Gl Joe Shows Korea The Best in A

By JIM G. LUCAS Seripps-Howard Staff Writer

~ SEOUL, Aug. 24—What do Koreans think of Americans? That's hard to answer.

80 few of us speak the language we aren't able to talk to the Korean people. The Koreans who splak English invariably are intellectuals and there {s considerable doubt that they speak for the ordinary people. Moreover since we've come here to save their country they are naturally reluctant to say anything to offend us.

One of the best answers has been provided in a Korean magazine. A Korean named Yang Ho Min was the author of an article which translated means: ‘‘America as seen through the GIs.” Yang said it is impossible to judge Americans through the generals, diplomats, and politicians who have been in Korea since the end of World War II. Because, he said, “they are too far from the public to have real

contacts.” : nn » ”

INSTEAD he wrote, the Koreans judge Americans through their close contacts with thousands of soldiers who represent every class and every state in the U.S. “The first impression,” he said, “is that Americans never boast or speak big about democracy. Americans seem to have little interest in politics. “They look like people immature in political training. Contrary to the Communists who are occupied mostly with indoctrination, no such course can be found among American troops. From their viewpoint, American democracy is not a political ideology to be debated or propagandized; it has developed so far it has permated the daily life of the average citizen and becomes in fact the very custom of the people.” Yang said he was impressed. by the GIs “orderliness, punctuality, leyalty and sincerity to their duties.

“THEIR LOYALTY to their duties, however trivial they may be, ‘and their strict punctuality despite their incontinent drinking and noise-making are not questions of punishment or This loyalty ito duty among American GIs is a deep thing.” Yang wrote that “the GIs believe in a free economic system which alone lets individuals grow freely without restraint and allows a free choice of oc-

“It's simply through capital{sm that the national power of the United States — based on highly developed industry—became the most powerful in the world. “I have discovered this belief among Americans. They're | diggusted with the mere words | ‘planned economy.’ “One thing that attracts our attention is that Americans are go well- informed on economic affairs. It must be natural for those who have grown up under circumstances where free economic activities are guaranteed. » » =
