For US Resolution Condemning Red China

BENEGAL RAU WARNS COMMITTEE

Lake Success, Jan. 29.

The United States picked up powerful British-French support today in its demand for a United Nations tag of aggressor on Red China. This came despite word from Red China through India that such a verdict "will finally extinguish all hope for a peaceful settlement” in Korea and the Far East.

More than half of the 60-nation Political Committee of the UN General Assembly was on record for the US resolution But from India's Sir saying Peking is an aggressor in Korea. - Benegal N. Rau, leader of the Asian-Arab group seeking another try at peace making with China, came this warning:

"Some delegates here have spoken as if the door would be open for a peaceful settlement after the resolution is passed. My government has been informed on the highest authority that once there is a condemnatory resolution there can be no hope of a peaceful settlement. It will Onally extinguish all hope of a peaceful settle- ment."

Sir Benegal thus repeated parily what he has told the Arab-Aslan group earlier today. He urged the Committee to back

COMMENT OF THE DAY

Moscow Has The Choice

Powers

THE notes which the three Western delivered last week in Moscow should bring a reply that will make it clear whether there is any chance of a useful meeting of the four foreign ministers. Sensibly, the United States, Britain and France refrained from being drawn into any further further controversy or any exchange of accusations. That could have been gone on Indefinitely and led nowhere. The issue has been put clearly and simply. Does the Soviet Govern- ment insist that the agenda of the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers shall be restricted to "prob- lems concerning Germany?" Or is it prepared to agree that the discussions should also include "the principal prob- lems whose solution would make possible a real and lasting improvement in relations, and the elimination of the causes of the present International tension throughout the world?" Put in such simple terms the issue may seem to be no issue at all. Why should it matter, provided that the four minis ters can meet again after so long an estrangement, whether they meet to discuss Germany alone or a whole range f other matters as well? Why not, raight be argued, start with the Ger- an problems; and, if there is some cess there, move on hopefully to Sher questions? The answer, of course, is that what really matters is not so much the scope of the discussions as their character and purpose: and tho one implies the other. It is not so much that the Soviet Government has pro- posed, and apparently still proposes, to limit the agenda to Germany. It is that tho Soviets are apparently proposing to restrict it to even narrower limita: and thone of a kind, which would condition the whole character of the discussion.

ก

The Soviet proposal is that the foreign -ministers shall "discuss first and fore→ most the question of the demilitarisa- tion of Germany,"--a subject on which the Russians have very definite views. But both past experience and the con- tent of recent notes makes it clear what is meant in Moscow by discussion of the question of demilitarisation of Germany. It means simply that Mr Vyshinsky would go to the Council table in order to accuse the Western Powers of recreating "regular German army," aiming at the "rebirth of Ger- of Any discussion man militarism." what has been happening in the Soviet zone is ruled out in advance. "Every-, thing said in this respect is invented from beginning to end," says the Soviet note of last December. And when it comes to the question of discussing with Ger- other problems connected many, the Russians have so far insisted that the basis for such talks must be the proposals set forth in the Prague statement which the Western Powers have already indicated are unacceptable to them. Thus such a conference could serve no useful purpose at all, and the only alternative to frank rejection was to seek to change the character of the conference by widening its scope. That course has been adopted and Russia's response to the overture is awaited. Nevertheless the real issue is whether to have a conference which shall genuinely seek to examine, and, if possible, eliminate the causes of the international tension: or present whether to have one which would 'moroly

occasion for bo another polemical fireworks. Or rather, since the accond would be worse than useless, the choice is between a genuino conference or none at all. And the choice is with Moscow.
