D'motives may be honest,
but..manifestly he is mis guided in opposing the United Nation's armistice proposals which the Com- munists have Indiented they are willing to accept. The Korean President's in- sistence that reunification of the country can be brought about only by force of arms derives itself from the non-recognition of realitica. A military decision, even if it wero likely (and all the evidence Is to the contrary) could not of itself unify Korea. It is a political problem and one which can only be effec- tirely resolved through a negotiated agreement, due course Chinese Com- münist troops must be with- drawn from Korea; so must other foreign military forces. But it is palpably clear that neither side can be driven out of the coun- try by a clash of arms, The

Washington, June 7.
President Eisenhower, and his top military and diplomatic advisers, were standing by here today to go into secret session on receipt of a reply to Mr Eisenhower's message from President Syngman Rhee,
White House and State Department sources maintained official silence on Korean developments.
The Presidential press secretary Mr James Hagerty, said only that no word had been received from Mr Rhee or the South Korean Government.
He refused to comment when asked if South Korea's attitude to the undisclosed peace proposals, on which it is understood the United Nations and Communist negotiators are close to agreement, was the major obstacle in the path of a truce.

Independent British Dominion In SE Asia
NEW SCHEME ENVISAGED
Singapore, June 7.
An independent British Dominion in South- east Asia is seen by some observers here to be the ultimate goal behind recent moves to co-ordinate the policies and administrations of British terri- tories in Malaya and Borneo.
The first of what are to be bl-annual conferences was held at Muching, Sarawak, in April between top level representatives of Sarawak, North Borneo and Brunel. An intention to develop co-operation and con- sultation was later announced,
