Moos Terms Korea Important Country
Korea is one of the most important but neglected countries in the world, a sociology instructor said at a recent Current Events Forum.
Felix Moos, instructor of anthropology and sociology and member of the East Asian Studies Group, s. d. Korea is one of the United States' strategic toe-holds in East Asia because it is one of the few Far East positions the U.S. gained by treaty. He said the 1945 Yalta agreement assured the U.S. position in this country.
KOREA WAS UNDER Japanese rule for many years before the Potsdam treaty, Mr. Moos said. He said the division of Korea by the treaty was "a tragic mistake."
Mr. Moos said he lived in Manchuria seven years. He came to the United States in 1949, he said, but returned to the Far East to fight in the Korean War, during which he learned the country "by heart."
"THE SOVIET UNION'S interest in Korea stems from the USSR's need for a friendly country on its borders." Mr. Moos explained.
Thirty million Koreans were released from Japanese rule by this treaty but they were not trained to assume the rule of their country, Mr. Moos said. The United States, therefore, retained many Japanese in the Korean government, much to the chagrin of the natives.
To understand Korea and its problems, Mr. Moos said, one must back to the end of World War II.
Between 1945 and 1948, the leadership changed and Syngman Rhee came into the limelight, Mr. Moos said.
Rhee's emergence was favorable to the United States because he was educated in the U.S. and had a knowledge of English language and

NEW YORK -- (UPI)—About 2.5 million persons, one of every 30 persons employed in the United States, work at maintaining the nation's health. Within the past decade, the health field has risen from seventh to third place among the major U.S. industries in terms of number of persons employed, according to the Health Information Foundation.

customs, the speaker explained. Phee, however, was not "greeted as a savior."
RHEE RULED the country from 1948 until 1960, when he was overthrown by John M. Chang, Mr. Moos said.
Conditions grew worse during Chang's rule, the speaker explained. No land reform took place and the nation was continually in debt. These conditions resulted in a revolution in 1961, led by Park Chung-Hee.
"Park's government is the best that Korea has had since 1945," Mr. Moos said. He said this government offers a "flicker of hope that things might get better."
ONE OF THE CHANGES in Korea has been the emergence of a Civil Code,Mr. Moos said.Haed Korea's present reform program includes:
- Expulsion of Communist thinking
- Living in austerity.
- Simplification of state.
- Diligence and a spirit of "Let's construct"
