Rhee and the Korean 'Arnistice'

the. latest weapons have to
be retrained in Korea in the
use of arms which are no
longer used by our forces
either at home or in Ger
many. And since American
manufacturers no longer pro-
duce those now-obsolete weap-
ons, it is becoming increasingly
difficult to replace even those
which wear out through the
daily exercises OF the. troops.
Although the spirit and
training of the imposing ROK
ground forces are excellent,
they are today far inferior to
the Reds in equipment. both
quantitatively and qualita-
lively.
A denunciation of the armi-
stice, say Rhee and his milf
tary advisers. would not mean
resumption of hostilities in
sofar as the u. N. forces are
concerned. 1t would merely
mean that the United States
would be able to replenish the
dwindling stockpile of arms
and ammunition of our own
and the South Korean forces
and also match the Chinese
and Korean Communists in
modern equipment.
The justice of the Seoul
governments point of view is
recognized in Washington. But
denouncing the armistice at
this time is considered polit-
ically adverse to the admins
tration'S policies, particularly
in an election year.
1t would give the admins
trations opposition the OPP
portunity to say that Presi-
dent Eisenhower is welshing
on the peace he personally
brought about in Korea. More
over, the State Department
and Eisenhower's White House
advisers point out that such a
move would raise a hue and
cry among the Communist and
neutrelist nations which i'm
mediately would denounce
America as a walmonger. And
We don't like to be called ugly
names.

way before he relinquishes the
reins of government or passes
on, He is worried over the
consequences of the "90-day
arnistice" and would like it
denounced.
The reason for this is not to
be attributed to iingoism Or
to a desire to match the ROk
forces against the Com
munistS. but the conviction
that the armistice. now in its
fourth wear. has greatly
strengthened the Reds mill
tary potential while our own
has deteriorated. This feeling
of Rhee is fully shared by
American officers in Seoul and
Washington.
Despite the armistice terms.
providing that a status quo
in armament and numerical
forces must be maintained
during the cease-f1re. the
Communists have disregarded
it entirely. Not only did they
build a number of airfields
whence jet fighters and bomb
ers could take off. but they
have brought at least 200 such
planes from the USSR and
Communist China. Thus the
air superiority we were boast
ing about before the signing
OF the armistice is now entirely
on the enemy's side.
Moscow and Peiping also
have sent to North Korea the
latest types of military equip
ment, including. according to
reliable reports, weapons with
atomic heads. Not only the
South Korean but also the re-
manning allied forces, includ-
ing the two American divi-
sions, still on South Korean
soil have ornaments which
were up to date in 1850 but
are considered obsolescent

Secretary Of State Dulles. at
the request of President Eisen-
hover, has carried to the Lon
don conference on the seizure
OF the Suez Canal.
But Nasser has already re-
treated. He has decided to &C

for tolls. This means that the
argument over who ultimately
gets the proceeds of the
checks. and when. is some
thing an International tribunal
or a court somewhere will
have to decide, in due time.
If. however, there is a
seizure of a British or French
or American ship and a forced
interference with assage
through the canal, the naval
units of Britain and America
will take whatever action may
be required to obtain their
release or to assure their con-
tinuous passage through the
canal.
The United States is as
anxious as Britain and France
to avoid anything that could
involve a war, and certainly
will issue plenty of words of
caution to the conferees in
London about taking any
precipitate action. The i'm

The higher the degree of democracy the greater the need
