...much a hero in captivity as in battle, he came back to a hero's welcome. In the hush of a hospital ward at Seoul, South Korean President Syngman Rhee decorated him with the Order of Taeguk, the government's highest military award. Old friends-officers and G.I.s who had fought beside him in the first dark days-clasped his hand and pounded his back. When the time came to begin the trip home to his wife, son, daughter and a grateful nation, the general wept softly...
...argued from a sound position: the U.S. owed a certain loyalty to its principal cobelligerent, South Korea, and South Korea's Syngman Rhee was firmly opposed to having India at the conference. More important, the U.S. knew that a round-table conference would: 1) give the Reds a chance to prolong indefinitely the negotiation of a specific settlement, and 2) tie the question of Korean settlement to the demand of Red China for a seat in the U.N.

They cherish the notion that Red China can be separated from the Kremlin, and they think that India can help them turn the trick. Furthermore, Syngman Rhee is anathema to the British. The Times of London sneered last week that the U.S. was beginning to "look more and more like a satellite of South Korea," an odd attitude in those who, in the next breath, accuse the U.S. of stubbornly disregarding the opinion of others...
