United Nations troops pushed cautiously forward on the North- West Korean front tonight. They appeared to be opening anew their drive on the Manchurian border.
Changing over from the defensive role they have adopted for the past week, the American, South Korean and British Commonwealth soldiers began aggressive action against the Communist forces dug in three or four miles in front of them.
A Reuter correspondent, reporting this new advance from the American Eighth Army Headquarters in Korea, said that the 24th American Division sent forward an, armoured patrol a company of in- fantry covered by two tanks-two miles into the No Man's Land, which separates the frontlines north of the Chongchon River.

COMMENT OF THE DAY
to Mr
World Disarmament
THERE have been recent signs that the United Nations is becoming re-conscious of the problem of world disarmament and of "doing something definite and tangible towards resolving this poser, One or two proposals have been made, such as member states be. *ing requested to specify by next March
how far and on what hasls they are willing to reduce their armaments, and another suggestion that a new and consolidated disarmament commission be, appointed to combine the work of the existing commissions on atomic
strength to suppress aggression and to preserve peace. No one nation can be absolved of all blame for this situa tion. All have made mistakes. But the record also makes it clear that the principal responsibility falls on Soviet Russia, That government sabotaged pence both during and after the last war in order to pursue its new im perialism and colonialism. It anbotaged disarmament both before' and 'after the last war either by a purely propa- gandist extremism or by rejecting all practical plans agreed upon by the
