COMMENT OF THE DAY
FROM BERNARD WICKSTEED
Somewhere, But Goodness Knows Where In Korea,
Dec. 8,
One of the curses of a war is that when you're taking part in it you have the faintest idea of what's going on. You people at home may know we are at war with China, but we don't out here.
One day we hear a cookhouse rumour that the war is going so well that MacArthur is sending
What Are Peking's Intentions
BRITA
RITAIN and France, it is reported, have agreed on a policy of "no war with China." But there is a danger this will be misconstrued as a policy nothing less than appeasement at all costs, which, we feel certain, would not puit the temper of the British people. This so-called policy, therefore, calls for more detailed explanation from the French Foreign Office. British and anxiety over the danger of a declared

Peking discloses its intentions so far. 8 Korea and other parts of Asia are concerned. China has a right to receive uarantees about the future security of er frontiers, but so has.Korea; so ́also as Indo-China: so also has Burman. But in Korea, China has cynically and quito deliberately ignored the sovereign Fights of that country and has thrown augo armies, well equipped and woll rairie, into an enterprise expresaly algried to prevent unification of Korea Mder the aegis of the United Nations.

armies in North Korea are energetically engaged in something more than patrol work. They are, quite clearly, striving to eliminate the United Nations forces. And for what purpose? Merely to retire to their own side of the frontier and allow Korea to recover itself without let or hindrance? "The proposition ridicules itself. Therefore, while it is highly desirable that war should not be carried into China itself, the Peking government must be told, unmistak- ably, that (a) her troops have no right to be in Korea waging a major offensive against the United Nations and the South Koreans; (b) that a settlement largely depends on the withdrawal of the Chinese Communists from North Korea to their proper place Manchuria. Thereafter it will possible to reach an amicable agreement the "Interests" on about Chinese Manchurian-Korean frontier (and not to be forgotten are Korea's "interests" relating to the same subject.) It is conceivable that a demilitariaed zone could be established for the protection of those mutual interests. But firstly Peking must call a halt to its offensive in North Korca and must give assurances that it has no territorial designs on that country. The United Nations, through American and British spokesmen, have already promised guarantees protecting the inviolability of Manchuria, and those can speedily. be reinforced through the creation of a buffer zone once the Poking govern- mont has demonstrated its good faith In the manner we suggest. Refusal to treat the Korea problem on these lines must leave the unhappy conviction that the Chinese Communists have no intp- tion themselves of localising the present
