STIRRING DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT ON KOREA CRISIS
Mr Churchill Keen On New Approach to Stalin
London, July 5.
Mr Winston Churchill, leader of the Opposition, today called for new talks with the Russians to seek a settlement before they possess the "devastating power" of atomic weapons.
"It is my belief that the American superiority in atomic-varfare is, for the time being, an effec tive deterrent against a general Communist onslaught," Britain's wartime Premier told the House of Commons, débating the Koren ́war,

President link military assistance to South Korea with the neutralisation or defence of Formosa against Communist expeditions remains the chief subject engaging the attention of the Labour Cabinet in re- examining British policy in the Far East. Britain was the first country to declare the Intentiori of following the spirited United States
military lead, imposing sanctions on North Korean aggressors in response to the Security Council Rolutions. It was, at the same time, made crystal clear that British naval forces would not be assoclated with the American warning to Peking that attempts to invade Formesu would be resisted by American worships and aircraft. The reasons are self-explanatory. It would be worse than futile to pursue the desire to estabilsh relations with the normal diplomatic
rc.
Peking regime and couple it with a pro- mise of active hostility In certain circum- stances. Basically, it must be supposed, British policy is directed towards acknow- ledgment of Communist control over the mainland of China and seeking by correct behaviour to encourage Chinese Indepen- dence, to wean her away from subser. vience to Kremlin directives and discip line. Whether there is any ilkelihood of success in such a mission, or whether persistence in It can be regarded na sound polley, are questions stirring conflicting oplalons, even within the Labour Party itself. Mr J. C. Hutchinson's humiliating position in Peking, sitting on the doorstep of an administration for six months with out an invitation to enter the portals, has strengthened the stand of those frankly opposed to recognition of Communist China. Those in two minds about the wisdom of the original gesture insist that the minimum requirement after repeated
Korean
rebuffs is the withdrawal of the spurned charge d'affaires on the understanding that he will return when Mr Mno Tse tung notifies the British authorities that he is prepared to accept a British envoy's credentials. Dignily alone makes this suggestion appear to be commèniable. The diplomatic fluiter created by the Korean crisis may, however, offer other considerations, much depending on sound analysis of the international situation, a correct appreciation of China's part, i
In bolstering the North any, lavastori, und if none, of the reflections of Peking lenders on the Soviet's influence in the flare-up. As Mr Churchill sald to the American Society in London, it is of vital consequence that what the Com- munists began in Korea should not be allowed to end in their triumph. It could very well be that the culmination of o successful Sovlet exploit would be armed clash on a world basis. Mr Gromyko'n ttrade against the United' Stutes in a memorandum to the Secretary-General of the United Nations demonstrates it would ไม่
a grave delusion to imagine that
tension has relaxed. On the other hand, assuming that the North Koreans are brought to a halt and eventually thrust back over the 38 Parallel, the overall situation conceivably could take a mosti interesting turn. All probings of the possibilitics are today in the nature of sheer speculation, of course, but in the absence of direct action by the Soviet, her prestige must be damaged, not only outside the Curtain, but within it, Iron or Bamboo. In short, this could be regarded the worst time and psychology to radically revise Mr Bevin's ópproach to British relations with the People's Government of China. We cun afford to wait.
