Exchange Of Pleasantries

DELIEF that the Sovi's persistent Dneedling of the Western world permits of any device or strategem short of a shooting war appears to be confirmed 10 some extent by Moscow's Note in response to the Truman challenge over Korea. It follows the set pattern in Communist diplomary, an attempt to fost the blame on other shoulders, a denial or responsibility, conspiracy or complacencs. bland assertion that traditional

relish for the idea of a war, at least not at a time not of her own choosing. Fents that the West might be confronted with a situation compelling resort to have visibly receded. The ley phrase of the Moscow Note is not concerned with apportionment of blame or the legality of the Security Council's decision impose military sanctions against North Korea. It lies in the words: The Soviet Government is adhering to the principle of the non-admission of interference by foreign Powers in the internal affairs of horen. That professes, presumably, to roundly condemn the United States for supporting South Korea's resistance to the calculated aggression of the North. Irut it niso conveys, what is vitally impor- tant, that the Soviet has no intention of direct partleination in the collision of forces. It is certainly a far cry from the ramour maliciously circulated in Hong- kong on Thursday morning for the pur-

pose of rigging the gold or share market, an event which has been repeated so often? recently that Special Branch activity needs to be encouraged and sharp penal- ties reserved for those to whom respon. sibility can be traced. Sprending alarm er despondency is a serious offence under Emergency Regulations, und in these days of grave politien! crisis, there is clear warrant for stern enforcement, particul- arly against those who are seeking to profit thereby. However, if the chances of Third World War have diminished, il does not follow that Josef Stalin will idly look on at the Korean scene, or entire- ly disregard President Truman's pro- protec. clamation, virtually, creating a torate or trusteeship over Formoso. The struggle in Koren today is in a most critical stuge and the Chou En-laj castiga. tion of the American decision to prevent the invasion of Taiwan indicates which way the wind is blowing, Absence of any evidence that Russlony are manning Korean tanks or planes does not mean that "diclator-advisers" are not closely engaged and are not daily receiving clear instruc- tions from Moscow. The American ad mission that the casualty toll among the Southern Koreans has been exceedingly high, and that large numbers are exhausted by ceaseless operations, allows no Hlusion that Soviet-American exchange of plen- santrica has averted disaster. The oftun- tion remains pregnant with possibilities, largely unpredictable. Every move in the game still requires most careful watching.
