London, July 16.

KUM RIVER LINE Three-Pronged Korean Attack Menacing Defence Position

OUTFLANKING ATTEMPT

Tokyo, July 16.

As tired-eyed G.I.'s fighting grimly to hold the Kum River line in Korea today beat back combined infantry, artillery and mortar attacks against their last ditch positions, the overall picture seemed that the North Koreans were trying to outflank the Americans at the western end of their line and making a vigorous bid to drive a wedge between Americans and South Koreans on the eastern side.

Long columns of Northern Korean armour, artillery and supporting vehicles were spotted moving up to the front held by the Americans on two lines from the junction town of Changchowon. One prong, of guns, troops and tanks, was seen sweeping towards Ansong in a movement

E comment, if one were veeded, on the

Communist peace campaign. Nono reallses this more

than the Communists them- selves. Both the newspapers of Moscow and the Soviet radio stations have been worklag overtime in ло attempt to establish that the South Koreans were the aggressors, that the United States is war- mengering and that the resolutions of the Security Council are illegal. Unless this rillealously false version of the facts quickly gains credence, if not in the world at large, at least in the Eastern bloc, the Russian peace campaign will be entirely discredited among all but zealots and eccentrics. The Kremlin's ociat pence line has been, therefore, widened to include the "Hands Off Korea" slogan. The Appeal of Stockholm as the peace campaign is called, because it was adopled by the World Committee of the Partisana of Peace at iis congress in Stockholm in March, contained two clauses. It demanded the absolute prohibition of the atom homb and it required that the government which first used it should be branded as a war criminal. It is well known, of course, that the Partisans of Peaco Committee is one of the many organisations used by Moscow to pursue its purposes. Tho principal nim of the "Appeal" is to persuade the world that Soviet polky is Peneo was one of peace. It is not new. one of the magic words with which lealn come to power in 1917. But who belleven that the Communist aim is sincere, that Russia is not exploiting the idea of peace In the interests of world revolution? How- ever, whatever the intentions of its pro- appeal bas moters, the Stockholm apparently had some degree of success

the work. No significance is likely to be attached to the support given to it by the peoples behind the Iron Curtain. The majority of these who signed it in Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakin were probably only dis playing the wisdom of conformity. But indications are that thousands of people in Western Europe signed it who were not Communists. Five million signatures were collected in France, including those of many prominent artisis, writers und lawyers. The reason is probably not difficult to flnd. The iden of peace nalurally has an almost irresistible force for human beings, as the fourteen men in the Politburo well know. Many obviously have signed the Stockholm appeal without looking to the motives behind it, in a genuine hope that it might prevent another war. They are not open to criticism; if you look askance, it must be at the Soviels for committing such an abuse of confidence. But Moscow's "peace cam palgn" has not been successful in all parts of Europe. In the Brkish 1stes, was virtually ignored, following the Government's condemnation of the nctivities of "peace rackets." The attempt to carry the East German peace front campaign Into Western Germany has been equally unsuccessful, especially sinco Herr Ulbricht, the puppet premier, slyned away German territory in agreeing to the Oder-Neisso frontier with Poland. In Italy, Count Sforza showed his oplaton by refusing permission for delegates to allend a world congress of the Partisans of Peace at Genon.
