can make UP these shortcom-
ings with the experience Of
our fighting men. with their
patriotism, with their won
derful fighting ability.
@. What are the present re-
lations between the American
troops In South Korea and
the ROK Army?
A. Military training and
advice Is going along very
well. It's q very intimate re-
lationship. The esprit de corps
between American and Ko-
rean officers is something out
Of this world. Only an Ameri-
can officer who has been In 1t
can tell you. But I have
heard from many Of them it's
wonderful.
@. Is the relationship such
that the ROK Army could not
60 OF and do something ON its
own?
A. Very frankly, we can't do
anything. Soon as we begin
TO do something, our gasoline
and ammunition would all be
cut of.
@. Isn't the primary goal Of
your foreign policy--as evil
denced by President Rhee when
he was here-that yon know
you can't start . war without
support Of the United States,
and the way to get American
support Is to convince us that
1t would be q good thing?
A. That's right.
@. And what Is the basis
for your argument that such
. war would be = good thing?
A. Now. speaking about war:
We detest 1t. We know what
war can do. But there Is this
conviction among our people
that war is preferable to sla-
very under tyrannical conmu-
nism. We know the nature Of
communism and the nature
of Communist tactics. We
know that Ii we don't, take
some more forceflil action
eventually. the status quo ante
win be preserved and Korea
win be completely divided. And
II Korea's division remains
permanent, then our eventual
fear Is this: Our free part Of
Korea would also be sWal-
lowed up by the Communists.
Why Not Koreo?
@. But O. far - the United
States 4 concerned. Il n your
argument that we've got 10

n1unists some place; why not

now. And the Chinese are set
tling down and virtually max
ing North Korea their own
colony.
@! What chance do You
think there Is for unification
in, say, the next 10 years?
A. Well, our thinking about
It is that there is no. other
way to expel the Chinese from
North Korea except by force
full action.
@. BY driving them out?
A. BY driving them out with
force. There's no other way to
do it. We don't think the Com
munists would be willing to sit
down with us or anybody else
and attempt to reach q peace
full settlement.
@. II force Is the only way,
what is the Korean govern
ment's attitude toward the use
Of force in the near future?
A. We have no timetable
about that. But we are hop
ing some action win be taken
not only by US, but also by the
whole free world. After all.
the Korean war was sort Of q
test war-sort of q symbolic
war. And since this was In q
way q symbol. 1t ought to be
settled by all peace-loving ma
tions.
Whot Has II Proved?
@. As q test and . symbol,
what has the Korean war
proved up to now?
A. It hasn't proved too
much. We have been able to
expel the invaders from the
southern part of Korea; that
is very true. But on the other
hand, we always come back to
the resolution of the United
Nations on october Z. 1850.
That resolution not only au-
thorized Gen. Macarthur to
cross the 38th Parallel. but
also declared as an intention
and goal Of the U. N. to bring
about peace and security in
the whole area.
Q. So ron feel-?
A. So we feel that the
pledge made by the q. N. not
only to the Koreans but to the
whole free world. has not been
fulfilled.

the Americans too much for
thinking the way they did.
They were confronted with q
problem Of maintaining the
morale and the livelihood OF
people behind the battle lire.
Their primary concern was
to bring In consumer goods.
@. You are making q sharp
distinction now between relief
and reconstruction?
A. That's right.
q. We have given relief;
we have not given reconstruc-
tiOn?
A. I would not say you have
not given reconstruction. The.
United States has appro-
priated a lot Of money. but no
substantial work has been
done. Z
Fertilizer Dispute
q. We have heard that
some Of the Americans who
worked out there were mot
satisfied with the Korean
plans; they thought the re-
construction Korea proposed
was mot basic enough. Would
yOu comment?
A. When we talk about
major differences In thinking
on reconstruction. I'd like 70
give Just one example. Since
l045 America has spent some
thing like $40 or $50 million
a year to buy fertilizer. Fer
tilizer Is q very important item
for our agriculture. Prior to
AS our fertilizer had been sup
piled by q huge chemical plant
in Northeastern Korea, north
Of the 38th Parallel. We need
ed this commercial fertilizer
for rice and other production.
From the outset-fr late '4S
or '49--President Rhee has
been urging the need for fer
tilizer plants IN Korea. You
can build q plant for about
$40 to $25 million, and II you
have four or five such plants
you have more than enough
fertilizer for Korean consump-
tion.
q. And you couldn't get
these plants?
A. We met resistance. They
didn't feel . fertilizer plant
could be built IN Korea be-
cause Of lack Of technicians
and lack Of power. But We
have been fighting for II al
these years and now. now the
American Government has de-
cided that was the thing 10 be
done, so they are going To do
It. And We are very happy
about Il. But we have wasted

Unificotion

we ore hoping that some
oetion will be taken by
the whole free world."
q. Mr.. Minister, what Is the
greatest problem facing the
Republic Of Korea today?
A. I think the greatest
problem right now is the ques-
tion Of reunification of our
people. The basic considera-
ton that we have in thinking
about the unification Of Korea
is that the people who live in
North Korea and the people
who live In South Korea are
the same. They have the same
language, the same traditions.
They are blood relatives.
@. Granting that unifica-
tion Is desirable, why do you
regard IL as necessary?
A. During the japanese
occupation which lasted IS
years, Japan calculated her
economic planning in such .
way that the southern part
would serve as a sort Of bread
basket and the northern part
(which has abundant re-
sources and hydroelectric
power potential) was regarded
as the industrial area. Many
Of the coal mines and other
mineral deposits were ex-,
plotted; also the timber In the
north and the hydroelectric
plants along the Yalu River
are great factors. We need
them for the well-being Of the
whole country.
@. What b the population
Of the two K0reas now?
A. There Is only one Korea,
as far as we Koreans are con-
cerned. Back in 1945 there were
about 9 million Koreans living
In the northern part Of Korea.
AS Of now, that has been re-
duced to about 8 million. In
South Korea we have about %
million at the present time. at
least 2 million Of whom have
come down from the north.
Chinese Colonization

North Korea has pretty well
become Q Communist camp.
A, That is true. And under

@. Does the Republic Of

f1dent that we could -proDided

Reconstruction
THE whole territory in the
Southern port Of Koreo hos

q. Reconstruction Is always
high on the list Of Korean
projects. Describe, IL you will
Mr.. Minister, the problems
facing yOu In this field.
A. The major problem we
are faced with is that the
whole territory In the south
ern part Of Korea has been
devastated. We have about 55
cities in the southern part. and
almost so out Of the SIS were
seriously damaged and some
of them almost completely
wiped out. Out Of 5000 VII
lagos and towns, at least 1000
were almost completely wiped
out.
@. The war has now been
over for one and One-half
years. What reconstruction has
taken place?
A. We regret that not much
has been done. The delay is
due to the fact that there
have been fundamental differ
ences between Korea's Amer
ica's approaches to the prob
lem. Our major aim when
we talk about economic re-
construction Is to rebuild
and also to build new pro-
ductive facilities in Korea,
50 that we can have our con-
sumner goods. But we have not
been able to do It.

mind.
@. What advantage would
there be to using Korea as the
starting point for this r0ll-
back?
A. When the COMMUNISTS
decided to test the strength
and determination OF the free
world they decided to grab
Korea. I'm sure that in their
timetable Korea looms large
as a key spot. If Korea should
fall, I'm sure that Formosa and

to argue that what this Nation

Carl Sandburg, Herman Wouk,

Their argument was pretty we'll
summed up by Mr.. Lafarge, a

Right now," he said, "any one

This country has q law that
