and united Korea. Here are
the principal factors in that
record:
. The United States led the
United Nations in saving the
Korean Republic from ami
hilation In the summer Of
1850.
. The United Nations have
suffered casualties of over
10000 dead and wounded
since the fight to save South
Korea began. The United
States part in this has been
24,685 deaths and 10O,328
wounded, according to latest
Pentagon figures.
Q Since World War II the
United States has spent 81
billion in Korea, exclusive of
war costs. This bought eco
nomic aid which helped the
country to develop from 1916
1850, military aid to provide
a defense force before the
Korean war started. large
scale arms aid since June Is,
1850, and relief and rehabilita-
ton money for war sufferers in
the last three years.
0 The United States has con-
sistently championed Korean
unity. independence and men,

Mutterings about the "in-
gratitude" of Syngman Rhee
In mussing up the Korean
truce arrangements have re-
Gently been intersperSed with
cries of why blame him?"
Among those who defend
Rhee's side of the case are
Senators Knowland and Nc
Carthy. Mr.. Knowland said he
wouldn't settle for anything
less than Korean unity either,
If he were Rhee. Mr.. Nc
Carthy thinks Rhee is "ab-
solutely right"
Thus the question: Who is
indebted to whom in this Ko-
rean business? How much
have the United States and the
United Nations done for Ko-
rea? On the other hand, what
grounds do the Koreans have
for going it alone?
Korean Side
Here is the case for Rhee
and his doughty Korean pa
triotS

share Of the blame for getting
Korea partitioned back in 1945.

line along the 38th Parallel,

0 Rhee has repeatedly warned
us since the truce talks began
two years ago he would not
accept a cease fire that did not
provide for a unified Korea.
. The United States has
pushed the Korean government
into the background in set
ting truce negotiation policy.
Korea was kept informed, and
had observers at the armiStice
talks, but did not get what it
deemed q fair amount of
consideration in setting policy
during the negotiations.
Q We did not release our
North Korean anti-Commu-
mist prisoners after the Com
munists let South Korean
prisoners go. as Rhee's govern
ment advocated. The Reds
violated the Geneva conven-
ton by taking these Koreans
into the Communist army.
The United States stood by
the Geneva convention.
o Korea has not had what it
considers to be an adequate
voice in the administration Of
relief and rehabilitation.
U S.-U. N. Side
On the other side of the
ledger, the United States and

sistent record of friendliness

even went to Seoul to speak
when the Republic of Korea
came formally into being on
August Is. 1948.
This whole question Of re-
lationS between large and small
nations, of course, is one which
has bedeviled the world ever
since League Of Nations ideas
started catching on. Large
countries undertake to keep
the peace for the benefit of all
world powers, large and small.
The big nations provide al
most all of the means to main
tain the peace. The small ma
tions provide mainly good
will. If the big powers make
decisions agreeable to the ma
jority but step on some small
er nations toes. there is moth
ing to hinder offended nations
from sabotaging the majority.
So far. attempts of the big
nations to exact agreements
from small nations in advance
to prevent just such backflr-
ing as is now happening in
Korea-have been regarded as
international bullying.
Perhaps attitudes toward
small-nation responsibilities in
United Nations affairs will
change after the Rhee expert
ence. Much, of course. de-
pends on how the present diff
1lculty turns out.

Potsdam declarations. written
during that conflict.
In addition to these pros
and cons on the government
level. there are a series of less
er points in Mr.. Rhee's per-
sonal relationship with the
United States. The Republic
of Korea President was al
lowed to live in Washington
and to work for Korean inde-
pendence in the 1930s. when
the United States recognized
Japan and its dominion over
Korea.
Boost From Hodge
Mr.. Rhee, along with several
other Korean leaders, was
brought back to Korea in 1945
by the United States. 1t. Gen.
John r. Hodge. commander
Of the United States forces in
Korea at that time, helped
Rhee on his way to the presi-
dency back in 1945 when he
introduced the venerable pa
triot to a Korean audience in
Seoul.
Gen. Macarthur, while he
was Far East commander, lent
his great prestige to Syng-
man Rhee's cause, too. He con-
ferred with Rhee frequently, fa-
vored Rhee with the familiar
Macarthur embrace, for the

