in Korea without some feeling of acepticism, it is of some importance that Mr Malik's statement la invested with authority. Radio Moscow has broad- cast the proposition which means that it has the sanction of the Kremlin, in that respect, therefore, the latest Soviet overture must be accepted at face value. Less certain is the sincerity behind the proposal. The Russians have frequently said one thing and meant just the opposite that their good faith is automatically in question. The big mark of interrogation is whether the Soviets are prepared to have their proposal considered by the United Nations in the precise form contained in Mr Malik's statement, or whether, having persuaded the UN to

demonstrated that Peking is willing to help bring about a cease-fire. It is not unreasonable to suppose that the Kremlin gave the Peking govern- ment prior notice of its intention to put out a peace feeler or that the idea appeals to the Chinese Communists. Nevertheless it will be necessary for Peking to give voice to its attitude before cease-fire negotiations can be started, The Chinese Communists have deliberately adopted the role of aggressors in Korea and they must now play their proper part in bringing hostilities to an end. They cannot be allowed to manoeuvre behind diplomatic curtain dropped by Russia in order to gain tactical and strategical advantages for future exploitation. If the Soviet proposition is genuine and has the unqualified support of the Chinese Communists the world can look forward with reasonable hope to cessation of hostilities in Korea and the subsequent resolving of the problems associated with that country. If, on the other hand, Russia intends to attach strings to the cease-fire proposal which run contrary to the conditions under- which the United Nations are prepared to discuss an armistico there will be no point in giving the Soviet proposal any further serious considera- tion. At the moment the Russian over ture is couched in acceptable terms and some encouragement is to be derived from the fact that the aggressors have 'given voice to conditions, which aro virtually identical to those laid down some time ago by the United Nations. On the assumption that the Russians this time mean what they say, it is not too much to bellove that a cease-fire can and will be arranged.
