FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1950 Communism Is Termed 'Decivilization' By Pyun Pyun Yung Tai, former professor at the University of Korea, termed Communism a “decivilization” in his description of the present Korean situation at the Westminster foundation Wednesday night. ' Movies of the destruction of Seoul, capital city of South Korea, were shown preceding Pyun’s lecture. He said that 25 per cent of the city was completely destroyed. All the modern buildings of im portance were in that sector, Py un added. Having left Korea only five weeks ago, Pyun said that no sensible Korean objects to the UN intervention because they realize Korea will be free only if the world is free. So they are will ing to put up with the destruc tion going on in their country, he said. But. he added, if the UN should pull out, their attitude would be one of shock for they can’t believe the possibility of such an event. < Communism A Disease Pyun said, that he does his bit to try to improve the parts of his government which he doesn’t ap prove of, but that he could never do this under any Communist rule. “Communism is like a dis ease. It’s something you can’t wish away,” Pyun stated. There fore, he claims that the Koreans need outside help. He said, that to i. ‘m Communism is a decivili zaUon, anti-cultural, anti-relig ious, anti-everything. . • In answer to the question “Why do. the. Communists want South Korea,” Pyun said that to the Rusians it would be of paramount strategic importance as a watch tower over China. The Russians want ; that huge Chinese popula tion behind them, he said. “After the hellish experience I’ve had, it’s consoling to find freedom and joy of life in this country,” said Pyun. “To be able to live yourself, and let others live is really something we must fight for,” he emphasized. Pyun, who was recipient of a grant-in-aid under the State De partment’s program for exchange of persons, is now vice-president of the Korean Red Cross. Pyun has conferred with Washington officials and now plans to visit American colleges to study the American public school system. The small-featured Korean was educated in China, has written four books, has taught in the University of Korea,' and was re cently active director of the Red Cross there.
