What Korea needs is free
dom and independence from
great power alliances, and a
neutral status guaranteed by
all.
It is to the interest Of all to
create and maintain such a
status. which alone is compat-
IDLE with the security Of all.
1t Is the only solution which
fulf1lls the pledge made to the
Korean people by all the al
Ties, and the only one under
which foreign armies can. or
will, evacuate Korea.
II Korea Is to be reunited
"by peaceful negotiation" as
President Eisenhower has
promised, an idea must exist

complished.
It cannot be accomplished
by a reafHfmed military alh-
ance between the United
States ana South Korea, as
compensation for an armi-
stice that settles nothing and
creates new dangers.
The military alliances-of
North Korea with the Soviet
led bloc and South Korea with
the American-led bloc--are
the cause Of the war and the
ifnpediment to q settlement.

Korea is ever to be free and

Adventist Church December 26,
Thomas AllSton, Sabbath School
superintendent, announced to-
day. This will be the Coral Sea
Union College, Mr.. Allston said,
built by the cooperation of Ad-
ventist Sabbath School members
throughout the world. Climax
ing a three-month - week by
week - study of conditions in
the South Seas, members here
have earmarked an overflow
offering for the School Project
next Saturday morning. World
interest in Adventist mission
work in the South Pacific Is
land is keen, because OF the
life saving work of the Native
Christians during World War II.
Scores of Allied airmen shot
down were rescued and saved
by squads organized and keep
ing watch. Adventist boys in the
New Guinea guided armies over
dangerous trails across the Ow-
en- Stanley Range and other
mountains. With the church
now we'll established in the
larger islands, and mission work
begun among cannibal tribes in
the interior Of New Guinea, the
need is heavy for trained Chris
tian workers. Hundreds of the
native youth in the Adventist
Churches throughout the Coral
Sea area can be fitted, leaders
report, to carry the gospel into
all the islands. Present island
figures approximate 1000 Ad-
ventist churches with more than
| 105,00 Sabbath School members
The training school scheduled
for the Island of New Briton
