Korea Commies Collective
Farm System Nearing End
Edilori Note: In the five years
lince the end of the Korean War.
the Northern Korean Communists
have almost completed their farm
collectivization program. But there
.are reports of increasing unrest
among farmers in the northern
portion of this rugged peninsula.
In the following dispatch, based on
Information obtained from official
Communist reports and South Kor
ean intelligence sources, Smith of
United Press International the
only American news agency cor
respondent stationed permanently
in Korea writes of the Commun
ist progress in the farm collectivi
zation program and the causes of
the farmer unrest.

SEOUL (UPI) The North
Korean Communists' postwar
farm collectivization program is
nearing completion. But it is
meeting more and more opposition
from the farmers, according to
information received here.
The program was begun on a
large scale only about four years
ago and now an estimated 90 to
95 per cent of all farms in North
.Korea are embraced in the agri
cultural cooperatives.
The Communists spent the first
year or so, following the July,
.1953, truce agreement, collectivi
zing the farms on an experimen
tal hasis.
The formation of the coopera
tives began with the establish
ment of hard political cores, fol
lowed by the cooperativization of
Jhe farms in the most important
agricultural areas.

ODeratives grew from 806 in 19o3
to 15,825 at the end of 1956. These
.cooperatives in 1956 embraced
about 81 per cent of the total
number of farm households and
about 79 per cent of the arable
' land.

The restrictions on property,
equipment and livestock that can
be owned by each household.
But one of the most serious
complaints of the farmers, accord
ing to a North Korean recently
captured by South Korean author

by the cooperative officials to in
doctrinate them politically.
the farmers feel they have no
individual freedom, even "on their

Federal Workers
Plan Convention
J. Irvin Borthick will represent
federal employes of the nKlamath
Falls area at a convention of the
National Federation of F e d e r a 1
Employes in Kansas City next
month.
Borthick. a collection officer for
the Internal Revenue Service, was
chosen by Local 704, which repre
sents most federal employes ot
the area. Only post office em
ployes, who belong to other organ
izations, are not included in
the local.
The weeklong convention begins
September 8. Borthick said the civ
il service merit system, retire
ment, promotions and other sub
jects would be convention topics.
Borthick is president ot Local
704, whose other officers are Wil-
ber A. Dow, vice president; Goldie

Dorothy Sack, Burt Mitchell and
Frank S. Stennett, directors.

it can be held on August 23.
Meanwhile, the teams are training
for the Bend meet the last week

Tooke announces that swim

causing a late opening of the pool
this season, the attendance figures
to date are well over those of last
year. The totals for the June 5 to
August 10 period show 8.969, with
lessons attendance at 1,892. Inter

said a Moslem motorist. "They
don't care who travels here. They

This war will continue, said
another. "We can fight for a long
time. Independence must come.
And a Moslem truck driver told
about the woman he saw.
"She just looked out ot her win

Mother of five children."
"Who shot the woman, the French
the rebels?" the American
asked.
The French don't shoot civil
ians, monsieur.
"The French come and get you
at night," said another Moslem
motorist. "Then they attach these
electric wires lo your wrist and
ask questions. This docs not leave
any marks."
"There were two grenades here
today," said a Moslem taxi driver
Constantine, the end of ,the
hitchhiking journey. "All victims
were Moslems. There is reason for
killing French soldiers. It's war.
But why do they kill our women
and children, monsieur?"
Palestine refugees cling to their
tin-roofed shacks and dream of
revenge.
And all look speculatively to
ward Cairo. For the present, at
any rate, Gamal Abdel Nasser is
their hero.
This is not because he is Gamal
Abdel Nasser. It is because they
are in search of a hero. Nasser
will do until a better one conies
along. Nasserism is something
which grew out of international
events, inexorably pushing the
Arabs East. The United Arab Re
public's President still has enor
mous potential tor good or mis
chief. But developments this year
have cooled the ardor of some of
his followers.
It is for the West now to recog
nize that Nasser is only a symbol
to most nationalists. His appeal is
to a small but powerful intellec
tual class which blames the West
for its woes. It sees Nasser as a
symbol of reviving Arab power
which one day will crush impe
rialism and colonialism. It blames
these for its sense of inferiority
and backwardness in a modern
world.
The peasants of Egypt, the lono-
lv Bedouin nomads of the Arab
deserts, the heavily burdened la
borers of Iraq know little of poli
tics. If they respond to Nasser,
it is because Arab intellectuals
have persuaded them lo do so with
the poetically cadcnccd vio
lence of emotional propaganda.
The masses will not make the
Arabs' future. The intellectuals
will.
Nasser was a spur to revolu
tion in Iraq. But this did not nec
essarily mean Iraqis in the future
would follow him blindly. They
won't, if they have something
more promising to follow.
Some told me they wero not so
sure as they were two years ago
that all Nasser stands for is
right. The swiftness with which
Egypt swallowed Syria shook their
faith in their hero. This was not
the sort of Arab unity they had
envisioned.
Nasser is' a goad to revenge
among Palestine refugees. But
even these will not follow Nasser
blindly. They follow him so long
as he represents their hopes for
revenge.
The sleek young sheiks admire
Nasser for the moment. Their ad
miration stems from fury at the
spectacle of their own countries
still mired in centuries-old leudai
backwardness in the midst of oil
riches,
