EACH SIDE BLAMES THE

FAILURE
Geneva, June 15.
The 19-nation Korean conference collapsed tonight with both the United Nations and the Communist side pinning the blame squarely on each other.
The Communists declared they wanted the seven-week- old talks on Korean unity to go on.
But the 16 United Nations Allies declared in a joint statement that this would serve "no useful purpose" so long as the Communists rejected the two fundamental principles of United Nations authority and free all Korean elections under
United Nations supervision.
They said they would now report back to the United Nations on the
51-day Geneva conference debate.
East and West admitted their failure on how to unite the war- ravaged peninsula after 51 days of wrangling in 15 plenary sessions of the full 19 nations and one secret meeting of the “inner seven”—-Britain, the United States, France, Russia, Communist China and North and South Korea.

16-NATION DECLARATION
Geneva, June 15.
The 16 non-Communist states at the Korean conference declared today that the Korean problem should be returned to the United Nations. The 16-nation declaration read at the 15th plenary session of the conference said that "as long as the Communist delegations reject the two fundamental principles which they (the United Nations Allies) con- sidered indispensable, it was superfluous to pursue the examination of the Korean question.".
