Some Little Known Facts
About Syngman Rhee

Syngman Rhee. the President of South
Korea is in the spotlight these days
He seems 10 hold in his hands the
power TO determine whether there shall
be peace or war in Korea I would like
10 call attention 10 q few things about
him.
He hadn't live in Korea for some
thirty years before our American Of
ficiaIs took him over and put him in
control He had married an Austrian
wife. He could hardly have had any
personal following IN Korea.
l. F. Stone in his book The Hidden
History OF the Korea War" piled up
lot OF well documented evidence TO
prove that Syngman Rhee with the
conniyance Of some American officials
started the Korean war.
Also, Sir John Pratt who was the
British ambassador in China for some
twenty years prior 10 World War II
and served IS far eastern expert for
the British Foreign office during the
war, has said that Syngman Rhee with
the advice OF certain American officials
started the war.
It should be recalled that Syngman
Rhee and South Korea were at that
time in a bad jam Soon after the Ko-
rean war started, while I was sitting
in the doctors office. l picked up a
copy Of the April NUMBER, 1850, of the
PATHFINDER. II contained an article |
ing there. The writer said that during |
the Rhee administration, prices had |
risen from seven hundred TO nine hun
dred per cent. That means in plain !
language that an article which sold
for one dollar had risen to seven or
nine dollars and that the working peo-
pie were having a desperate time to
make living. This article stated that
this initiation was due TO government
al corruption and TO military spend
ing.
Also, it should be remembered that
South Korea had had an election Just
a few weeks before war broke out.
In this election Rhee and his party
were Overwhelmingly defeated
II looked as tho Rhee and his land
lord supporters were at the end Of
their rope This fact explains why Rhee
had to have war in order to stay in
power.
Sir John Pratt said that America
needed an excuse TO use the American
Navy to protect Chang kai-Shek on
he island Of FOrmOsa 1t was reported
II that time that the Chinese Commu-
lists were about ready TO invade For
nosa- They had just invaded and taken Z
'Ver another large island off the China
coast
II should also be recalled that Just

LETTERS TO the EDITOR

prior TO the outbreak of war, the North
Korean government had sent dele
cation into South Korea TO negotiate
terms for a union between North and
South Korea Syngman Rhee refused
to negotiate and threw the emissa ries
into prison on the Sunday morning
following the outbreak of the Korean
war, 1 heard George Hermann of the
CHS say-in his broadcast that Syngman
Rhee was Geterminec 20 unite the two
parts of Korea and that on numerous
occasions American officials had in
tercepted his orders to attack the north.
on the same Sunday afternoon l
heard George Fielding Elliott in his
analysis of the military situation, say
that the South Korean army was sup
posed to be the best army in Asia and
that il was American trained and equip
ped. Apparently it didn't do any better
than Chiang's army in China which had
also been American trained and equip
ped.
A few days ago an English newspa-
perman was quoted as saying that
Syngman Rhee had US over a barrel
and he knew it. He could start a war
at anytime and we would have to go
and help him. We would never allow
the Communists TO defeat him and take
over South Korea. Hence he was in
position TO demand high price for his
acquiescence.
But what is most serious about this
whole matter is that the American pub
lie is unaware of the part that Syng-
man Rhee has played in Korea. 1 doubt
if there is one in a thousand of our
Americans who know that there is any
reliable authority who has ever chaI-
lenged our official story of communist
a aggression in Korea. The American
public is in much the same position
as a jury would be who is allowed TO
near the lawyers statement on only
)ne side of the case, and then without
any evidence or opposing argument |
would be called upon to render a fair |

More and more people are
buying stock in American
businesses these days.
Spreading ownership in this
way is a good thing. When
millions of people have a vote in
the affairs of a business, they
help make sure that the business
will be operated in the interests
of the people.
In cooperative, every
customer is an owner and has a
voice in shaping the policies
of his cooperative. Each coop
member has but one vote
regardless of the number of shares
he owns, and he makes good use
of his voting privilege.
Co-opS lead by a tUide margin
in making business really
democratic.

