Korean Truce Terms Are isclosed By Drew Pearson The exact terms' have never been made public, but the .Unit ed Nations have cabled Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway the exact conditions for negotiating a cease-fire in Korea. This column, however, has ob tained a copy of the cease-fire terms. The major points are: 1. The opposing armies shall be separated by a 20-mile de militarized zone '"with the southern limit following gener ally the line of the 38th paral lel." 2. Naval forces shall keep at least three miles from enemy shores, except to keep the sup ply lines open to U. N.-held is lands in Wonsan harbor. 3. Prisoners of war shall be exchanged "on a one-for-one basis pending final settlement of the Korean question." 4. The cease-fire shall be supervised by a United Nations commission with ' free and un limited access to the whole of Korea." The inside story is that this proposal was supposed to have been offered on June 25, the first anniversary of the Korean invasion. In fact, the final draft was actually awaiting approval by the 16 nations fighting in Korea when Soviet Delegate Jacob Malik got wind of it and jumped the gun. He came out two days ahead with a cease fire proposal, thereby scooping the United Nations. What the 16 nations had in tended to do was proclaim (1 that the invaders had been driven out of South Korea, hence the military objectives had been accomplished; and 2 that total unification of Korea could be accomplished by peace ful means. TEXT OF PROPOSAL Despite the fact that they were scooped by Malik, the 16 nations believe their conditions are sound for implementing a cease-fire, and have now cabled them to . General Ridgway in the form of instructions. Here is the text of the U. N. cease fire proposal: "Cease-fire shall apply to all of Korea. All governments and authorities concerned, including the people's republic of China and the North Korean authori ties, shall order and enforce a cessation of all acts of armed force in Korea," the U. N. pro posal proclaims. "There shall be established a demilitarized area across Korea of approximately twenty miles in depth with the southern lim it following generally the line of the 38th parallel. 'All ground forces shall re main in position or be with- , drawn to the rear; forces, in cluding guerrillas, within or in advance of the demilitarized area must be moved to the rear of the demilitarized area. Op posing air forces shall respect the demilitarized zone and the areas beyond the zone; opposing naval forces shall respect the water contiguous to the land areas occupied by the opposing armed forces to the limit of three miles from shore. (Excep tion: Islands held by U. N. troops north of the 38th parallel and within tnree miles of enemy shore;. "Supervision of the cease- fire shall be by a United Nations ' commission whose members and j designated observers shall in I sure full compliance with the terms of the cease-fire. They shall have free and unlimited access to the whole of Korea. All governments and authorities shall cooperate with the cease fire commission and its desig nated observers in the perform ance of their duties. 'All governments and author ities shall cease promptly the introduction into Korea of any renforcing or replacement units or personnel, including volun teers, and the introduction of additional war equipment and material," the cease-fire pro posal continues. "Such equip ment and material will not in clude supplies required for the maintenance of health and wel fare and such other supplies as may.be authorized by the cease fire commission. "Prisoners of war shall be ex changed on a one-for-one basis pending final settlement of the Korean question. "Appropriate provision shall be m?e in the cease-fire ar rangements in regard to steps to insure (A) the security of the forces; (B the movement of refugees; and (C the handling of other specific problems aris ing out of the cease-fire, includ ing civil government and police power in the demilitarized zone. ' Cease-fire arrangements will continue in effect until super seded by further steps approved by the United Nations." Note: This cease-fire proposal might have, been offered last winter. - However, President Truman sent a copy for General MacArthur's approval and the general offered it himself, even using some of the identical lan guage. Coming from MacArthur instead of the United Nations the Communists peoh-poohed it, as propaganda. Whoever runs from an enemy permits an enemy to run his life.
