TRADE BLOCKADE
OF SOVIET RUSSIA
London, Sept. 18.
The Supply Minister, Mr George Strauss, told Parliament today that he was sure no Russian representative or agent had been inside any factory carrying out secret work for the Government.
Mr Strauss answered Conservative charges- first put forward by Mr Winston Churchill in a broadcast that a firm on Government contract was making machine tools for Iron Curtain countries, and that Russian inspectors had been allowed into the plant.
Wing-Commander Hulbert (Conservative) urged that the Supply Ministry check the activi- tics and visits of Russia's "alleged trade delega- tion."

It can be taken for granted that the Supreme Commander, famed for his skill strategically and tactically, would have held his hand but for certainty that the Korean armies, so badly mauled. had suffered severely in morale as well as casualties. and the moment for shattering stroke, holding promise of a swift coup de grace, had arrived. Dis- closure that the Seventh Infantry have been thrown into the operation makes it pleasantly easy to go the whole way with him.

When the North Korean military chiefs received confirmation of suspielon tizat Inchon might have to be defended, their estimates of the probable weight of the onslaught were probably widely astray. The defence of Seoul has stiffened since the initiat rush of the Marines brought them into possession of a key airport and within striking distance of the capital, but the official analysis asserting that the North Koreans have been so disorganised that only sporadic resistance has been offered implies that silginment of the principal objective cannot long be delayed. The seizure of the initiative, simultaneously, along the vital sectors of the Puson perimeter, complicates the problems of the North Korean Command. SuccesHeй have come to the United Nations forċes in several areas and while the offensive started by the First Cavalry Division in the strategically vital Taegu zone has been grimly and strengously resisted, it seryes the same purpose.
