commitments of the armis- tice are now in the course of being carried out by both sides. If this was the sum total of the Korean prob- lem its early solution could be confidently forecast. But aliend lles the political conference, tho
express purpose and functions of which have yet to bo defined. While the parties who formulated the armis- tice plan clearly intended that this conference should explore the question of the future of Korea and endeavour to reach ៥០ agreement on measures for bringing about its unifica- tion, rehabilitation and political stability, tho possibility of the dis- cussions being broadened to include related Far East problems has not been ruled out. The position may become clarifled when the United Nations General Assembly meets in the middle of next month. The political conference must have an approved agenda and the General Assembly is probably the most suit- able body to draw it One difliculty, however, is that Communist China is nut directly represented on the Assembly,

BRITAIN'S ATTITUDE

London, July 28.
IS
Britain will wait to see whether Communist China shows signs of wanting a genuine settlement of Eastern problems before giving renewed backing to Peking's claim for admission to the United Nations Organisa- tion, an authoritative source here said today.
The British Government, which has recognised the Peking Govern- ment and in the past has pressed for her membership of the United Nations, is explaining her present attitude in current consultations with the United States. These consultations, designed to achieve a common Anglo-American approach to the Korean political conference and the United Nations debate on August 17, are being conducted through the diplomatic channel.
Britain switched from support of Communist China's admission
to the United Nations to abstention on the question in the General Assembly after Chinese "volunteers" entered the Korean war on North Korea's side.
The British Government still holds that world recognition of the Peking regime the East. requisite to a lasting peace in

subjects the

Moreover, it is a line which can expect to receive the support of Soviet Russia and the rest of the Com- munist bloc in the General Assembly. One prospect, therefore, is that the Com munists in the Assembly will, attempt to confuse the main issues on which the Korean political conference should devote its attention with other subjects of much "Wider implication and significanec.
