Rhee To Collaborate In Korean Truce
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 10 p.m.) TOKYO, July 12. President Eisenhower’s envoy, Mr Walter Robertson, today announced that South Korea would join the United States and the United Nations in successfully ending the campaign in Korea “on which we have spent so many men and much treasure.” Mr Robertson was commenting on a joint communique issued by himself and President Syngman Rhee, which he had just read before television cameras. He announced that the United States was now negotiating a mutual security pact with South Korea similar to that between the United States and the Philippines. The joint communique said that in the last fortnight, Korea and the United States had gone far towards achieving mutual understanding on the troubled questions which had arisen in connexion with arrangements for an armistice and the exchange of prisoners in Korea.
