ON THE UNIVERSITY RIGHT

by Joseph M.J. Sanlei‘

Running along a longitud— inal course through the V Formosa Straits is an abyss, partitioning not just the two configur— ’ ations of China, but also the two basic options in the physiographic. descrip- tions of humankind. One of the conditions to whidi man is ever regressing is that of utter wretchedness; the other of , at best, faulted civility. Both of these states may, if given the slightest of opportun— ities, assume phrentropic

‘qualities which lull the foolhardy into fatalistic assumptions and provide to those in wretchedness an "Uncle Tomish" acceptance of their impoverishment; and in faulted Civility an

I "opportunity" to descend to the role of wretchedness. In the state of wretched— ness, the joylessness of life, and the conditioning of years, steal from human beings their very humanity. ,, Men and women become even less than their base animal nature, Whid’l is also swept away into a

hellish medianistic montage. I

In the state of faulted civility, despite the errors, which are often monumental indeed, each human being yet possesses a citizenship of dignity by order only of his or her humanity, and thus is in self—possession of the determinants in his or her life. ,

Only through much effort and difficult labor can self-possessive humans in- teract in a given society, so as to remain on an eter— nal vigil for the protect— ion of equal rights under a just and impartial Rule of Law, the ideal, for eadi and all. Those who, at present, acclaim "normaliz— ation" with and recognition of, the Ed Chinese "Peoples Republic" were logically also the first to offer counsel to the bruised conscience of America, "bothered" by the betrayal of the truly Republican China. Those

who raise praising atonements of the actions of New Years Day, last, are individuals who clearly are not among those who can accept the difficulties of a Free Society. Thus, the very Fact that the will of those unfit for Democracy

was carried out by the __ world's greatest democracy ‘ has dire implications for us all.

The pro—Peking apologists began their assailment of Free China by directing American attention tothe, honestly admitted, faults «(human all) of which the Taipei government may be accused.” HoWever, despite the common nature of these faults which may be found in any government, society or clique, they were presented as being particu— larly Free Chineseror at least to be found on a grander scale on Taiwan than anvwhere else. This, to put it bluntlyis a bold— faced' lie. "Corruption", it was claimed, is rampant

in the Nationalist

Republic. If we, the citizens of the Free World, are to assume the absolute incorruptability of the Communists by this argument then we would be

reasonably directed to not

only end diplomatic relat— “.i

ions ith a long time (and loyal) ally, but to embrace the "perfect" system of "scientific- socialism" ourselves. however, the neo—papal

If,

nature of Maoist leadership

is unconVincing in argument, and there is no reason it ‘ should convince any rational person over the impressionable age of 6, then the argument of dealing with "modernworld reality" will‘be used. It will be inevitably pointed out, ad nauseum, that Taiwan is but a minute

\ planetary fixture, in

sharp contrast to‘the vast expanse of Mainland China which is under the control, "as itvhappens", of the Communists. Therefore, it is "unrealistic" as well as "unwise" to support a tiny "corrupt" island exiled goVernment‘in lieu

of the greater mainland.

'Jhe final argument, should all else fail, is that - Red China will act as some sort of counter balance in

Asia to Soviet expansicnismfl

Thus it is proposed that for the better defence of Free America that we arm Communist China, and that requires diplomatic ties. md (Irina may indeed save us from the psychotic forces of the Soviet union, but who then, in the wake of that salvation, will save us from a better armed Red China?‘

’ The UPEI

. PAST?

Even the multitude of ,4 crimes committed against humanity by"the Marxist- leninist leaders of the mainland since 1949, in-

I’cluding the murders of 60

million people (Hitler in allhis terror accomplished the homocid'es of "only" 12, million!) are excused in outbursts of naive stupid- ity. It is assumed led China is yet 'in, a formative stage and will, against all reason, develop one glorious day into something other than what every

facet of its nature since inception has proven ,it to be. , Communist mass murder may be excused while even a hint of Nationalist—Rep— ublican corruption is / ' unforgiveable! !

The kpublic of China (ROC) sinde its inception, in 1912, has been in astate of.;war orb siege, fighting on a {daily basis for nothing less than its survival.

Yet it is under these conditicns of hardship and long—suffering that the "Pekingniks" demand of the ROC's government that whid'T we, in our relatively peaceful nations, have yet to adiieve, a pure and totally undefiled order! Carrying this, and I shudder to use the word, "reasoning" to its logical end, hon then would these governmental puritans, judging the RQC, dispose ’ of their own "corrupt" governments? Perhaps .among the friends of‘Mao there will soon arise an advocacy for the replace- ment of all "corrupt" ' governments, including those in Washington, D.C. , y, and Ottawa, with

dictatorships, which, at ‘ least in their om press, can do no wrong! I

, The simple truth of Peking's recognition is that it was perpetrated not‘out of reaction to "corruption" in "Taipei" nor any sudi noble reasoning, but rather

of ~' the basest of. human“ ' desires: greed. It was for the sake of greed that,

one by me, the natims of the rapidly shrinking Free (Immunity stabbed a Peprlic in the back, mtil eventually even the Great Champion of World liberty itself ai<bd in the diabolic action! The penalty to be exacted by" retributive juStioe will not be long in gaining its due. For the deprivation of Freedom for any of human— kind weakens the entire structure of Freedom remaining. Thus, those who are hastening topraise the "grand and glorious" Red Chinese system may soon be enjoying its "benefits" for themselves!

It is particularly sad that sudi a noble and . ancient people as those of Mainland Chirm find their homeland to be a Communist prison. They are descend— ; ants of the very people

.whose civility, art and

science, via Marco Polo, i brought a rebirth to the then darkened continent of Europe, so‘long ago. _'Ihe Republic of China on Taiwan bed<ons all freedom loving men and women as an ever dimming night—light, from which a new spark of civilization must be kindled in the West, or forever will our descend- ants Stumble in the dark. The abyss grws smaller and Wretdiedness is ever encroachingupon us; .7 America must again awake, and agin ignite _~ Freedom's Flame for, in the words of 'lhomas Paine, "To see it in our pOWer, . to make. a world happy -

to teach mankind the art of being so - to exhibit on the theatre ,of .the universe, a character hith- erto unknown — and to have, as it were, a new creation ’ entruSted to our hands, are,

‘ honors that command

reflection, and can neithér »

be tcn highly estimated nor too gratefully recieved.”
