Rhee Addresses Joint Session Os Congress Military Attack On Red China Is Urged By President Rhee WASHINGTON (INS) — South Korean President ftrfHOwaa Rhee urged a military “counterattack on the Red Chinese regime” today to swing the “mainland to the side of the free world . . . and produce a victorious end to the wars in Korea and Indo-China.” Speaking before a joint session of congress, Rhee said such a “counterattack” would require American naval and air aid, but no U. S. ground troops. The outspoken leader of free Korea said that the return of China to the free world would create a bloc of power “so strongly against the Soviet Union that it would not dare to risk war with the United States.” “Unless we win China back,” he declared, "an ultimate victory for the free world is unthinkable.’’ Rhee said the American air force and navy would be needed to inWife MtwtM Os a counterattack on Red Chlha, but added: ”... let me repeat, no, American foot soldiers.” The ee rslidl .ft itkhf ii * iWi dii 1 lit? (“■ yr*al-viu rAtxUu““ said that China is “extremely vulnerable” to attack and that its army's “loyalty is not reliable.” He told congress: “WltAin a few years the Soviet Union will possess the means to vanquish the United States. W« must act now. Where can we act’ “We can act in the Far East, Ladies and gentlemen, the Korean front comprises only one small portion of the war we want to win — the war tor Asia.” Rhee conceded that all-out war against the Chinese mainland would bring Russia into the conflict, but he added that this would , be “excellent for the free world.” He explained that "it would justify the destruction of Soviet centers of production by the American air force before the Soviet hydrogen bombs had been produced in quantity.” Rhee said that the Republic of Korea “has offered you its 2fi equipped divisions and the men to compose 20 more.. A million and a half young Koreans ask for nothing better than to • fight tor the cause of human freedom.” Meanwhile, an administration official revealed today that the U. 8.Korean mutual defense treaty has never formally become effective and that the U.S. government is pressuring Rhee tp bring It into force immediately. The treaty has been ratified by both countries. But it hah. stalled on a single technicality: The Korean government still has not exchanged instruments of notification—the final step in the process Os making a treaty effective. The official told international News Service that one reason President Eisenhower issued his invitation to Rhee to visit the U. S. was to prow for a quick exchange of ratification. It is understood that Rhee’s dissatisfaction stems from the fact the treaty does not automatically require the U. S. to come to hie aid if he should undertake unilateral military action to unify Korea. ,On this point, the senate amended the treaty before giving its consent to the document, to make it very clear that any attack launched by Rhee would not be a commitment upon the U. S. Even prior to Rhee's visit, the source said, the U. S. government had been exerting pressure upon him not to engage in aggression, because the U. 8. will not buy uniflection at the price of further bloodshed. J,, ; The state department hoe emphasised as strongly aw possible that unilateral action by the Korean armed forces would boa suicide try. It has pointed out that without (Cantlaaed O» Pass Ktektt
