grim game Of power politics be-

80, ,000, 900 Koreans today are fired
with q remarkable zeal for inde-
pendence.
So intensely Is this desire reflected
that 1t has prompted one military
government officer to comment:
These people think they own this
country"
Forty years of japanese rule and
calculated corruption, plus two
years of bitter disappointment under
Russo-American occupation, have
failed to- kill this hope, although
independence seems no closer now
than when World War II ended.
Koreans Want To Be Free.
Koreans want to be free of foreign
control. regardless Of theology. This
was aptly illustrated by a wrinkled
farmer with whom I talked on the
steps OF village store on the road
to Suwon, an hour by jeep from
Seoul.
(Which do you prefer, Russians
or Americana" I asked.

piled. Then he added: For Korea,
