Tokyo, July 8.
At a six-hour meeting held under the stiff rulos of icy Mossadegh military politeness, United Nations and Communist negotiators agreed in Kaesong to open formal Korean truce talks. Neither side carried weapons in the palatial private mansion where the talks were conducted, but there was no exchange of courtesies and there was no handshaking or saluting.

COMMENT OF THE DAY
Colonel Andrew Kinney, Air Force officer from Atlanta, Georgia, who headed the Allied team, reported later that he considered his mission a "one hundred per cent success." His job was to write the foreword to a chapter in history to clear the way for senior negotiators to take over formal cease-fire talks and to arrange the date and place, communications and means of transportation. That he did in the first non-belligerent meeting of the Allies and Communists since the Korean war started.
There were "plenty of disagreements" he conceded later, but they were "surmounted."
A special communique at 8 p.m. ended a day of suspense and ten- sion that began at 8.50 a.m., when two green helicopters rose from a field north of Seoul, windmilled across the Imjin River and disappeared in a haze over Kaesong.

First Hurdle Cleared
THE comparative ease with which the That obstacle in the taxito bringing
or
about a successful truce in Kores has been surmounted during the weekend gives rise to cautious encouragement that the preliminary discussions will be consolidated during the next three a military four days and that armistice will be effected. A great deal will depend on whether the Communists attempt or insist
upon introducing political conditions into the negotiations at this stage. The immediate agree- ment to be reached is of a strictly military nature and can deal only with the terms for ending hostilities, and the redeployment of the opposing forces in such a way as to ensure that the armis- tice is respected. The wider issues of how the future of Korea shall be stabilised, of whether there should again exist a line of demarcation between North and South Korea, of whether and how the country shall be politically unified must be left to subsequent conferences. The Immediate project is to bring about a mutually satisfactory cessation to the fighting in
Korea. When this has been accomplished the door is at least open to discussions on. how to achieve a permanent and honourable peace. Mr Attlee, a states- man who chooses his words carefully, sees the possibility of a new era of world peace emerging from the latest develop- ments in Korea. This may be expecting. a little too much. Nevertheless there does appear to exist grounds for believing that Russia, having tested the military and moral strength of the United Nations through her satellites in Korea, has decided that the United Nations is not to be trifled with. It is not to be gainsaid that the UN forces in Korea have won military and moral victories of far-reaching importance and that UNO has demonstrated its solidity of purpose in its resistance of will armed aggression. The world await the next few days anxiously, but nonetheless hopefully. The opportunity for resolving the Korea problem has arisen, and if it can be successfully exploited, it may well be that a new era of peace will be realised.
The Japanese Peace Treaty
"
is now virtually certain that the majority of the nations which fought Japan in World War II will sign a peace treaty with the defeated coun- try at San Francisco early in September. The initiative throughout has been taken by the United States, which is entirely understandable, but the feeling exists that Washington has, at the same time, rushed many of the war- time allies into action somewhat against their better judgment. In the last analysis, however, importanco rests not on when a peace treaty shall be what constitutes its concluded, but principal. provisions. And here, the general public at the moment, has little or no knowledge. Britain has expressed fears that the treaty will present Japan with too easy a chance of becoming n successful competitor as a morcantile
that nation, and
her productiva industries, already given a tremendous. filip in consequence of the Korea war, will be able to go forward even more rapidly with the aid of cheap labour, and to oust the Commonwealth from vital markets. Tho final draft of the treaty, drawn up by Mr Foster Dulles and his assistants, is about to receive the formal approval of most of Japan's former enemies, but judgment on the proposed pact must be withheld until the text is made public. A fair treaty will generally be acceptable, but out- spoken criticism is inevitablo if the terms offer to Japan unfair advantages in the fold of industry and commerce at the expense of the countries of tho free world who helped to win World War IL:
