"ALLIES & FRIENDS"

United Nations, Mar. 2.

The Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr Andrei Vyshinsky, today called for an end of the Korean war "irrespective of who began it, who supplied the weapons", but he had no new proposals for solving the deadlock.

In a 90-minute speech, he referred the General Assembly's Political Committee to the Polish peace resolu- tion, rejected by the General Assembly last November in favour of India's resolution, which the Soviet group turned down.

A crowded committée room heard Mr Vyshinsky's answer to the American delegate, Mr Henry Cabot Lodge, who charged last week that Russia helped the aggressors in Korea.

The Soviet Minister declared: Not only do we want the war to come to an end, we propose it.

"Irrespective of who began it, who supplied the weapons, let us put an end to it now."
