WORLD RELIEF BUT LITTLE REJOICING Armistice Will Reaction To Korea Armistice News: Emphasis Shifts To Political Conference Aid President In
Slump In Markets Unlikely
London, July 27.. There is no reasou to sup- pene that Korean truce will bring on a work slump, according to financial ex. perts.
On the contrary, a lifting of hearts could well mean a lifting of markels and of business generally,
Markels have bad several months in which to adjust them selve to the prospects of a Korean amie. The adjustment may have been completed in the past few days with the further Tolls in prices of Eastern com- modities, such as tin, ruhher ans сорта.
Scepticism Apparent In Several Countries
London, July 27.
News that an armistice is to be signed in Korea today brought relief to the world but little rejoicing as the emphasis shifted to the post- truce political conference and its chances of consolidating the peace.
South Korea stated it would not wreck an armistice" for 180 days. But, asked what the South Korean Government would do if the conference "to peacefully settle the Korean problem" had not produced results within 90 days, the South Korean Defence Minister, Vice-Admiral Selm Won II, replied: "We will resort to military action".
Notices are expected to go out from New York within 24 hours calling the United Nations General Assembly into session within two or three weeks to consider the armistice and arrangements for the ference.

The Korean armistice, in the opinion of many observers here, takes President Eisenhower off- the political hook.
