Vyshinsky Looks For Face Saving Way Out Of Korea

New Foreign Policy Hint

London, Oct. 15.

Britain's diplomats are more or less convinced now that the Russians are looking for a face-saving way out of their predicament in Korea. However, that is a long way from Russia being willing to sit down and make a "just and lasting" peace or even agreeing to a truce in the cold war.

The Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr Andrei Vyshin- sky, has given the tip-off on what Russia seems to be looking for now. He has been showing off the "new look" at the United Nations for a month and last week he came right out and snid it let's go back

KOREANS' COAST THRUST

Tokyo, Oct. 16. American troops reported new gains today in their drive on the North Korean capital of Pyongyang and the South Koreans thrust to within 20 miles of the Hamhung-Hungnam industrial centre on the cast coast--the second remaining major objective of the United Nations forces,

A front dispatch said the United States First Cavalry Division, striking out from captured Namchongjom, ripped 1,000 yards through the groggy Communists along the main Seoul- Pyongyang highway to reach a point about 52 miles southeast of the Red capital. At 3 p.m. on Sunday the cavalrymen were still advancing.

On the east coast the South Korean Capital Division drove into Chowan, only 20 miles south of the twin industrial cities of Hambung and Hungnam rfter an eight-mile advance, another front dispatch reported.

NOT TOO CERTAIN

Blueprint For New Nation

to he expected that the South Koreans would object to the UN Interim Committee's decision' to apply restrictions of authority to Mr Syngman Rhee and his colleagues, and. if they insist on taking the narrow view, the South Kurenns may begin to wonder wind all the recent struggle has been about. But the Committee's direction is based on the overall proposals for the permanent future of Koren which the United States. has recently worked out. These pro- posals are eminently sound, embracing principles to which most of the members of the United Nations are commilled and which are in line with both the Charter and the Assembly declarations on Karen. The first proposal, that there should be a free, independent and united Korea, menns an end the monstrosity of the division at the Thirty-eighth Parallel This boun- dary was always purely artificial, it was never recognised by the Koreans them. selves or by the United Nations, and should not be recognised now. To suggest nny sort of truce that would in effect restore this line would merely perpetuste the condition that has been In part responsible for the present tragedy. To help in the creation of this free and united nation it is further proposed there should be a strong United Nations Korean Cont.) mission. That also makes sense. The 1 United Nations can give more prestige to the body that represents it in the Far East by increasing its responsibilities. The first task of this strengthened commission would be to supervise free elections by which the Korean people could establish a Government of their own clear choosing. There is already such a Government in existence for two-thirds of the people of Koren and it is recognised by the United Nations as the only legitimate Government In the country. For the immediate future, therefore, it would seem obvious that the only elections required are those in the northern part of the peninsula, where United Nationa observers were not previously admitted, Tho recognised Government of Korea has reserved one hundred seats in the Assembly for duly

elected members from the North, and those seats should be filled by elections under United Nattuns observation. When con-

ditions permit, all of a reunited Korea

should go to the pulls in a new election. United Nations military furces should be kept in the field to assure the opportunity for a free choice at the polls, but it will he desirable that they be withdrawn as soon as possible thereafter. The fourth item in the American proposals is a plan of large reconstruction and rehabilitation the responsibility of the United Nations. This is imperative. The damage that has been done to all of the cities and most of the towns of the country is very great.

This is a burden that the United Nations should willingly and cheerfully assume in the interest of justice to the Koreans and in the interests of pence. The United States is suggesting, further, that no single nation should be dominant in the pesce settlement. That should be obvious enough, but there wil be Communist charges that the United Siates, or some other Power, wishes to set up a "puppet" state in Koren. The best answer to that is not to have a puppet state of any kind but an independent nation in which no external Power hus any sort of special pusition. These pro- posals add up to the programme that the United Nations has repeatedly endorsed for Korea. They mean a free and united country. They moan an end to any sort of "puppet" regimes. They mean govern ment for Korenns that is of their own choosing and with their full consent.' If such n solution can emerge from the
