rotra MroroRD mail tribune Thursday. Jan. S, 1946 I L Policy Bringing Serious Con sequences and People Greatly Concerned, Word By Sandor 8. Klein United Press Correspondent Washington, Jan. 3 ftl.PJ Gen. Douglas MacArthur was re vealed today to have expressed dissatisfaction to the war depart ment over divided American- Soviet Russian control of Korea In his first report on his stew ardship as supreme commander for the allied powers, MacAr thur said that the dual control was bringing "serious conse quences" and that the Korea people were "greatly concern ed." Before Conference This report. Issued through the war department, was pre pared before the three-power conference of foreign ministers at Moscow agreed on a Join Sovlet-U. S. commission for Korea and the calling of a meet ing of the Russian and American military commands In Korea to establish coordination on ad mlnlstratlve and economic mat ters, Soviet Russia Is In control Korea north of the 38th parallel and the United States has Juris diction of the area to the south MacArthur also Indicated his opposition to any plan calling for the mass deportation of Jap anese from Japan for reparation labor service. He said that de portation should be confined to specialists needed to Install and to manage transplanted Indus trial establishments, Would Work Japs However, MacArthur propos ed that Japanese military and civilian personnel who were left on by-passed islands In the south west Pacific be utilized to re build damaged areas and to con struct new developments "In or der to take advantage of tbelr otherwise Idle and restless man power." The supreme commander'i re port on the first two full months of his stewardship of Japan- September and October, 1043 covered much that had previous ly been announced. It roltcrntcd that the aim of the governing authorities is to destroy the feu dal and authoritarian basis of Japanese life and to set the na tion on the road to peace and democracy. MacArthur's apparent concern over the dual Jurisdiction over Korea was expressed In several places In his report. He pointed out that the two areas of the country were Inicr-dependent and suggested that the Russians were not being altogether coop erative. Reds In Seoul "Russian consular officials are stationed In Seoul (Korea's capl tal, which Is In the American rone)," MacArthur wrote. "A re ciprocal privilege does not exist In the north." At another point In the report, MacArthur said: "The present division of Korea Into Russian-controlled northern and American-controlled south ern sections presents many prob lems of policy and operation. Aside from the administrative problems arising from the fact that the 3Rth parallel cuts through three provinces, the economic and cultural dicho tomy (division) resulting from the dual control has serious con sequences. The Korean people are greatly concerned with the artificial division of their coun try. South Is Hub "Southern Korea containing the capital Is .the hub of the com munications system. It also has the principal cereal crops. On the other hand it Is dependent on northern Korea for coal and electric rfower. Conl which Is not yet obtainable from northern Korea mut now be Imported from Kyushu or shipped half way around the peninsula from a small coal port on the eastern shore south of 38 degrees. The amount and duration of elec trical supply is controlled by northern Korea without consul tation with consumers south of the line. Neither section of the country Is self-sufficient." At still another point, MacAr thur said: "The solution to problems oc casioned by this division can be solved only by active coopera tlcn between the governments of the United States and the Soviet Union." Greatest Gamble i MacArthur characterized the Initial landing on Japan as "the greatest gamble which had been taken in history." The United States, he said, gambled on the power of the emperor to facili tate absolute surrender and to aid in the establishment of com plete control by the American army. Balanced against this, he added, was a well-armed Jap anese army, the secret police, terrorist and nationalist socie ties, and other potential forces of possible resistance. 'The gamble proved Justified," he added, " and the occu pation was orderly and devoid of casualties."
