FULL-SCALE TRUCE TALKS
Tokyo, Oct. 10.
The Communist High Command on Wednesday proposed an immediate resumption of the Korean cease-fire talks at the Red-held village of Pan Mun Jom.
The Red leaders suggested the question they raised of extending the neutral zone to include the Allied (Ad- vance) Truce Headquarters at Munsan be reserved for discussion by the truce delegations later.
The Allies have objected to such an extension of the zone.

The official British Government statement was issued in the name of the Foreign Secretary, Mr Herbert Morri- son, after a day of conferences at the Foreign Office. Mr Morrison said that the Egyptian Prime Minister, Nahas Pasha, had been informed by personal message September 21 that a new Western proposal was forth- coming shortly, aimed at satisfactory solution of the dis- pute over Britain's position in Egypt. The new proposal to Egypt was understood to propose:

COMMENT OF THE DAY
THE
An Inescapable Issue
HE big question mark against the tentative agreement for Communist and UN liaison officers to meet today at Pan Mun Jom is whether it is likely to pave the way for new and definite pro- gress in the quest for an armistice arrangement in Korea. There have beep so many previous promises and so litle fulfilment that it is necessary to be cautious in estimating the possibilities of achievement. That the Communists, in part, have accepted General Ridgway's latest proposals for resumption of talks, indicates that they wish to leave the door open for further negotiations. They have not agreed, in toto, to the UN Commander's sugges tions, but they have advanced an alternative proposal with which General Ridgway' can concur in principle. 'Encouragement derived from the fact that the Reds have agreed to abandon Kassong as the conference site, but this, in itself, does not necessarily mean the two parties can settle down immediately to working out cease-fire arrangements. Much depends on the degree of emphasis which the Communists intend to place on their conception of the size of the
cen
be
neutral zone and how it is to be jointly controlled. The Communists are so given to double talk that it is hard to tell just what they are really trying to do, or what they have in mind. The South Koreans are suspicious that the Reds' proposal to extend the neutral zone, to bring it into contact with Allied-held territory, is merely an attempt to improve the enemy's military position. General Ridgway does not appear to be so concerned about this. Manifestly, however, no tangible advance can be made in actual cease-fire talks until the question of a suitable neutral zone has been mutually and satisfactorily settled. The UN Command is more preoccupied with the necessity of equally sharing the rights and responsibilities of control. The enlarged neutral zone envisaged by the Communists could conceivably be acceptable to General Ridgway provided his other conditions are met. This has become a major and inescapable issue, and one which General Ridgway must see resolved before he can permit his representatives, to discuss the solid details of an armistice.
There Must Be No Backing Down THE British Government has
refused to recommise Egypt's. unilateral abrogation of the 1986 treaty, and has proclaimed that. Britain will stay in the Suez Canal zone and in the Sudan "until satisfactory Middle East defence arrangements are made." This la a proper attitude to adopt, but it is forvently, to be hoped that this time the Government means what it says, and that there will be no painful repetition of the Abadan evacuation. It e notable that the official statement refers to Middle East defence arrange ments, suggesting that Britain is con- fident of the fullest American support in the new Anglo«Egyptian crisis. The
United States has decided to identify itself with a comprehensive.scheme for ensuring that Middle East defences shall be adequate for the needs of the times. Egypt is one of the key countries coming within the framework of this master-plan, and it la Imperative that the Suez Canal zone defences should be strengthened and not weakened. It is right that the Egyptian Government be given the opportunity of freely participating in the scheme, but not at Any dishonourable price to Britain and her contractual rights in Suer and the Sudan. There must be no giving of ground on thin lume i
