Korean Unification Prospects Bright SEOUL <UPD—Republic of Ko- ; rea President Syngman Rhee said j today on the sixth anniversary of the Korean armistice that prosI pects for Korean unification are brighter than in the past because ! the non-Communist world now rec- ; ognizes that the armistice has ■ failed. ‘‘The United States and Korea’s other allies are well aware of Communist intentions toward this country and of the steps that must be taken to frustrate hese aims.” the 84-year-old president told United Press International in a written interview. ‘‘ln the long run. this augurs well for unification,” he said. Rhee, who has fought for the independence of his nation and against Communism for most of his life, said it was “obvious” that the armistice had failed. “But Korea is not surprised at that failure,” he said, because! “we never had any expectations of success. What matters is that our friends now generally recognize that failure.” Rhee pointed out that this was; shown when the United Naibns command wo years ago renounced Article 13 - D of the armistice agreement which had prohibited the introduction of new (weapons into the peninsula. The U.N.C. made this move to ! counter an illegal Communist ! buildup in the north and has since ! brought in new weapons, including ' some atomic-capable ones. “Not much is said about this recognition of our friends,” Rhee ' said, "but it is very important. Our military forces are being modernized to meet the increased danger of another invasion attempt and our economy is being strengthened for tests that still lie ahead.” Henry B.
