United Nations troops on the central front slogged slowly northward through mud and moun- tains in pursuit of Chinese and North Korean Communists who were described by General Mac- Arthur as pulling back in an effort to regroup for a counter-attack.

Gen. MacArthur's communique said that UN troops overcame "stubborn enemy delaying ac- tions" to gain one to two miles on Sunday.

England's hopes for a first Test victory against Australia in the 1951 series, brightened further as a result of this morning's play, when they dis- missed Australia's remaining two batsmen for an addition of only 11 runs to the first day's total of 206.

Russia And Germany

THE tone of the Soviet reply to the

Tetonitish note relating to the role Russia has been playing in inter- national affairs is hardly a good omen for the proposed meeting of the Big Four foreign ministers. In fact, only one paragraph at the end of the tedious and prevaricating text suggests that the Soviet is even interested in im- proving existing international relations. That is something, of course, yet it is also noticeable that Russia apparently expects Britain to take the initiative: USSR will "The Government of the highly appreciate any step of the Government of Great Britain really directed at improving relations between our countries," states the note, but from refrains,

pointedly, quite indicating that Russia is herself willing in the first place to make any practical move to realise that objective. The Kremlin catalogues a series of "provo- cations" on the part of Britain so far as Germany is concerned, alleging that the British Government has been "separate responsible for the unification" of British and American occupation zones, the introduction of a special currency in Western Germany "which irrevocably destroyed Ger- many's economic unity," the formation of the Bonn Government, and "refusal to prepare a peace treaty" in collabora- tion with Russia. Markedly the noto. ignores the contentions of the Big Three that the Soviet has been guilty of erecting an iron curtain between Eastern and Western Germany; that she has created a pappot army in the Eastern zone; and that, Germany has been the focal point for the waging of « her cold war.

the danger that Russia will try to make good her policy for Germany by using East German forces which naturally agitates the Western Powers. The Socialist Unity Party, which directs affairs in the Soviet zone, has of recent months announced a more policy оп behalf of the so-called "National Front." The West Germans are incited to revolt against the Western Powers in order to rid them- selves of the occupation forces, which, in language ominously familiar, are

"interventionists" described as German affairs. The appeal is subtle... reunion of Germany, return of the Ruhr to German sovereignty, rescue of the Saar, and not least important but less advertised-a future for all ex-Nazia whose profession of arms has fallen into disuse in the Federal Republic. The immediate methods are wrecking activities and the creation of unrest and disturbances by the Communist Party in the Western zone, assisted by infiltration of agents from the Eastern

zone.

This is the situation which has been created under the direct sponsorship of the Kremlin and which threatens the security not only of Western Germany but Western Europe as a whole. Moreover it is a threat which can only be removed by Russia. To adopt the Soviet phrase, Britain and her allica would "highly appreciate any step of the Government of the USSR" "really directed at removing the dangerous threat.
