Mr.. Rhee Comes Next

The Communist acceptance Of General
ClarkS proposal that a truce be signed without
the concurrence of South Korea gets us across
one hurdle and leaves us in front Of what may
prove to be higher one.
The acceptance was not unqualified, the
Reds stipuating that the u N. Command must
take effective steps to insure South Korean
observance of truce terms. Nor is it tanta-
mount to truce itself, for many stumbling
block may be encountered in the details
which remain to be worked out before the
official paper is duly signed.
Nevertheless, this is long and in some
respects a significant step toward peace in
Korea. It is significant because the Commu-
nists, considering DR.. Syngman Rhee's hostile
attitude, might have been expected to refuse
to agree to truce. For two long years-th1s
being the second anniversary of the beginning
Of the negotiations-th have haggled and
stalled. Had they wanted settlement it could
have been reached long ago. That they should
make this overture now suggests one of two
possibilities their condition is such that
they desperately need peace or that they hope
DR.. Rhee will refuse to go along with the u N.
Command and that the way will thereby be
opened to the Communists for relatively easy
conquest of all of Korea.
In the unlikely event that their real mott
vation is a genuine desire for peace, we should
not assume that this goal is close at hand. For
there remain the questions of what DR.. Rhee
may do and what we will do about DR.. Rhee.
When one considers that the truce negotiations
have dragged out for two years and that the
political discussion, scheduled to follow the
signing Of an armistice, may drag on inter-
minably, it is difficult to dismiss out of hand
the South Korean Presidents demand for a
time limit on the discussions. The facts of the
situation being what they are, however, the
U, N. Command will hardly permit this con-
sideration to block the signing of an armistice.
If the Communists agree, truce certainly will
be signed That will leave the next move up to
DR.. Rhee and it is hardly an exaggeration to
say that his decision will be the most fateful
of this long, bloody and ill-fated war.

Missed Bus

aVbSSSu OuS
The w. " and NJ Bus Company is
requesting authority to increase fares.
Many riders feel rates are already
higher than they should be and if we
had better service the present fares
would be satisfactory. BY better service
include sufficient vehicles so that dur
ing rush hours the buses would not be
so full that the drivers would be forced
to eliminate entire stops. Then we
would have service more often than
once an hour after II pm. In addi-
ton to that, it would be we'll for the
company to have more Christian atti-
tude toward patrons. Now, while high
ways are under construction and riders
are having difficulty crossing traffic,
drivers could wait a few seconds for
some one to get from the middle of the
road to the bus. to save wait of from
10 to 20 minutes for another bus during
rush hours. Drivers reflect company
policy.
Due to construction work around
Lincoln Memorial the bus stop was
moved during the afternoon. reached
the regular stop with one minute to
spare, and. seeing the notice, started
to the other stop. The bus came, but
the driver would not stop at my tagging
him, so had to use other transporta-
ton facilities and delay my arrival
home by one hour. I realize that buses
cannot stop just anywhere they are
tagged, but when it happens to be
absolutely the last bus going out by
that route, little thoughtfulness is in
order. RubyIyn S. Haren.

Military Aid to Japan

The announced readiness of Japan to nego-
tiate an agreement for United States military
assistance under the Mutual Security program
marks another step in the delicate problem of
bringing the island empire to point of assum-
ing heavier share in its own defense In an
exchange of preliminary notes, Japan has been
given the assurance that it would not be COM
mitted through receiving military aid to send
its armed forces abroad nor would it be bound
to a scale of rearmament endangering the
nations economic stability.
Strategically located and highly industri-
allied, Japan occupies key position in the
Paciflc-Far East area. Captured by either DO
litical or military means by communism, it
would provide both workshop and arsenal for
building up the economic and war-making
strength of Communist ASIA Associated with
the free nations of the West, as it's government
and its people have indicated is their prefer
ence, it is an outpost of great potential strength
The peace treaty with Japan, which freed
that country of restraints that would have kept
it economically and militarily weak, reflected
the Western aWareness of these considerations
The treaty provided the foundations for linking
Japan with the United Nations security system
and relating her defense to American Pacific
strategy. Under Article S. Japan accepted, in
advance of U. N. membership, an obligation to
cooperate in any U. N. action of preventive
or security enforcement character. In return,
her ex-enemieS recognized Japans rights to in
dividual or collective defense and to partici-
patton in collective security arrangements.
bilateral security pact with the United States
became effective simultaneously with the treaty,
In April, 1882
In terms of rearmament Japan's contribu-
tion to her own defense thus far has been lin
tied to the recruiting of National Safety Force
of about 100000 men, plus a Coastal Safety
Force of less than 10000. American military
advisers have been assigned to the training
and organizing of these units and most of their
equipment has been provided from the United
States.
The question of how far or how quickly
Japan will go toward her effective rearmament
is deeply involved in her own political and eco
nomic situation. The postwar political parties
have been strongly anti-militarStic and the
government Of Premier Yoshida, firmly pro-
Western, has treated this issue with extreme
care lest 1t arouse fears that the country was

Thomas E. Mattingly, MD.
J. B. Matthews attack upon the
Protestant clergy represents a new low
in the tactics pursued by Senator Nc
Carthy. Clergymen, as rule, never
have been noted for either intelligence
or democratic principles. From the
Holy Roman Empire onward, men of
the cloth have been contented to act
as buffers between the ruling powers
and the people. Army and Navy chap
lainS have accepted the miserable job
Of setting the Christian stamp Of ap-
proval upon mass warfare, while on
the home front they might belong to
associations for the prevention Of cruel
ty to animals.
AS H. L. Mencken observed. the
clergy are rather silly breed Of
humans, being obviously out of place
in a world Of super-jets and atomic
warfare. However, there certainly is
something redeeming and even noble
in the group of militant evangelists
who actually believe in the principles
of democracy.
I do not think Senator Mccarthy is
fit to hold his present Office, and every
thing considered, I do not think he is
fit to be citizen of the United States.
Since we can't take away his citizen
ship, We might at least take away the
Senator's right to vote-he has proved
to be incompetent.
