Mission's Return
(Our Own Correspondent)
London, June 11.
Mr Anthony Eden gave a broad hint in the House of Commons this afternoon that after the return of the present ministerial mission to the Far East, Britain would seek to establish a joint United Nations Command for Korea.
The British Foreign Secretary said in answer to a question that the matter was under consideration but he did not want to say anything about it until Lord Alexander and Mr Selwyn Lloyd' return.
He spoke of the prospect of an "integrated UN Com- mand on the same lines as the Atlantic Pact Command."
FRANCE DESIRES
Mr Eden did not conceal his adverse opinion of either Dr Syng- 4-POWER TALKS
man Rhee or the disorders at Koje Island. He was asked by Mr Christopher Hollis, Conservative MP, where is the responsibility for maintaining order in Korea with the military or with the South Korean civil authorities?
Sald Mr Eden: "That is a dum- cult question to answer! Last April authority was, handed over to the South Koreans, It is their | responsibility.'
