China dispatch on Korean Communist forces, and visit of world labor union group to Korea. Leftist press supports Cheju strike. Korean protests brings ordinance revisions. 7. Leftist Press Supports Cheju Strike: Discussing Korea's internal affairs, the press interpreted the news largely according to each papers political inclinations. Thus the Leftist "Dok Lib Sin Bo" gave full publicity and support to the strike on Cheju Island, and the Leftist "Cha Yoo Shinmun" reported that the Leftist People's Front was sending an investigating committee to the island. Still another paper carried a statement that Dr. Cho, director of the national police, had returned to Seoul from Cheju after an investigation, and reported that the trouble had been settled. (b) Comment: The Cheju Island general strike clearly illustrated Leftist organized tactics for South Korea when the Seoul Communist organ, "Dok Lib Sin Bo", carrying out its established policy and party line, loudly cried that the democratic masses in Cheju had risen in protest against bestial action of the police and oppression by fascist reactionaries. The paper, serving as a disseminator of information on Communist agitation against U.S. Occupation policies, has long taken advantage of the protection of a free press to strike repeatedly at the foundations of a form of government which stands for freedom of expression.
