The Stock-To oking

Waves of tock-taking reverber-
ated around the world last week
as private and public balance
sheets on accomplishments and
failures were added up. What to
one man was a debit often was to
another a credit, even when both
had fought on the same side.
The war was a battling one
from start to inconclusive finish.
The United Nations went to South
Korea with the limited objective
of halting aggression. But MOTH
ing succeeds like success, and the
goal was expanded to include Ko-
rean unif1cation. Then, when the
going got rough again, the objec-
tive became mere repulsion of the
aggressor. And finally, when the
shooting stopped, both sides still
were strong.
The U. N. rates the Korean truce
as victory and vindication for
the collective security" principle.
1t claims that its success has been
great enough to justify the effort
even though it has not been COM
plete. It has yet to be proved,
however, that collective action
could either be taken again or be
as successful as it was in Korea.
In the United States there is
official satisfaction in the contain
ment of communism. Strategi-
cally the move protected our key
ally in the Far East, Japan, and
aroused the United States to look
to its own defenses. But there are
many critics of the Korean truce
within America. They either re-
Evening star., 1953-08-02

ject the limited war outright or
say the limitations in Korea were
too narrow. What this attitude
boils down to, its critics say, is that
such people really prefer to settle
a wider range of international
disputes through war and mar
rover range through years of tedi-
Gus Though bloodless) negotiation.
But wars and their endings are
measured historically in the suffer-
ings they cause or alleviate. And
even if, in historical perspective,
this limited Korean war is found
to have failed in it's aim to prevent
worldwide blood letting, the at
tempt cannot but be judged as
noble.

The Truce

This uneasy suspicion pervaded
the first days of the armistice.
Eight hours after Mondays sign
ing at Panmunjom, the Reds
opened a four-hour artillery and
mortar barrage that lasted until
Just before the cease-f1re at 10
pm. They poured in $4,000 rounds,
and U. N. guns answered, shell for
shell. United States Air Force
bombers joined the fray, attacking
North Korea right up to the dead
line.
The 27-page truce agreement
reflected this mutual distrust. It
was long because every loophole
had to be plugged. It was detailed
so each side could show the other
how little 1t banked on good faith.
Whether, in spite Of this skepti-
cism or because of it, all the provi-
sions Of the truce so far due (see
"Truce Timetable'') came of on
schedule last week. There were
only minor and so-far unsubStan-
tiated charges of scattered viola
tons. BY 10 pm. Thursday the

the General Assembly to meet in
New York August II Ito resume
consideration of the Korean
question"
This purposely vague way of
putting it left the U. N. to decide
for itself Where and When the
political conference would be held,
Who should attend, and tDhGt
should be discussed. Whether the
Assembly could meet the 90-day
deadline depends on how much
haggling goes on in New York.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State
Dulles was trying to bring some
order out of the chaos of over
tapping policies that surrounded
him.

that Peiping would never take
what he might be willing to offer.
So Mr.. Dulles is battening down
the matches. The storm ahead,
he knows, will blow up wrathful
winds from many of our allies and
from both right and left in Con-
gress. But he expects to weather
the storm as the new administra-
tion has weathered other storms
when it stood fast on a middle
course.
For many Republicans, however,
the policies that emerged last
week have been a cruel reminder
that the Dulles policy in the Far
East now bears a striking resem-
blance to the "containment" policy
Of Dean AcheSon.

The Dulles Line

From the American point of
view, the pending political con-
ference can have one of three
general effects:
. We can win more concessions
from the Reds.
. We can lose ground to them.
. We can protect the status quo.
Secretary Dulles made it clear
last week that he is plugging for
the status quo. The biggest prize
"a ceaSe-f1re-already has been
won. Mr.. Dulles doesn't want to
pay the price he expects the Com
munists to ask for further con-
cessions.
What are the possible conces-
sions to United States policy?
First, the Reds could agree to
unity Korea under a non-Com-
munist government.
Second, they could halt the
Indo- Chinese war and allow
native, non-Red government to-
take over.
Third, they could end the guer-
rilla war in Malaga.
What concessions could the
United States, in turn, grant the
Communists as an inducement to
concede one or more of these
points?
First, we could agree to United
Nations membership for Red
China.
Second, we could surrender
Formosa to Mao, or withdraw our
support of Chang Kai-shek.
Third, we could relax the trade
embargo against Red China "a
move which may develop whether
the United States wills it or not,
now that our wartime monopoly
on policy toward Red China is
being dissolved).
Apparently Mr.. Dulles spurns all
these concessions as too high a
price to pay. He said as much
last week on the subject of admit
ting Red China to the U. N. And
while he hedged on the other two
concessions, the impression was

