PARTY GET WARM
KOREA WELCOME
From LIONEL CRANE, "Daily Express"
Pusan, Aug. 27.
British troops have landed in Korea. The advance party were flown from Hong- kong and arrived in Pusan this morning. There were about forty men and their officers. The remainder of their regiments, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and the Middlesex Regiment, are still on the way.
The first man on Korean soil got a typically Korean welcome. As he jumped from the plane a breeze from another plane's propellers whipped a yellow cloud of dust over him.

In further assertion of his independence from the maniers of the Kremlin, Tito has just delivered himself of a number of statements which are of speelal biterest at this time of inter- national crisis, In

Applying these statements to the immediate issue at hand, he expresses doubt that a North Korean vlclory, desired by the Soviets, would tend to Independence for the Korean people, undoubtedly be These statements will nssailed by Moscow and its Cominform as further evidence of Marshal Tito's "treachery" and his relapse into "bourgeois" maraly. It is indeed some- what anomalous to hear a professed disciple of Marxism and Leninism, if no longer Stalinism, talk of a morality which Marx and Lenin spurned, and condemn nggression which he himself supported, when the breach with Moscow was not quite so wide, in Greece.

This does not menn that Yugoslavia would necessarily sile with the West; on the contrary, Marshal Tito clearly indientes that he prefers to stand alone.

The West has never declared war against Communism us such, whether of the Stalinist or of the Titolist variety, but only against Communist conspiracy und aggression, and as long as communism eschews these crimes it can be left to the people afflicted by it to den) with it. Mean- while, Marshal Tito's new professions of morality and abhorrence of aggression would carry more conviction if they were reflected by the Yugoslav delegate to the Security Council, who, though refraining from supporting the Soviet delegate in hla manoeuvres, has also abstained from supporting the United Nations in sup pressing aggression and upholding the mural law.
