ACTION ALONG 60-MILE FRONT
Tokyo, Feb. 22.
A communique issued by, Gen. MacArthur's headquarters today said the combined United Nations ground and air forces striking against the Reds along a 60-mile front in central Korea advanced four to five and a half miles.
The communique said, "Combined UN air and ground forces struck out against the enemy all along the 60 miles of the central Korean front, registering advances of up to 10,000 yards on the Hoengsong area. Other spearheads pushed for- ward as much as four miles in the Wonju-Chechon area against resistance that was characterised as light to moderate. In the eastern and western sectors aggressive patrols drove forward in an
effort to contact enemy forces."

Pacific Pact Proposals
USTRALIA has been one of the strongest proponents of a Pacific Pact based on the North Atlantic from alliance
latest reports and Washington suggest that the United States are willing to start the ball rolling toward that objective. It is a matter of some curiosity that first enthusiastic reactions come not from Australia but from New Zealand, giving the impression that Australia fecla wary about the plan envisaged by America. Washington's conception of a Pacific Pact appears to be a cautious and gradual evolution from a three- nation alliance into an organisation that will include all of the Far East nations which are free of Communist control. Theoretically this is quite a sound method of creating a close-knit alliance. But it automatically intro- duces the controversial subject of Japan. Japan would eventually have to be invited to become a partner in the pact, recognition of which arouses Australia's prejudices and suspicions as to the extent Japan would then proceed to rearm herself. The fact that Mr John
·Foster Dulles has introduced into his talks with the Australian and New Zealand governments the subject of three-way alliance simultaneously with discussions on American proposals for a Japancro. peace treaty broadly hints that Washington considers the subjects complementary, Australia does not appear to be ready to go as far as that at the moment...

is thus fronted with a dilemma and it is one which the Opposition at Canberra intend to exploit to the full, as Dr Evatt made very obvious in his public state. ment on a Japanese peace treaty this week. Aside from the role which the United States may have in mind for Japan in relation to a Pacific alliance, the whole merits of a regional pact affecting the Far East have to be considered by its sponsors and principal collaborators. To some extent regional" pacts undermine the United Nations as a world organisation created for the of peace and security maintenance everywhere. Regional defence pacto, even though they may be effected within the framework of the United Nations do, in fact, compromise the authority of UN. The supreme difficulty is for the United Nations to be able to combat, aggression wherever it occurs when that aggression is being directed and controlled by one of its most influential members-Soviet Russia. It is on this ground that the Western Powers, led by the United States, justify their creation of regional alliances, claiming fairly that they represent the basic principles of the UN Charter and UN's doclared objectives and are, in consequence, the best practical way of fulfilling one of the United Nations primeresponsibilities the building up of adequate defences against aggression, no matter from where it may come. If, therefore, a Pacific Pact does materialise it will bayo the backing of the Free World because its obfective will be idufitical to that of the peace-loving members of the United Natioupatan bon kanke
