self-sufficient in food-a mostcrucial problem in that part of theworld. In area, however, Indo-Chinais larger than Korea, roughly in aboutthe ratio of pre-war Germany to GreatBritain. Ethnically, Korea is fairlyuniform, the people being of Turanianstock mostly. Indo-China exhibitswider ethnic diversities, ranging fromIndian to the Chinese. Culturally, In­do-China is an amalgam of native, In­dian, and Chinese traditions coatedwi th a E uropean veneer, whereasKorea, although mixed, has not such ahighly diversified background.Strategically, the military controlof Korea has been crucial in moderntimes. The Japanese, for example,felt compelled early in their marchtoward empire to make certain of theircontrol over Korea, for the penin­sula acts as a bridge between Man­churia, the "heartland" of easternAsia, and Japan, the workshop ofthe Far East. The Russians, too,have a strategic stake. in the future ofKorea, not only because of its proxim­ity to their important port, Vladivos­tok, but also because of the dangersinherent in having a potential enemyin the vicinity. To China, of course,the presence of foreign forces inKorea seems to constitute a threat toher richest and most highly devel­oped areas, and to some of her great­est cities and centers of civilization.Except as a naval base, the strate­gic value of Indo-China is somewhatless, though from China's viewpointa United Nations intervention inIndo-China would look like a threatto the Canton area. To the Western13nations a Communist victory in Indo­China might expose to direct Com­munist penetration the economicallyimportant Malay States and otherparts of southeastern Asia. So· longas the non-Communist countries con­trol the seas, the insular areas, suchas the Philippines and Indonesia,would probably not be in danger ofdirect invasion. The independence ofSiam and Burma, however, would al­most certainly be directly threatenedif the Communists should drive theFrench from Indo-China.Struggle for IndependenceUntil 1950 the struggle in Indo­China centered about domestic ratherthan international problems. Through­out the twentieth century powerfulforces have been at work to removethe colonial yoke forced upon Indo­China by France during the nine­teenth century. Inspired by the vic­tories of Japan over the powers ofthe West' from the Russo-JapaneseWar in 1904-05 to the Second W orIdWar, the nationalists of Indo-Chinahave struggled fruitlessly for inde­pendence from the French.Al though conscious of this seethingundercurrent of discontent, the Frenchhave never officially offered a programleading to complete independence.The planners at Paris have soughtrather to bind the Annamites, whocomprise the major share of the popu­lation, and other educated groups inIndo-China to the French programof assimilation (or association) byproviding them with opportunities formaterial betterment and education(characteristically in Paris) within theframework of the French colonial sys­tem. Such a program of colonialism,entailing no hope of eventual inde­pendence, has been bitterly resented,particularly since the end of the Sec­ond World War. In the last five years,many of Indo-China's neighbors(India, Pakistan, Burma, Indonesia,and the" Philippines) have won theirindependence. These examples havegreatly intensified the French problem,Early in its history, the nationalistmovemen t in Indo-China came underthe influence of Communists. Unableto work effectively in Europe andAmerica after the First World War,the Comintern and the U.S.S.R.sought assiduously to cultivate thefriendship of the peoples of easternAsia; The Bolsheviks disassociated14 themselves as much as possible in thetwenties from the "unequal treaties"and other vestiges of "white imperial­ism," and concentrated upon a propa­ganda line of equality and independ­ence designed to parallel and supple­ment the nationalist program. Afterthe purge of the Communists fromthe Kuomiritang in 1927, the agentsof the Comintern devoted especial at­tention to Japan and southeasternAsia. Successfully infiltrating the na­tionalist groups, the Communists inIndo-China under the leadership ofHo Chi Minh, "the man with twentynames," took advantage of the Frenchdefeats in the' early years of the Sec­ond World War to assume controlover the Viet Minh, and to begin or­ganization of the independent state or'Viet N am ("Southern Country," theancient name for the old empire ofAnnam).After the defeat of the French atthe hands of the Japanese, the An­namese proclaimed their independ­ence in 1942. Nevertheless, the Pots­dam Conference of 1945 decided thatafter the defeat of Japan, Indo-Chinashould be reoccupied. In the south ofthe peninsula the occupation was un­dertaken by combined French andMANCHURIABritish forces, and in the north byunits of the Chinese Nationalistarmies. In the areas under their call' 'trol the Chinese were much less call' Icerned than the Western forces about Ihelping to re-establish French juris'diction, and hence permitted theprogram of the Viet N am to proceed Iapace. By 1946, however, an arrange'ment was concluded by which Chillaagreed to withdraw from Indo-Chin­for special economic and territorialconcessions from France. It was at thiSpoint that the war in Indo-China be'gain in earnest.French Prestige at StakeTo the French, Indo-China is notonly one of their most important colo'nies; it is also an important hall,mark of France's prestige in the world,and pretty much all that is left of herNapoleonic dream of empire.

