GENERAL JUIN

General's

The visit of Lord Alexander, Britain's Defence chief to the Korean Sensational

battle areas and then to Tokyo, where he conferred with America's Com- mander-in-Chief in the Far East, General Mark Clark, was designed to achieve these things:

1. To provide Clark with what he, at present conspicuously lacks a set of reliable advisers on, political aspects of the Korean campaign which would enable the United Nations to avoid getting into the present row with recalcitrant Syngman Rhee, President of the Republic of South'

Korea.

2. Give Clark a real liaison with British thinking about the war and to notify him in objective terms of foresee able British reaction to such events as the decision to bomb hydro-electric' plan ts along the Yalu River. General Clark, as a professional soldier, is understandab ly handicapped by not having such ad- vico available to him on the spot.

8. Lord Alexander pressed for the setting-up of another field headquarters separate from that of General James Van Fleet, Commander of UN forces in the field.
