The Foreign Secretary, Mr Anthony Eden, said tonight that Britain saw no early end to the fighting in Korea and he charged that the Soviet Premier, Mr Josef Stalin, was not sincere when he declared recently that Russia wanted to help to end the war there.
Mr Eden went on the air for a nation-wide broadcast that contained the hardest hitting and most bitter attack the usually soft-spoken diplomat ever has made against the Soviet Union and her satellites whom he branded as butchers and popu- lated by machines, not men.