AntidOte For
Juvenile

tNcWc News servleel

WASHINGTON-An antidote for
juvenile delinquency and sugges-
tions for Improvements in interna-
tional relations and immigration
we're proposed by the board of di-
rectors OF the National Council of
Catholic Women at its annual
meeting here
The suggestions were contained
il a statement adopted by the
board at the closing of its three
day meeting. Earlier the board
members had accepted an invita-
tion from Boston's Archbishop
Richard J. Cushing to hold the
councils next biennial convention
in Boston in 1854
In every age of crisis for the
Church, the Archbishop declared,
tbe Lord has provided a means TO
cope with the crisis
This is the age of the laity.
he said. This is God-given
means today of coping with the
crisis of our time. Therefore we
must have an informed and en-
lightened laity.
All "a members f the board at
tended the sessions. at which Mrs.
William II. Dalton, Augusta, Me,
national president, presided. The
meeting was opened with Mass
in st. Matthew'S Cathedral Among
other highlights was reception
OF the board members of Mrs.
Dwight D. Eisenhower at the White
House. and a reception in honor
of the board at the NC.W.C. head
quarters building where the ses-
sicns were held.
The board voted TO request the
National tuberculosis Association
to place a picture of Christ on its
seals which are distributed annual
ly at Christmas time; to make more
intensive efforts to step up the
national blood donor program on
the local level; to cooperate close
ly with the Treasury Department
in the Defense Bond-a-Month cam
paign and to continue its program
of cooperation with the NC.W.C.
Education Department for bringing
German and Austrian children to
this country for year of study and
observation of the American way
of life.
In its statement of suggestions
for improvements on the national
ard international scenes, the board
pointed out: I'VE in America are
in a period of seeming prosperity.
There are times when this pros
perity seems to have made us for
get our obligations as Christians
and citizens"
The statement said "our first
obligation is to the home" II de-
clared that Juvenile delinquency
stems from adult delinquency" and
consequently all adults have an
obligation to encourage wholesome,
moral lives, respect for marriage

dt IL q. III. at 0l. refer CHuANh
for the solemn ceremonies.
The choice of St. Peters church
in Chilhcothe as the sight of the
celebration was made to point up
the long history of associated
growth of the Catholic Church in
the State from the very beginning
Of the history of Ohio.
The records of the State show
that the city of Chillicothe in Ross
County was founded in 1896 by
Nathaniel Massie. a veteran of the
Revolutionary War with other vet
eran from Virginia.
The Northwest Territory, com
prising the States of Ohio, Michi-
gan, Indiana, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin had been established by Con-
gress in 1877 and in 1900, Chilli
cothe' was made its Capital.
In 1903. $50 years ago, Ohio was
made State with Chillicothe as
its Capital, the city retaining this
honor until 1910 and again during
the period from 1912 until 1916
when the Capital was moved to its
present cite at Columbus.
In 1907 there we're over forty
Catholics in ChiIIicothe and the
surrounding territory of Ross
County. Under the date of Feb.
/, 1907, Whalen Goodee and
Major Phillips wrote letter to
Bishop John Carroll of Baltimore
petitioning that priest be sent
to minister to these people.
No permanent pastor was sp-
pointed at that time but records
show many visits of priests to the
city. Among these we're Father
Benedict Joseph Flsget, future
Bishop Of Bardstown and later
Louisville. KY, and Father Stephen
Badin in 1912.
Later records show pastoral
visits being made by Father Ed
ward Dominic Fenwick, the emin-
ent Dominican missionary of the
midwest and later Bishop of Gin
cinnati, and his nephew, Father
Nicholas Dominic Young, who
minlstered TO the Catholics of the
area until the Spring of 1918.
From that time until 1886, the
Dominican Fathers from Somerset.

needs of the people. Records kept
at ST Peters show the names of

LONDON - (NC) - The British
government gives 200 times as
much aid to divorce applicants as

summer and the new policies will
go into effect next September.
AT the request of Bishop Michael
]. Ready, pastors, principals and
teachers, under the direction of
Father Applegate, began work on
the handbook last August. Father
Applegate cited four reasons why
such booklet is needed.
The handbook will:
l. Aid the pastor, principal and
teacher in meeting the require
ments of the state and the diocese.
2. Bring about greater uniformi-
ty in the system of education in
the diocese.
3. Eliminate difficulties in max
ing transfers from parish school
to parish school.
4. Lessen the confusion in a
school when new principal as

The book covers a variety of sub
jects ranging from attendance to
courses of study.
Listing the detectives of Catho-
lie education, the handbook states
that diocesan schools should de-
