the Fundamental designs and Intentions of the economic-aid scheme. The Democracies now generally accept the premise that the most effective und permanent way of combatling Communism is to make Communism economically un- necessary. Thus, by raising living standards, ensuring full employment, guaranteeing financial stability, · L'om- munium is denied the natural roofs from which it thrives and becomes discredited beenuse it no longer has any valid reason for existence, either as an economie, polllleal or moral way of life. It is belfef in this theory that has guided members of the British Commonwealth to make a generous offer of economic and Bnancial nit to backward countries in south and Moutheast Asin. But, simultaneously, recognition is dentanifed of the fact that other positive measures are necessary to ensure that Communism shall not thrive within those countries. And these nrc mensures which, can only be taken, and mast be self-imposed, by the countries individually, They involve political palicles, both internally and in foreign relations, and it is only reasonable to ask nail to expect that an agreed-upon line of palley shall be followed by all partners in the Asin economic development scheme. Any inconsistency in this direction cannot fall to Jeopardise a six-year plan such.ns that envisaged; moreover, if guarantees In this connection are not forthcoming, It.

Tokyo, Oct. 8. Unconfirmed frontline reports received here tonight said that South Korean forces had entered Wonsan on the cast coast of North Korea.
Wongan, important industrial port for the Communists, was the first major objective of the South Korean drive along the east coast.
No confirmation of the entry-said to have been made by strong patrols meeting with only) light resistance-was available either at General MacArthur's headquarters in Tokyo or at the ad- vance headquarters in Korea.
A South Korean army spokesman at Tacgu did not support the claim made in the frontline reports.
The battle for Wonsan began this afternoon when the South Korean Third Division attacked Communist defence lines along the Andni River, south-west of the port, after overcoming opposition from an estimated force of two companies. Reuter.