Under considerable pressureTHE AUTHORDonald Lach, PhD '41 Assist­ant Professor of Modern Historyat the University, s pen t theacademic year of 1949-50 as aFulbright research s c h 0 l a r inFrance. In Paris he observedfirst-hand the reactions of theFrench people to the affair inIndo-China. "Feeling ran veryhigh, in the general public," hereports. "Y'ou could always geta parlour discussion started andeven your waiters or cab driverswere eager to voice their opin­ion. You could find Communistbill boa r d s condemning theaction as outside the Frenchtradition of liberty."The only issue that Lac hfound of comparable interest tothe French public is the prob­lem they call the cc coca-colazationdu monde:" Although coca-colahas become quite fashionable,(The foppish set con si d e r itquite smart to sip coca-cola in­stead of apertifs, the company'shigh powered advertising hasaroused considerable resent­ment."Actually, Lach adds, coca-· .... /tola is not "as unrelated to I ndo- ".China as it may seem. The Coin­munists have attacked both asexamples of imperialism.On the American scene, Lachtaught summer school at theUniversity for several sessions be­fore he joined the faculty per­manently in 1948. He likes be­ing on campus for several rea­sons, the intellectual atmosphere,the chance to do a maximumof research, and the good stu­dents. "This is not his first dis­cussion '�f far eastern problems;Lach is co-author with H. F.MeN air of ((Modern Far East­ern In iomational Relations"--publishid in 1950. Bao Dai finally agreed in the springof 1949 to head a French-spon­sored but nominally independent VietNam government. At the end of theyear the ex-emperor with the sup­port of French troops assumed "con­trol" over Annam, Tonkin, andCochin-China. Already in disreputebecause of his alleged J apanese-collab­orationist activities-the Annameseopposed idomination by the Japaneseas well as the French-Bao Dai byaccepting this dubious distinction shedneither honor nor lustre on his ownname or on that of the French Union.With the creation of the Bao Dairegime Indo-China became a focalpoint in the world wide struggle ofCommunists against non-Communists.In sharp response to the French ac­tion, the governments of China, Rus­sia, and the European satellites ofRussia accorded official recognition tothe Viet N am Republic of Ho ChiMinh. As a reply to the Communistaction, the United States and GreatBritain in February, 1950, recognizedthe Viet Nam government of Bao Dai.Thus, the world struggle was joinedin another area and without seriousregard on either side for the merits ofthe local contestants.

Washburn, asso­ciate professor of physical anthropol­ogy, told members of the university'sCitizens Board at their annual dinner.Laboratory experiments which forthe first time imitate basic evolution­ary patterns tend to confirm the newscientific theory that man's develop­ment required much less than theassumed period of about a millionyears.Changes in the bony structure ofmammals, including the human race,might not have required many slowevolutionary steps for their develop­ment, Washburn's own work indicates.The development from the pro­nounced brow ridges of the ape tothe smooth forehead of man couldhave resulted from a few drasticchanges in the muscles of the head.The brain, the latest piece of hu­man equipment, likewise could havebeen produced abruptly instead ofthrough many ·slow evolutionaryphases. In his own laboratory, Washburnhas been able, by cutting variousmuscles, to modify drastically theskull form of rats in a way that par­allels evolutionary steps.Modern evolutionary theory, ascontrasted to classic concept, sug­gests that parts of the human bodyevolved at quite different times in­stead of as a single unit. Insteadof leading the evolutionary parade, asearlier evolutionist's thought, the brain,which sets man apart from the othermammals, was the last of his equip­ment to develop.The structure of man's trunk andarms is roughly ten million years old,and the leg structure, which permitsman to walk upright, is approximatelya million years old. But the humanbrain, marking the appearance ofman, well may have appeared only50',0'00' years ago.On the basis of his laboratory ex­periments, Washburn said, manyfewer changes in genes-the factorswhich control heredity-may have.been required for the revolutionaryand distinctive appearance of modern16 Hand holding wood dating to the last ice age 12,000 years ago.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINf1man, for the skull capacity could Ihave been enlarged by a small nuI1l'ber of modifications.The evidence developed by the'Chicago scientist checks with re�search of other scientists, particularlywith new methods of dating.

Since there aremore then 150 clubs and organiza­tions on campus, you may understandthe complexity of her position.

