QUESTION
Allied Approach Made Problem Insoluble By Peaceful Means'
New York, Dec. 6.
Mr Ahmed Shukairi of Syria said today in the Political Committee of the United Nations General Assembly that the Allied approach to the Korea question “blacked out" progress and made the Korean problem "insoluble through peaceful means."
Speaking in resumed debate on Korea the Syrian dele- gate was also critical of the Committee's refusal to seat "all parties" involved in the question and was particularly critical of Britain and the United States showing United Nations au- thority in Korea while “befraying" it in Jerusalem.
