Rhee Thinks U.S.
Will Reopen War
If No Unification
NEW YORK, UPI— The New York
Times quoted Korean President
Syngmon Rhee Thursday as say
ing it was “inconceivable” that
the United States would fail to
reopen the Korean War if the
Communists refused to agree to
the unification of his country.
Rhee, the story said, “warned
the United States not to attempt
to persuade him to make conces
sions to Communists os he said
the United States had ‘forced’
Chiang Kai-Shek to do in China
after World War II.”
In a dispatch from Seoul, James
Reston of the Times reported on
an interview with Rhee at his
camouflaged villa on a hillside
above the South Korean capital.
Reston quoted Rhee as saying
he was pleased that Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles was
coming to Seoul next week be
cause Rhee “had some things to
say to him”—not about technical
ities but about the principle of
“fighting the Communists or dy
ing.”
Rhee was described as fierce in
his condemnation of those who
were “foolish enough to believe”
there was any way to settle the
Korean question by “peaceful
means.”
