RELENTLESS 8TH
ARMY ATTACKS
Eighth Army Headquarters, Oct. 16. Relentless attacks by United Nations ground and air forces rolled the Communist defences back to within 35 miles of Pyongyang at one point today.
An air report, which an Eighth Army spokesman said to be reliable, placed the South Korean First Division at Suan, 37, miles southeast of Pyongyang.
The latest reports from the First Cavalry Division said the Americans were at Sohong, 14 miles north of Namchonjom.
An unconfirmed air report said that troops of the South Korean Eighth Division entered Ungdam, 47 miles east of Pyongyang and south of the main Pyongyang-Wonsan road:

Truman's press statement. wordy and lengthy, told the world practically nothing about the substance of his Sunday talk with General MucArthur on Wake island. The likeli- hood is, however, t EIL military affairs in Korea, Mr Truman was a ready listener to his top commander, while in the politient field of discussion, the President held the floor, with MacArthur as an enraptured audience. There could not have been very much argument, tor the two men left no time for that-it would take all of the two hours they devoted to the meeting to exchange their respective expert knowledge and opinions. Nor is it likely that the future of Koren was the No. 1 tople of discussfan. On the military side, General MacArthur has won not only the complete confidence of his Chief Executive, but that of the members of the United Nations who appointed him as their field leader. And when it comes to the polltleal aspects of the future of Koren the United Nations must enter as the principal arbiter; wherefore, while President Truman and General MacArthur could readily agree on general desirable features for the new Korea, helther was in a position to lay down d'dictum. It seems more likely that the meeting was held to discuss possible future-develop. ments in Asia generally, with special reference to that ticklish nre, Formosa. When the Invasion of South Kören opened, President Truman and ha' political advisers immediately brought, Formosa into the new Pacifié picture by statements and actions designed to neutralise that land, at prepent held by the Chinese Nations Hats General MacArthur, on the other hand, wanted positive action that

Mr Truman possibly reminded

Palpably clent to adminis trafors in Washington is the fact that the future of Formosa cannot rightly deckled by any military enterprise, even to enforce any majority opinion in the Unlied Nations. It is a matter for round table discussion and it must find for itself a suitable place in the Japanese pence treaty which in due course has to be hammered out. China has to be an active participant in the conclusion Japanese peace treaty and, whatever the political complexion of her government, it be expected that China will tay powerful claim to the restoration of Formosa to Chinese sovereignty. Recog nition of the need for careful, but democratic and constitutional handling of the Formosa problem makes it imperative, therefore, that General MacArthur, the United Nations military chief, should* repudiate any intention.on his part to liquidate the problem by a fait accompli If Mr Truman and General MacArthur Have, through their conference, removed. all doubis on this score, the talks will have achieved something of real importance, for it will be to America that the United Nations will largely look for guidance in the handling of the Formosa dispute, unf a sound line of policy will be required if the issue is to be settled satisfactorily.
