COMMENT OF THE DAY

MR

Mr Vyshinsky's Latest

R Vyshinsky has lost no time in launching the Kremlin's 1952 pro- paganda and war of nerves campaign. His proposal yesterday to the United Nations Political Committee now meet- ing in Paris that the Collective Mea- sures Committee be abolished and that the Security Council consider ways and means of bringing an end to the hosti- lities in Korea has little or nothing to commend itself. It is a curious sugges- tion that the Security Council, on which neither Communist China nor

the North Korean regime can be directly represented, should be able to accom- plish more than negotiators on the spot in the way of bringing about an armis- tice. And there can be no wider and more permanent settlement of the Koren problem until a cease-fire has been arranged by the protagonists. Furthermore, as Mr Vyshinsky is un- doubtedly only too well aware, there is no hope of Security Council resolutions being made effective while the veto exists, and the Soviet representative would continue, as in the past, to be the first to apply the veto to any pro- posals which did not measure up to his ideas. The Kremlin, It is appreciated, is smarting under the decision reached last year to transfer any political settle- ment of the Koren, war to the General Assembly, where the veto cannot operate, and much of the intention be- hind Me Vyshinsky's latest proposal is to restore the subject to the Security Council where the Soviet bloe do not -mind very much if they are outvoted because they can apply, the crippling veto. Another objective appears to be to embarrass the negotiators at Fan Mun Jom, who would not find it easy – to reach nureement on armlelice' condi- flank while simultaneous discussions

were going on in Paris at which the Russians would introduce all the com- plex political issues inevitably associat- ed with a permanent solution of the Korea problem. The world outside So- viet Russia is now fully aware that the Kremlin's only interest in the Korea conflict is to be able to exploit it for the furtherance of Soviet policy. Russia cares not whether peace is restored in Korea except insofar as it would serve the Kremlin's interests. It is, there- Mr fore, of some significance that Vyshinsky yesterday should inject into his speech accusations that the United States are facilitating the transporta- tion of Chinese Nationalist troops to Burma and Southern China.

More-

over he attached to the allegation a warning that this could well result in a repetition of Korea. The inference is that the Kremlin is going to turn more of its attention to Indo-China. But the active assistance of Chinese Communist forces would be required to give substance to any plan which the Kremlin may have conceived for a new political and military enterprise in Southeast Asin and these are not likely to be forthcoming while the Peking Government's armies are committed in Korea. It would be sensible, therefore, not to divorce Mr Vyshinsky's propo sale for trying to speed a settlement of the Koren war from his "warning" of the danger of a similar conflict break- ing out in Southeast Asia. He clearly Intended them to bear some relation- ship. What has yet to be shown is whether the speech represents but en-

Sea Captain's Bravery Stirs Britain

KURT CARLSEN HERO

OF THE MOMENT

Our Own Correspondant

London, Jan. 4. Captain Kurt Carlsen - ending the sixth night alone on the crippled ship Flying Enterprise adrift in the Atlantic - has by popular acclaim become Britain's hero of the moment.

Stories of his bravery are appearing in every newspaper edition. Some of them like this one from today's (Friday's) Daily, Express - tell of his past exploits at sea.

The Express story relates how one night in 1947 on board ship in the Far East Captain Carlsen saved the life of a fellow officer who had been attacked by a dope-maddened coloured seaman,

The officer was slashed nine times. Arteries in each of his arms were severed. There was a deep wound in his thrust and many smaller cuts.
