Abstract

The Korean Paralysis
Church, Senator Frank | April 6, 1964 issue

This article criticizes the foreign policy of the U.S. concerning South Korea. The U.S. foreign policy tends to maintain fixed positions long after these have ceased to serve their best interests. An example of this rigidity is the continued stationing of So full combat divisions, some 52,000 American troops, including various supporting units-in South Korea. The argument that U.S. must leave 50,000 American sentinels on the front line in Korea to guard against, not a North Korean attack, but the possibility of another invasion by Communist China, is transparently weak. The cost of maintaining military forces abroad is a far greater burden to the U.S. balance-of-payments problem than the total outlay each year in foreign aid.
