BLUNT WARNING BY

JOHN DULLES--

PROBABLE

WAR IS

London, July 20.

"War is probable-unloss by positive and well-directed efforts we fand it

off." That is the blunt, forceful warning given by Mr. John Foster Dulles, the Republican adviser to the U.S. State Department, who returned from a fact-finding tour of the Far East only at the end of June, in the very first sentence of his new book "War or Peace," just published here. The fact that since those words were written, the Communist North Koro- ans have attacked South Korea, and the United States forces, with the blossing of the United Nations Security Council, are heavily on- gaged in combating this aggression, makes the warning only more timely,

Today, with the Korean con- fict uppermost in the minds of all Western peoples and the threat of war hanging in the air, this book must have a special significance for every reader.

It also au- thorised the President to spend up $75,000,000 for military aid to anti-Communist nations of the Far East.

Quick response Congress responded quickly to- day with promises of speedy ac- tion on President Truman's re- quest for more billions and new legislation to win the Korea war.