withdrawal from the 21a mile wide
demilitarized zone was completed.
Allied withdrawal from the islands
off the North Korean coast was
under way. The naval blockade
and air war were lifted.
The Working Units
The three commissions, two
committees and Red Cross setup
authorized under the truce we're
either functioning or about to
begin. Here is a rundown on
the six armiStice units to be head
quartered at Panmunjom, with a
brief review of what each has
accomplished:
Military ArmiStice Commission,
the top authority for supervising
the armiStice. It is made up of
five senior officers from each side,
with 10 observer teams plus staff.
Maj. Gen. Blackshear M. Bryan
heads the United Nations quintet.
The groups main job will be to
police the buffer zone. It will ordi-
narily meet daily, but may recess
for as much as week at time.
Already it has received IL Red
charges of minor violations in the
demilitarized zone. No ruling has
been handed down by the COM
mission yet.
Neutral Nations Supervisory
Commission, charged with insur-
ing that truce terms are observed
behind the lines. One officer each
from Sweden, Switzerland, Poland
and Czechoslovakia make up this
group. Twenty inspection teams
will assist. Toughest job, probably,
will be making sure that the limi-
tation on troop rotation $4,000
month for each side, excluding
KoreanS) is honored. The inspec-
tors will be stationed at the 10
ports of entry (see map) and 10
of them held in reserve for special
assignments. Their first job may
be probing U. N. charge of Red
violations of armament limits. The
U. N. says it detected on radar
large numbers of airplanes being
flown into North Korea from Red
China.
Neutral Nations Repatriation
Commission, the controversial Gus
todial group for war prisoners who
do not insist upon" de., resist
repatriation. Representatives of
Sweden, Switzerland, Czechoslo-
vakia, Poland and India make up
this unit. India is to act as umpire
and will provide all necessary
guards. The U. N. reports it holds
about 22,300 reluctant prisoners,
14,50O of them Chinese and 1900
Koreans. The Reds do not claim
to hold any one unwilling to re-
turn home. This group Is not yet
ready to start its work.

4 FTER THREE YEARS, one

A FTER THREE YEARS, one
N month and two days of
intermittent fighting and two
years and II days of intermittent
talk, peace of an uneasy sort came
last week to Korea.
Once the last ii" had been dotted
and the last ct" crossed in the
involved armiStice terms, it took
only 10 tense minutes for the top
truce negotiators of the United
Nations and the Communist forces
to close the deal.
But the deal, though closed for
the time being at least, was in
conclusive. When the arniStice
talks began at KaeSong July 10,
1851, the searching question every
one asked was, "Can there be
peace without victory?"
This week end, the answer still
was in doubt. There had been no
conclusive victory for the Reds
who sought to overrun South
Korea. There had been no con-
elusive victory for the U. NJ
which had to haggle over, rather
than dictate, the terms of a cease
fire. For the United States, the
war was unique in this bitter
respect.
There was not even conclusive
balance sheet. OF the Korean war,
the United States knew this much:
It was the fourth longest and
fourth costliest war the Nation
ever fought. In lives its toll was
$4,000, in treasure SIS billion.
What the truce meant, besides an
end to the bloodshed and waste,
will be a matter for long arguments
In the years ahead.

80 days, the political conference
does not achieve peaceful unifica-
ton on President Rhee's terms.
Dr. Rhee is trying desperately to
force the United States to join
him in reopening hostilities.
The United States Is now ready
to deal with DR.. Rhee again. On
the diplomatic front, Secretary of
State Dulles is due to leave soon,
possibly today, for personal talks
with the Korean President. On
the military front, United Nations
commanders in Korea are setting
up a network of distractions
which can be brought into play if
DR.. Rhee does the unthinkable and
orders the ROK Army to renew
hoStilitieS.
Diplomatic Offensive
The Dulles mission will deal with
three aspects of American rela-
tions with Korea: How to achieve
Korean unity, administration of
economic aid to South Korea, and
the mutual security pact promised
South Korea.
There are rumors that Mr..
Dulles may threaten DR.. Rhee with
naturalization" of Korea, that is,
a campaign for Korean unity
without Mr.. Rhee. This would at
least have some appeal for the
Communists. Mr.. Dulles PROPOSE
ton might possibly be that DR..
Rhee and Marshal Kim II Sung
both step down as a sacrifice to the
unification idea. Then new elec-
tions could be held throughout
Korea.
American economic aid and the
mutual security pact with the
United States also can be used as
bargaining points with DR.. Rhee,
of course.
MIIltoTy INTENSIVE
The military campaign to trip
up DR.. Rhee probably will get less
publicity. The South Korean I'd
Corps, in the last days of war, took
such a drubbing from the Reds
that American officers had to step
in midway in the bitter battle, AS
a result, DR.. Rhee is now more
acutely aware of his dependence
on the American Army.
The United States is also tight
ening its control over the logistical
system without which the ROK
Army could hardly operate effec-
lively. Supply dumps now are
under American control, and un-
doubtedly will stay so.

The Rhee Problem

From the mixture of bitter dis
illusionment and dire threats
about future intentions that has
been pouring out of Seoul in the
past weeks, one durable challenge
to the truce in Korea still stands:
South Korea may attempt to
reopen the war to seek unif1cation
with North Korea by force If, after
