Major-General John K. Singlaub was removed from pi? job after he criticized the President’s plan to withdraw'ouj ground forces from South Korea. Singlaub said the action would increase the likelihood of war between North and South Korea. 1 agree with the General’s argument. But he was wrong to take issue witfv his commander after the decision had been made. nncY But my duty as a Senator is not that of a military man, must disagree with the Chief Executive’s Jup withdraw is not wise, and the issue is not just Korea, but Asia. Ever since the possibility of withdrawal came to the our allies in Asia have expressed their alarm. Jappp,. especially, is concerned, because our troops in South the key to herttefense from conventional attack. As I pointed out after my tripTo that part of the world two years ago, we can expect considerable economic realignment, and possibly a rearmed Japan, if we reduce our presence in Asia one jtfOre time. ECONOMICS IS SIDE ISSUE Economics is an important side issue. We should not troops overseas just to produce trade, but it is a fact that lftoith Carolina soybeans, and ten percent of our tobacco exports, go to Japan, and South Korea is also a customer for our produce. Economic relationships follow our alliances. But the-real issue is simply our willingness to maintaifr'oat commitmqnino the South Korean people. The argument-to justify our withdrawal, as put forth in the Senate, is that propping up a repressive government in Seoul. This is illogical on its face, and doubly illogical to one who has visited country. >c,V. We are not in South Korea to support repression, but to defend the people themselves from attack by a fanatical communist regime whose repressiveness is doctrinal, 'uacd PERSONAL INVESTIGATION - l i v I went to Korea to inform myself, knowing this issue wetetd be before us. I was not the guest of their government, but west at the taxpayers’ expense, to do the taxpayers’ business;:! went where I wanted, and saw whom 1 wanted, and I talked to South Korean dissidents. United in their opposition* ctd President Park Chung Hee, the dissidents’ message toas universally the same: we need American defense and troops} and to increase our danger from the North will only increase Park’s rationale for limiting our freedoms. Don’t pull autn* I found press reports of repression in South Korea tdlbe greatly exaggerated. But it ought to be pointed out that our own country, have been through time in which a series of Presidents abused-their Constitutional powers in the narme'of national security-but 1 do not recall that our allies quit us level that. sb-J'j The accusation of repressiveness was hurled aWtbrf government of South Vietnam not too long ago, and we pulled out. But you cannot abandon a government without abandoning the people. , We hear from the South Korean dissidents. From! the North, there is no dissent, only an ominous silence. There must be some difference worth oreservinc. w
