BY the Associated Press

PAH1S, Dec. 1.-Ihe united
States today asked United Ma
tionS protection for the republic
of Korea against threats of vio-
lence and terror from Commu-
nist-dominated North Korea.
John Foster Dulles. acting chair
man of the American delegation
told the Political Committee U. N.
members should show solidarity
with the newly formed but already
threatened government of the Re-
public of Korea"
Mr.. Dulles. first speaker in the
long-delayed Korean debate, also
blasted Russia, Poland and Czecho-
.slovakia for giving recognition to
the regime of North Korea.
Russian delegates already have
served indirect notice that they will
do their utmost to bar Assembly ac-
ton on, Korea in the five working
days left mere.
Reds Threat Cited.
Mr.. Dulles declared the Communist
regime in North Korea asserts pre-
tentions to govern the entire coun-
try and threatens to back those pre-
tentions with force and violence.
Already it has melted acts of ter
rorism and cruelty that shock all
decent people" he said Yet that
regime. born in obscurity, in def
ance of the United Nations has
been recognized by three member
states: The Soviet Union, Czecho-
slovakia and Poland, and is, it
seems. supported morally and ma
terially by the forces in North
Korea of the Soviet Union"
The Korean case came up yester-
day, but the entire day was spent in
an unsuccessful Soviet attempt 70
get the committee to invite repre-
sentatives of North Korea to the
debate. The committee did invite
representatives of the republic of
Korea to take part.
Mr.. Dulles said the U. N. should
approve the government of the re-
public, which was set up under
auspices of the U. N. Korean Com
mission. He urged the committee
to approve the joint Americana
tralian-Chinese resolution backing
the republic
Withdrawal Is Urged.
DR.. Dulles called on the U. N. t.
continue commission to help thu
new government end the wartim,
military occupation.
There ought to be an observed
withdrawal of occupation forces from
all Korea as soon as practical" HI
said. And that withdrawal shoule
be a reality so complete and thor.
Fough that in fact the Korean people
are truly masters in their own home
and not ruled or terrorized by ele.
meats that take their orders from
without"
Mr.. Dulles did not mention a date
for withdrawal of troops. The Rus.
SLAMS have announced they are tax.
Ing their troops out of the northern
zone by next January !.
Korea now is divided along the
36th parallel. The Soviet occupation
zone is in the north and the Amer.
lean zone in the south.
Mr.. Dulles said the United States
believes the U. N. commission could
help the Korean people reunite.
Using Greece as an example, he

impose their will. He added there
lis danger that these efforts will be
supported by neighboring Commu-
mist regimes.
Show of Solidarity Asked.
The presence of a U. N. commits
sion will deter organized violence.
Mr.. Dulles said
He closed with plea for the non-
Communist governments in the U.
N. to show through the world body
a moral solidarity with those sub
jected to threats of violence.
1T may be that the greatest serv-
ice the U. NJ can render is to be an
Iinstrumentality for demonstrating
that whenever these methods are
used or threatened internationally
the rest of the world community
CLOSES ranks to prevent the success
of these methods by whatever peace
tul means are available, either to the
/ U N as an organization or to men,
ber states acting pursuant to the
charter" Mr. Dulles said.
IF that happens, then it may be
learned that the use of force, coer-
cion, terrorism and violence to
achieve international objectives has
consequences such that those meth
ods cease to be expedient.
That, in turn, may lead all the
member nations to respect their
charter undertaking to refrain in
! their international relations from
ithe threat or use of force. Therein
lies in my opinion the greatest hope
of peace"