United States would do the
same. We have repeated time
after time that this division
was merely intended as q mill
tary convenience. No partition
was expected. We have proved
our good intentions by subse-
quent pressure to unite Korea
by peaceful means. first in
talks with Russia, later
through United Nations pres
sure. But to the extent that we
failed to anticipate Stains
moves to split the country and
communize North Korea, the
United States is vulnerable to
criticism.
Q We pulled our military
forces out Of Korea early in
1949. The Koreans wanted us
to leave, Of course. But they
also wanted more military aid,
which we denied for fear they
would launch an attack against
North Korea. q
Q Korea was left out Of Amer
ica's defense perimeter, as
confirmed by Secretary OF
State Acheson in q public
statement shortly before the
Korean war started. This re-
flected a military decision
based on the Joint Chiefs Of
Staff estimate that the Korean
Peninsula would not be worth
trying to hold in a new global
war. But it was considered by
many to have encouraged the
North Korean aggression.

Expresswoy Fight

An old familiar pattern is
developing as the lineup be-
comes clearer in the contro-
verSy over running an express
way up one side of Rock Creek
Park to connect with the pro-
posed Route 240 development
planned by the Maryland State
Roads Commission.
It's the District Highway De-
partment versus the National

proposal that touches the parks
regardless of any merit such
proposal may have.
Actually there Is room for
argument on the extent such

the park. 1t would hug the

wide. Two of the three District
Commissioners have supported
it as necessary although the
board has not acted formally.
Two Sides to Plan
Nobody wants the parks
harmed. But even if the ex-
pressway were built. there
would be a whole lot of Rock
Creek Park untouched. There
are definitely two sides to the
proposal and it ought to be
decided on the basis Of the
greatest benefit to the most
people over the greatest period
of time, not solely on the emo
tional appeal of disturbing ma
ture along one boundary.
Mr.. McKay's not unexpected
opposition constitutes a real
roadblock since the land is
under Interior jurisdiction.
But it is not insuperable if the
facts show real need of the
project. After all, the District
highway officials'licked the OPP
position of the Federal plan
ners and the late Interior Sec
retary Ickes to building two
bridges over the Potomac re-
placing the old Hig hway

A device to give the Com
missioners a little more "home
rule" In the handling Of their
finances has been killed by the
House.
But since it was authorized
by the previous board, the cur
rent city heads are shedding
no tears over its demise. They
are not seeking restoration in
the Senate.
Here's the story:
For the past several years
the District government has
been going from one fiscal year
to the next with a substantial
surplus carryover on the one
hand, and a big backlog of un-
met needs on the other. For
example, the carryover on June
80, 1850, was about SIS million.
For the next two years it was
about $11 million. This past
June 80 it was about $12 mil
lion, Of which about $2.5 is
obligated in the pending budg-
ct for the Piney Branch sewer
project.
These surpluSes arise from
several reasons which include
a traditional underestimation
Of revenue and inability of
some departments to spend the
full amounts appropriated.
Tronsfer Plan
To give f1exibility to their
operation, the previous Com
miSsionerS devised language,
to be a part of the budget,
which would have allowed
them to transfer, within limits
and with approval of two
thirds of the Citizens Advisory
Council, money from one de-
partment to another. The
limits were 100000 at any one
time and $500, 900 total for any
one fiscal year.
Commissioner Spencer says
the reason the new Commits
sioners are not trying to get the
language back into the budget
Is that the traditional budget
airy procedure of Congress is
to appropriate for specific items
only, and if the District pre-
pares its budgets properly it
won't need the flexibility.
It also is true that the re-
mainder of this years surplus
has been committed by the new
police, fire and teacher pay in
creaseS.
Principle Unoltered
This does not alter the prin-
ciple or desirability of having
authority to transfer funds.
AS far as the traditional con-
gressional procedure is con-
cerned, the proposed language
cleared through the Bureau Of
the Budget which apparently
saw no objection or danger in
the concept.
Some District officials feel
the real reason the current
Commissioners don't want the
authority is that they don't
want the responsibility Of eval-
uating the needs and pressures
of one department against
those of another any more
than they have to in the prep
aration of the annual budget.
In brief. to them it offers more
headaches than advantages.
But some day, they'll wish they
had it.
