World war of words PROPAGANDA OFFENSIVE TO BE LAUNCHED BY AMERICA
NO PULLING OF PUNCHES
Washington, August 12,
American diplomats have decided there is no chance of getting Moscow
to call off the Korean war at the prosent time.
This means that from now on, the United States will pull no punches in telling the world that the Soviet Union is primarily, responsible for the aggression of its North Korean puppet.
Officials hore said the American representatives in the United Nations have been instructed to open up on the Soviets in a world war of words. While there was a chance that the Russians would call off the North Koreans, the United States refrained from stating officially that Moscow is responsible for the invasion.

It is understood that the Com- mission's report to the General Assembly will not contain any recommendations on how to deal with the Korean crisis, but will be limited to a factual account of the Commission's work for the past year.
The group has been boycotted by the Russians and by the North Korean Communist regime since it was set up over two years ago, The Soviet bloc has consistently maintained that the 1947 General Assembly resolution setting up the Commission as a United Nations watchdog in Korea, was illegal.

It was expected that a new re- port on the progress of the Korean fighting would be receiv ed here from General MacArthur some time next week.
