the world would be at peace today,
5usily rebuilding and progressing
were it not for expansionist Russia
and it's utilization Of world com
munism as an instrument Of sub
version and Soviet imperialist ag-
gression.
Prime Minister Nehru Of India
has aptly branded the dastardly
assault on the Korean Republic as
a "well-planned invasion" and de-
clared that if this high-handed ag-
gression were permitted to succeed,
the entire structure Of the United
Nations would inevitably collapse
and a large-scale war would fol-
low. Indeed, 81 member nations Of
the LIMITATIONS Of every contin-
ent, CLINE, color and creed-have
banded together to halt this bar
barous aggression.
The war now being waged by the
UN in Korea is a life-and-death
struggle to hold back and check
the most sinister aggressive power
of all time.
The Bolshevik dictatorship Of to-
day has picked up where Czarist
Imperialism has left off in respect
not only to Korea but to all Asia
as well. In the midst of the Sec
ond World War, the Kremlin sold
to the japanese oppressors and
plunderers of the Korean people
its railroad interests in Manchuria.
This sale was Of great aid to the
Nipponese marauders in maintain
ing their deadly grip in Korea and
continuing their savage exploita-
ton of the Korean people.
In 1887, the Stain regime ruth
lessly uprooted and brutally de-
ported several hundred thousand
Soviet citizens of Korean origin
from the Siberian Maritime Pro-
vince to the interiors Of Uzbekistan
and Kazakhstan in Central Asia.
Thousands were purged and exter-
minated while other thousands OF
the Korean youth were turned into
fanatic fighters to be slaughtered
as North Koreans" in the savage
conflict now raging.
For many years before Pearl
Harbor, America befriended and
generously aided the Korean ma
tional independence movement and
its courageous underground fight
ers. The moment our country de-
feated the Nipponese imperialists,
we proceeded to help the Korean
people by providing them with
more than $25O,OO0,O00 of food,
caw materials, fertilizer and ma
:hinery. This American aid went
nto every part of the country-ex-
:ept north of the 38th Parallel
where the Russian army of occupa-
lion prevented every endeayor to
rescue the people from hunger,
poverty and disease.

Russia's present armed hostility
20 the UN is only an aggravated
extension of its old enmity. Mos
3ow had much to hide. 1t was pro-
noting fierce persecution of the
democratic and free trade union
forces in its occupied area and ar
ranging for the imposition of the
North Koreans of brutal dictator
ship manipulated by Russ a.
Throughout this period, our coun-
try was cooperating Loyalty with
the UN and exerting all its influ-
ence and resources to secure just
land redistribution, fair taxation
and a genuinely progressive regime
in free Korea.
The issue now being settled on
the battlefields Of Korea involves
the fate and future of all mankind.
All human decency, liberty and
world peace are gravely menaced.
If Russian despotism = Bolshevik
barbarism - should triumph, then
the clock Of mankind's progress
will be set back for many centuries.
