Mr. Acheson declares that the United States is proud of playing the leading part in the Korean war. Has he thought, in this connexion, of how the nations of Asia look upon this role of the United States, how they look upon the fact that the members of a small and heroic nation of Asia are dealt with as inferior members of the human race, whom American soldiers contemptuously call “gooks”, regardless of whether they come from the north or the south of Korea? Mr. Acheson is proud of the American bombs, of the mass barbarism, and of this war that is being fought in gross violation of all the rules of international law.
