This Week
in
Washington


Now that the Korean truce is
a reality, what is the general
reaction to it in Washington's
official and semi-official circles?
What are diplomats who gather
there thinking?
Generally, they can be CLASH
fled in three groups:
l. This group believes that the
Korean truce was the thing to do
and will mean peace in the
world. They believe that those
existing difficulties in the uni
fication of that war-torn country
can be solved by negotiation.
2. This group believes the
truce agreement which the Unit
ed Nations signed was a tragic
betrayal of our policy of Com
munist resistance. They say this
agreement will haunt the politi-
clans in the years to come and
is only prolonging the date of
the final struggle, during which
time the Chinese Communists
will build up their depleted pow
er.
3. This groups thinking is
something in between group one
and two. They believe the truce
was the best that could be ach-
ieved under the circumstances
and hope that the scheduled par
ley between the Reds and the
United Nations will be fruitful.
All, however, are agreed that
this is not the time for the west
ern world to relax its guard
against Communism or to think
about rehabilitation.
Which of these three groups
is correct in its thinking will be
answered within month or so
after the negotiations begin.
And what will be the Ameri-
can approach in the talks?
Reliable sources in Washing
ton are saying the administra-
ton will tell the Reds:

and build up the South Korean
army and will maintain large
armies there. The only way to
get these forces to leave will be
to agree to unification of Korea.
2. We will continue our en-
barge of Red China. (This many
believe troubled the Reds more
than anything during the war
and was one of the main reasons
for the truce.) The only way this
embargo will be lifted is to
agree to a unified Korea.

the United States used this point
in obtaining the truce).
