COMMENT OF THE DAY

The So-Called Peking Proposals

so-called proposals which, it is Te a call to be presented by the Peking delegation to the United Nations for a settlement of the Korean conflict are interesting, not so much for their content as their apparent Bource of inspiration. The "proposals" have been made available to the press of the world by Soviet sources in New York severnl days before the 'Peking delegation is due to arrive in America. And, it is to be noted, Peking Radio, that authoritativo voice of the govern- ment, has made no 'comment on them, either in denial or confirmation. Yet so closely allied is Poking and Kremlin thought over Korea and other parts of the Far East that it is more than possible these proposals will be thrown into the lap of the Security Council when the Peking representatives reach New York They are, of course, pre- posterous, und if seriously advanced can man'only that Peking intends to cloud

argues the proposals, should be con- trolled by North Koreans. No genuine basis for negotiations is offered and if, in due course, the Peking delegates do put forward demands of this nature they are certain to be peremptorily rejected by the Security Council. The Council is not meeting to listen to peevish propaganda directed against the United States. It has much more important business. The Korean prob lem has to be dealt with separately from other Far Eastern issues and Peking will be wasting its time drag- 'ging in political subjects such as United States relations with Chiang, or the future status of Formosa. Nor is the Peking government in a specially strong bargaining position so far as Koren is concerned., United Nations forces are gradually accomplishing the purpose which the Chinese Communist armies have been attempting to pre. vent, so that by the time the Peking delegates are ready to make their appearance before the Security Council, circumstances in Koren may have inade "their arguments even more suntemable than they were when they set off on their mission. Péking's anxioty about Formosa is understandable enough, but It is a question that must wait. Korea Is the issue of the moment and it must be nettled quickly--and satisfactorily.
