IN UNITED NATIONS
ANGLO-U.S. DEMAND FOR GENUINE PEACE PLAN
Lake Success, August 2.1
The United States and Britain today challenged Russia to produce before the United Nations any genuine proposals it might have for peace in Korea.
The chief American delegate, Warren Austin, calling for immediate Secur- ity Council action on the United States' proposal, to. localise the Korean war, added: "If there are any other proposals to be made that will genuinely promote peace and security in the area of the conflict, the whole spirit of humanity demands that they be made without further delay."
The British delogate, Sir Gladwyn Jobb, said the Wost would rejoice if the Russians turned up with some concrete Korean peace proposals that would be consistent with the United Nations Chartor and with the firm action taken by the United Nations in the Korean case.
After brief introductory re- marks concerning the aganda, Mr. Malik gave the floor to Bir Gladwyn Jebb (Great Bri. tain). While the British dele ante delivered his blast against busily Russla, Mr. Mallk was taking notes.
The double challenge... was į the West's answer to yester- day's proposal by the Soviet delegate, Jacob
