Scarborough, Sept. 30.

Britain's Labour Party today declared that its first aim was to

Its election manifesto made public on the eve of the Party con- ference here said, "We do not for one moment accept the view that a third world war is inevitable."

The Socialists said that they would base their appeal to the nation on October 25 on four major tasks:

COMMENT OF THE DAY

THE

Reds Must Now Decide

HE unqualified support which General Omar Bradley has given to General Ridgway's refusal to continue cense-fire negotiations at Kaesong, and his alternative suggestion that agree- ment be reached on a new site gives undisguised notice to the Communists that they must decide whether they will resume truce talks or be responsible for their final breakdown. The existing stalemate achieves nothing. If the Communists imagined it would permit them to gain and consolidate strategical military advantages these expectations have been set at nought by General Van Fleet's vigorous summer campaign which, in official parlance, has put the Apart from a Reds "off balance." certain amount of radio propaganda, the Communists have remained silent General Ridgway's for five days on proposal that cease-fire discussions be resumed at a spot other than Kaesong. This may well mean that the Reds, fully conscious of the far-reaching effect of their reply are seeking a top level directive. If they flatly reject the Ridgway proposal it can have only one result a full-scale UN military offen- sive intended to force the Reds into Bubmission., So far as the Allles are- concerned, Kaesong as a conference site is now out of the question!, It is conceivable, however, that the Com- munista could submit an alternative meeting place acceptable to the UN Command. It would have to be whore the Reds and the Allies shared equal control and was wholly neutral. General Ridgway considers that Songlyonni, in no-nun's-land, fulfils these conditions, although it la possible there are other. equally neutral areas. Lurking behind the dispute over the conference site, however, is an unknown factor-the Communists' desire to help bring about a cease-fire and later a political armistice. The Allies have waited a long-time (and -86-far vainly) for signs that the Reds auriously

wish for a liquidation of the Korea conflict based on mutual agreement. The present challenge-either to accept or suggest an alternative site to Kaesong-may go some way towards giving substance to the Communists' real intentions. If they remain adamant in their stand for talks to be resumed at Kaesong their good faith will no longer be acceptable. They can go some way toward preserving it by agreeing to General Ridgway's

proposal. Another question remains. It is, whether the Communists can afford a complete breakdown in truce talks. General. Van Fleet's appraisal of the military situation introduces a new element. He claims (and so far as we know it is not idle boast) that the UN forces could have advanced to the Yalu in their Spring offensive, and that they are still in a position to do so if a full offensive were ordered. This can have only one meaning: that the Communist armies in North Korea are vulnerable to yet another incisive defeat; that at the best they could only retire to the sanctuary of Manchuria. The Com- munist high command can hardly avoid the obvious: that militaristically they are now incapable of staging an offen- sive that has any hope of definite achievement. Their losses in manpower been have already and material prodigious. They have; therefore, very much more to gain by genuinely ́striving for a truce on fair conditions. If wisdom prevails in the Communist higher councils, the Reds will eithor agree to General Ridgway's proposal. for resuming cease-fire talks 'at Songhyonni, or will make a counter proposition that can be accepted by the UN Command. Failure to do either will finally confirm the Communists' insincerity in the question of truco discussions, and will probably bring, results which they will have good causo to regret.
