London, June 25,
The Foreign Secretary, Mr Herbert Morrison, said today that Britain was already actively study- ing the ways and means of following up Russia's new proposal for a cease-fire in Korea.
He welcomed the move made in the weekend broad- cast by Mr Jacob Malik, Russian, representative at the United Nations, but warned the House of Commons that "In view of the failure of previous attempts, any undue optimism would be unwise."
"We welcome what we hope| 1 may be an Indication that the Soviet Government is now dis- posed to support the efforts: which we and other members of the United Nations have been to bring the fighting to
