Show min y fal abw korea a house divided between U S and russia by notts news analyst and commentator service ice 1616 eye street N W washington D C washington A couple of 0 months months ago I 1 wrote a piece about korea for this column it was largely a factual report and aid wh when n I 1 wrote it I 1 realized how little e I 1 and perhaps s some of R you know about korea K 0 r I 1 have b been e e n realizing that for many years but not too many I 1 think that the first it time m e K korea 0 r e a meant anything more to me than a smear on the map was when I 1 w was ss quartered w with i th a young fellow in a barrack in F france r a n c e in baukhage world war I 1 he talked in his sleep that was bad enough but I 1 understand what he said so I 1 asked him he sald said my father was a missionary in korea I 1 was born there when I 1 have a nightmare I 1 talk korean korea est omnis divisa davisa in paries a T duo anam inco lunt the R red d army et el anam south of a di tiding line drawn by stalin and roosevelt by the american army the agreement was that the two nations would set up a unified provisional government and lure the koreans back into democratic life then things began to eventuate roosevelt died and he tell stalin that democracy meant one thing to americans and something quite different to marxian schooled russians oh quite different but regardless of academic definitions nit ions this has happened according to general hodges own statements the russians have drafted koreans in their zone into an army they have set up a communist regime in their sector we done so well with our b brand rand of democracy in our sector not because of lack of good intentions nor of the efforts of general hodge so his enemies admit but due to a lot of things including the spectre of the past which has harassed the koreans they like america but all they have got from us in the past is vague promises other nations beginning with japan took them and tore them they have faced a historical array of broken promises from the grea great t nations koreans thought they were promised independence in a few days after american occupation that misunderstanding was duo due to the fact that the moscow agreement was translated by a korean who was possessed of 0 more native optimism than knowledge of the english language from thenon the americans attempting to abide by their understanding of the moscow decisions have tried in vain to get an agreement out of the russians which would be the basis of a unified korea behind a unified provisional korean government today korea has become one of those explosive areas where two ideologies meet where the two great empires left in the world the U S and the USSR face each other for better or for worse nel neither thinks it should retire and allow korea to erect a government which would take its pattern from the other going to happen now we are going to get a little tougher with the russians and if we can be released from that ambiguous agreement well let the koreans in our zone set up their own provisional government they already have a parliament of their own but general hodge has a veto and he will keep it until ws we see some kind of a coalition free from C communist 1 I pressure or an other kind of pressure of which there are a lot it will cost money apropo blast Pr proposal opo for higher teacher pay my folks came originally from new england we followed the various migrations west in jerks but my new england ancestry Is the only reason ive always been proud of american schools As a school boy I 1 had a tough time because I 1 tough enough there were a lot f lights fights that had bad to be negotiated but I 1 came out with the idea that id take the public schools of america because they taught democracy whatever else they teach later I 1 studied abroad and change my mind then I 1 joined the army and d discovered I 1 S from my buddies 1 I got five francs tor for writing letters for them that parts of america I 1 grown up in were as illiterate as parts of europe which id held my nose going through and that some of europe was more literate than the united states although at our worst we had a better school for the poor man proportionately tiona tely than great britain years passed and finally I 1 began hearing complaints about our schools including luding the high literacy areas I 1 realized what teachers were being paid compared to dog catchers and garbage collectors and bartenders not as much I 1 mentioned it on the radio most people complimented my stand for higher remuneration tor for education of course we expect ex peet to pay as mach as we pay fo tot liquor to redden our noses or the women pay tor for cosmetics to redden their lips but what shocked my new mew england soul was some of the letters on the 1 other side from a teacher of long and varied experience the most important teachers in the world are the mothers and fathers who are now earning wages less than the teachers in a great many cases lack of adequate pay for them Is the greatest cause of education failure and failure it ie because it does not aid properly those who need it worst from a california teacher who is almost in despair over the situation the school cannot substitute for the home it can only supplement it you cant teach children who have had no home training you cant even teach those who have it if your whole time and strength are consumed by those who most parents will pay whatever they have to pay tor for a parking station for or their children and will ask no further questions more and more of the parking attends attendants ants are unwilling to deal with such children at any price from a pennsylvania mother it if monetary remuneration were the only consideration tor for our services in this life would there be nurses doctors welfare workers and ministers yet they abound in love and kindness and tolerance from a virginia man there is an adage to the effect you get just about what you Y ou pay for the point is when the school teacher does his job as well as the street cleaner or garbage collector he will be paid accordingly but as long as the educators are content to have the street cleaners do their job better the educators should not complain that the street cleaner is better paid gets wasps straight J an q p 7 M sixteen year old david
