ROKs Refuse 10 Give
Blank Check for
Writing Of Treaty
BY the Assoeioied Press

SEOUL, Feb. 19.-South Korea
tonight angrily denounced the
Big -Four agreement to hold a
Korean peace conference in
Geneva and declared it cannot
give any one blank check" to
write a peace treaty.
The ROK government, in its
first official reaction to the deci-
sion reached in Berlin, called
it fundamentally incompatible
with the Korean armistice agree
ment."
However. government spokes-
man Karl Hong XII did not rule
out eventual South Korean
participation in a political con-
ference on terms agreed to by
the United States. Great Britain,
France and Russia at Berlin
yesterday
Although highly critical of the
Big -Four action, nowhere in his
400-word statement did Mr.. Karl
say South Korea will refuse to
attend the April conference.
Seen as Especial Invitation"
Mr.. Karl charged the Berlin
statement could be looked on as
giving Communist China "a
special invitation to become one
of the principal powers-creat-
ing in effect, a Big Five meeting
that is deigning to permit the
republic of Korea to attend its
own peace conference"
The government statement
continued:
THE indication in the Big
-Four communique that this does
not constitute recognition of
Communist China is difficult to
reconcile with the usual prac-
tees of international law.
I'm effect. the proposed con-
ference at Geneva is funda-
mentally incompatible with the
Korean armiStice agreement
which provides for a conference
between the belligerents."
Change of Policy Charged.
Mr.. Karl also repeated that
South Korea can never accept
any settlement" does not unity
Korea and provide for expulsion
OF the Chinese Communists
from the north.
The ROK statement charged
the Western powers accepted
Russia in non-belligerent
status after repeated assurances
by the United States that this
would not happen"
The ROK statement was is
sued after a lengthy meeting of
top government officials.

SAIGON. Indo- China, Feb. 10.
Wet Namese officials said to-
day they approve the Big Four's
decision to meet with Red China
in an effort to settle the Indo-
China war, but the settlement
must make it impossible for the
Communicated Wet Mini to
take over Indo- China
They outlined four conditions
which thew termed essential for
a peace treaty or armistice to
prevent Ho Chi Minis rebels
from obtaining politically the
full conquest they have not been
able to obtain by military
means.
France bears the brunt of the
war. But Wet Nam. largest of
the three associated states of
Indo- China. has more than 200.-
600 troops in training or fighting
as allies of the French. The
Berlin decision that Korean and
Indo-China affairs would be
taken up at Geneva April 26
stirred considerable excitement
here.
Wet Namese official sources
said the French-sponsored Wet

German Identification is not a
matter that can be disposed of
by polite disagreement around
the conference table
The immediate effect of the
Berlin talks may well be the COL
lapse of resistance to Communist
domination in East Germany and
throughout the satellites. De-
spite the best efforts of Western
propagandistS. the people across
the line must realize now just
how little hope there is of rolling
back the Iron Curtain. They
must know that for years to
come they will be living under
Communist rule. And being
realists. they must know that the
best chance of survival is to
accept and conform.
Effect on Rearming Uncertain.
The $64 question about the
Berlin conference remains to be
answered: What will be it's eff
feet on the course of Western
rearmament and particularly on
the chances of ratifying the
European Defense Community
pact?
Although MIR. Bidault and Mr..
Molotov. in their final state
ments. both claimed that world
tensions had been relaxed in
Berlin. the direct opposite is the
impression of most observers
here.
The results of the conference
have been most genuinely dis
appointing to those who cher
lshec the idea that a funda-
mental change had taken place
IN Russian policy and that per-
haps all the painful sacrifices
that the West was making were
not really necessary.
Mr.. Molotov made no bones
about the fact that torpedoing
of EDO was his chief object IN
coming to Berlin. Abandoning
the project was made a virtual
quid pro quo of every proposal
for Europe that he brought to
the conference table
But as long as he confined
himself TO Europe, it was felt
that Mr.. Molotov had actually.
strengthened the chances of
ratifying the defense commu-
nifty. His overanxious maneu-
Vering, combined with an UNI
compromising demand for con-
plete capitulation by the West,
seemed to provide the best pos
siole argument for getting on
with the project as rapidly as
possible. Few would have gone
so far as to say that ratification
was assured by Mr.. Molotov's
performance. but at least hopes
were rising
It is only fair to say that this
optimism has been somewhat
blunted by the final session of
the conference. Western sources
may claim that they see no
connection between the prospect
of a conference on Indo-China
and the chances of ratifying
EDO within the next few months.
But so far as the French govern
ment is concerned, the connec-
ton can hardly be overlooked
.As long as there is any prospect
OF ending the ndo-Chinese war
through Russian good Offices.
there may be an understandable
reluctance to rock the interna-
tional boat by ratifying EDO.

PartiSanship Endures.
The partisanship was still there
as the hearings ended yesterday.
But there seemed to be a reali-
cation on both sides of the COM
mittee that the country was in
for rougher going than had been
anticipated by either side.
Republicans, who referred to
the present situation as a roll
ing readjustment" from which
the economy would soon emerge,
had the word recession" thrown
at them by economists who gen.
orally think the way the Repub-
licans themselves do. i.
The hearings didn't end on a
gloomy note. But there was the
warning that the situation could
become very serious indeed UNI
less the Congress kept a firm
hand on the economic throttle.

might occur in 1854 as they were

was a prosperous one for the fruit
and vegetable growers in Delaware,

Mr. Wine said that even in the

growers came through the season in
good shape. Continuing the results
of the survey, Mr.. Wine cited re-

The growers who irregated, parti-

this indicated that irrigation viii be