It wasthus particularly gratifying to attendthe Pan-American Ball at Interna­tional House on the first night of De­cember and to see gathered thereseveral hundred friends of Latin­America plus the Latins themselves.Mrs. Elinor Robson, who hastaught Spanish in the LaboratorySchool for several years, has been atireless worker for better relationshipsbetween the Latins and the' NorthAmericans. She has fought againstgreat odds to see that the channelsof communications are kept openand that the sensitive nature of theLatins is understood by Americans.The celebration on December firstwas a great tribute to her, although,of course, it represented the cooper­ative effort of many people. Most ofthem, however, would never havebeen stirred from their usual lethargyhad it not been for Mrs. Robson andher good work. All the national roomson the mezzanine floor of the Housewere used to display the arts andcrafts of vanous Latin-Americant8 countries, and the main ballroom wasc. delightful spectacle.Social WhirlSocial life on campus is very activeduring the fall with all of the C­Dances, special parties, and our onebig formal affair, the InterfraternityBall.

Ithink I have said this before, but Imust .repeat my wish that everyalumnus who thinks the Universityis made up of anemic quiz kids shouldattend a large ball, a basketball orbaseball .game, and really see thesemarty other attractive facets of studentlife.The administration obviously hasfelt that I didn't have enough to do,so it has now appointed me Secre­tary of the Faculties, which meansthat I am listening to more talk thanc"ny man I know. This new assign­ment includes attending all the meet­ings of the faculty, the Committeeof the Council, the Council, theUniversity Senate, and all rulingbodies of the University and seeingthat minutes are properly kept anddistributed on all of these meetings.Most of' you know the discursivehabits of faculty members, and can'sympathize with me in this newchore.Powers Behind the DeanWere it not for Gladys L..

While our students are in­telligent and forthright, and many-are what is called "left wing" in theirpolitics, I certainly cannot say thatcommunism is a problem at the Uni­versity of Chicago.The visitor said that small blocsof communists in his univessity causedenough ill will and bad feeling amongthe students and were so active intheir leadership that they were seri­ously crippling even the academicwork of the institution. He told meabout a recent occasion when a groupof 20 communists had led the entirestudent body of several thousand, inboycotting examinations. He alsotalked to me of Japan's general prob­lems and expressed his fear of anearly withdrawal of the Americans,since the Japanese have had so littleexperience with the, democratic proc­esses.

He spent the periodfrom his graduation to 1923, minustwo years spent as a second lieuten­ant of Army ordinance, traveling forthe Macmillan Publishing Company.In '23 he joined A. C.

In case of a UnitedNations intervention the French wouldprobably take the leading role, aidedby substantial support in arms andmen from the United States and GreatBritain. There is, however, a longtradition in Indo-China of native hos­tility against the French that is par­alleled in Korean history only by na­tive hostility towards the Japanese. InIndo-China, therefore, although an in­tervening force could expect better in­formation from the well-informedFrench than the United Nations haspossessed about Korea, more intenseand bitter hostility from the nativepopulation might also be encountered.From China's viewpoint such an inter­vention would probably be lookedupon as a possible threat to her vitalCanton area and to southwest China.As in Korea, we have reason to be­lieve that close connections exist be­tween native and Chinese Commu­nists, and that they would stand to­gether as they have in Korea. Theproblems of the United Nations wouldbe more complicated in Indo-Chinaalso by not having a nearby supplyand military base comparable toJapan. After our experience in Korea,and since we now know almost for cer­tain that the Chinese Communists willfight if they think their real interestsare being threatened, an interventionin Indo-China would seem at thisjuncture a grave political and militaryrisk, in addition to being of dubiousmorality.Cannot Alter EventsNeither the United States nor theUnited Nations (as now organized)has the power to alter materially thecourse of events on the eastern Asiaticmainland. With tremendous expendi­tures in manpower and arms we cando little more than check for a timethe development of nativist regimes,whether Communist or non-Commu­nist. Proposals to establish a UnitedNations trusteeship over Indo-Chinafail to take into account sufficientlythe determination of both the Frenchand the Annamese to see their ownprograms fulfilled.22 pouring supplies and men into nu­merous scattered points in Asia whereour national interests are not vital,it would seem that the better part ofwisdom is to concentrate our atten­tion upon Europe and to pursue onthe Asiatic mainland a policy ofwatchful defense. Whether we likewhat is happening in Indo-China ofnot, there is little that we can orshould do about it for interventionwould almost certainly require an ex­penditure of resources disproportion­ate to any possible advantage.So long as China remains bellig­erently tied to Communism and to ananti-American policy we can hardlyhope to hold more than beachheadson the continental approaches toChina. Our practical experience inKorea has taught us that to hold suchbeachheads can be extremely expen­sive and dangerous. A war with Chinamight be even disastrous to.J?ur wholeinternational position.
