Division of Land, People, Troubles 3 Diverse States

Divided territories and discontented minorities concerned four members of the International Seminar Wednesday night, as they spoke at the final public rum in the summer series.

Jerzy Kasprzycki, Polish journalist and television commentator, said the fear that Germany might someday attempt to re-occupy territory lost to Poland after World War II increases Polish resistance on Soviet armed strength. Territorial guarantees from the West, he declared, would ease tension between Poland and Germany, and allow Poland to formulate a more independent foreign policy.

To Seminar members from the Republic of Ireland, Denis O'Sullivan and Brian MacMahon, the most important problem confronting modern Ireland is the present partition of the island, which cuts the industrial northeast off from the rest of the island, and divides the Irish population along religious lines.

Large Chinese and Indian ethnic minorities in Malaya have created major problems for that country since independence, according to Kandiah Arianayaam, an official of the Malayan Ministry of Education. The Malayan government, trying to meet minority demands for cultural pluralism, offers primary education conducted in three languages: Chinese, Malayan, and English.

Kasprzycki remarked that after centuries in which Polish youth worshipped national military heroes, the present high school generation has made the Soviet osmonauts its models. The change in their attitude reflects a general recognition within Poland that the nation must adjust to the "concrete and probably irvocable reality," of Russian influence. Polish military heroes, martyred for patriotism, can no longer be held up as national ideals for in an age of atomic weapons, as Kasprzycki put it, "there is no longer a place for reasonless heroism."
