Impossible To Limit Collective Action

WASHINGTON, MAY 28.

PRESIDENT EISENHOWER SAID "NO" TODAY TO SENATOR ROBERT TAFt's suggestION THAT THE UNITED STATES "GO IT ALONE” IN KOREA IF TRUCE NEGOTIA- TIONS FAIL.

In his bluntest public difference with Mr Taft since becoming President, Mr Eisenhower rejected the Senate Re- publican leader's theory that the United States should "forget the United Nations as far as the Korean war is concerned" if truce negotiations broke down.

"If you are going to go it alone one place you, of course, have to go it alone everywhere," the President told his news conference.

The President warned the newsmen that any discussion of foreign relations on his part might lead to a long lecture but since the question had been raised he would talk about

He said that he had had years of experience with coalitions and realised that there were certain occasions where action by one nation or one authority might be better. But he said that co-operative action could not be limited to selected parts of the globe.
