In the north, the Soviet-sponsored government is conscripting : and Russia is training and ‘equipping a north Korean “People's army” |

No one “thinks this organization would be match for the force being built by the Soviets. But both American military leaders and south: Korean -officials.are convinced the Communists ultimately would be defeated. Koreans, our military men say, “are the greatest’ individualists in the world ‘and would never accept communism.” Among Koreans; Dr. Kim Kyu Sik, chairman of the interim legislative assembly, is probably the most competent spokesmen.

ty,” Doetor Kim said, “1 do not suppose it would last long.”. “It would be one-sided in the beginning, but I believe it would be a landslide for south Korea in the long fun. From what we have seen of even the latest form of modern warfare, it is not altogether the size of army or the amount of equipment that ultimately wins.” “In spite of two or three hundred thousand Russia-trained Koreans, in the north, the populace with the exception of a .few Communist leaders would set their teeth for revenge. You can undermine an army in a great many ways, even without arms. You can sometimes starve them. You can see that they have difficulty in transportation. Cites China Example “They may rush in the beginning like a bursting dam, but human beings. are not altogther like a herd of sheep. China withstood Japan for eight years. Two or three hundred thousand men with modern equipment means a lot, but not, so much when you have at least 10 million against you. “Many Communists in thé south would work internally for the portherm army, of course.” “Some of the rumors say the Russians will withdraw their troops even if the United States does not. They are liable to do that and then tell the world, ‘Look, we have withdrawn and American troops are still in Korea supporting American imperialism.’ . “Of course, they, being just over the border in Manchuria, cah come back and forth as civilians any time they please and in any number and help the north Korean army. Tra “If the United States had to pull out for the sake of international face-saving, Russian-trained north Korean forces could sweep down here. The Russians may say they have .not equipped ‘north Korean forces but we know how those things happen.” « Favors Early Windup Dr. Kim favors an early windup of American military government here, “Leftists ‘are making capital by

claiming that in the north the government is in the hands of Koreans. Nominally, this is true. Actually, the wires are pulled by Russians—not directly, but through Korean Communists. ‘ “American officials say the assem-

. ‘bly should pass new election laws

and hold general elections as in Japan. I contend that the police must be reformed and evil-reputa~ tioned police chiefs and magistrates changed. Without such reform, any general -election in Korea would be only a farce. ’ “We don't want to make a burlesque of American democracy. It would only discredit democracy and give opportunities to other people to tear it down, which. they are anxious to do.” , Referring to demands by Syngman Rhee, “Korea's “elder ‘statesman,” that American troops be withdrawn immediately, Dr. Kim

said, “Dr. Rhee is talking through - his hat, in my opinion.” "
