What Are Intentions?

VIII that regime pledge itself
to accept a peaceful settlement OF
the question, or does 1t intend
to risk the grave disturbance OF
international peace and security by
a war-like act?
| The United Nations objectives in
the Far East, as everywhere in the
world, are to maintain international
peace and security. The United
Nations way with disputes is to seek
every means of settling them peace.

ticn, and agreement by negotiation
But the United Nations is not te

The Chinese Communist regime
by its action as well as by its state
ments, has caused grave doubts tt
arise in the minds of people all
over the world. What the United
Nations now seeks is an assurance
of the peaceful intent of the regime
at Peiping. More important thar
that assurance, it seeks deeds which
will demonstrate that its intent
is genuine.
Only If these deeds are forthcom.

always been the enemies of the

lessly the American imperialists
claim to be friends of the Chinese
people, the historical record which
distinguishes friend from foe can
not be altered.
Members Of the Security Coun-
Gil, American Imperialism has
taken the place of Japanese i'm
perialism. It is now following the
old track of aggression against
China and Asia on which Jap
anese imperialism set forth in
1894-95, only hoping to proceed
with greater speed. But. after all
1850 is not 1895: the times have
changed, and so have the circum-

command of Macarthur for the

departure from Taiwan for Japan
on August /, Macarthur openly
declared:
Arrangements have been COM
pleted for effective coordination

And this is what Chang Kai-
Shek said:
Agreement has been reached
between Gen. Macarthur and my
self on all the problems discussed
in the series of conferences held
in the past two days. The foun-
dation for a joint defense of For

In league with it's puppet,

clique, the United States Govern
ment. which has invaded and oc-
cupied Taiwan, thus casts the
guantlet of war before the Chinese
people.
Pretext for Aggression charged.
The creation of civil war in
Korea by the United States Gov
ernment was designed solely to
furnish a pretext for launching
armed aggression against Korea
and against our territory, Taiwan.
and for Tightening its control in
Viet-nam and in the Philippines
Clearly, in carrying out aggres-
sion simultaneously against Korea
and Taiwan under the pretext of
the Korean civil war which was
of it's own making, the United
States Government has vastly ex-
tended the scale of the Korean
war. The series of provocations
following the aggression against
Korea and Taiwan by the United
States armed forces have fully
proved this point. The United
States Government is carrying
the flames of aggressive war Ito
China according to plan.
Far from localizing it, this is on
the contrary extending the Korean
war. The Chinese people have con-
sistently supported all proposals
| for the peaceful settlement of the
Korean question and for genuinely
localizing the Korean war. The
Chinese people also fervently hope
for security in the Pacific area.
But the Korean war has been ex-
tended and security in the Pacific
has been shattered.

Three Demands Made.

To safeguard international
peace and security and to uphold
the sanctity Of the United Nations
Charter the United Nations Sc
curity Council has the inalienable
duty to apply sanctions against
the United States Government for
its criminal acts of armed ag-
gression on the territory of China,
Taiwan and armed intervention in
Korea. I. therefore. in the name
of the Central Peoples Govern
ment Of the Peoples Republic of
China. propose to the United Ma
tions Security Council.
/. That the United Nations Sc
curity Council openly condemn.
and take concrete steps to apply
severe sanctions against the
United States Government for its
criminal acts of armed aggression
against the territory of China.

2. That the United Nations Sc
curity Council Immediately adopt
effective measures to bring about
the complete withdrawal by the
United States Government of it's
forces OF armed aggression from
Taiwan, in order that peace and
security in the Pacific and in Asia
may be insured:
3. That the United Nations Sc
curity Council immediately adopt
effective measures to bring about
the withdrawal from Korea of the
armed forces Of the United States
and all other countries and to

ton of security in the Pacific, a
peace settlement with Japan, or
consideration by the United Ma
tlonS.
Obviously, there is a gaping void
between the facts as seen by most
of the world and the facts as
claimed by the authorities of Peiping.
One of our hopes is that from these
Security Council discussions will
come some measure of agreement
as to the facts, some understanding
by the representatives of the Chi
nese Communist regime of the aims
and purposes of the United Ma
t1onS.
Major Tenet of Policy.
The preservation OF China's ter
ritorial and administrative entity
has been a major tenet of American
policy ever since relations were
II 1t established between the two
governments in 1874 by the treaty
of Wanghia-more than $50 years
ago. The American record of sup
port to the Chinese government
against the imperialist pressures
of Russia and Japan is well
The purpose of the United States,
during the last half century, to aid
China in developing her independ-
ence, free from foreign control, and,
particularly. in maintaining the
stability of international relations
in the Far East has been demon
strated in the several alternating
attempts OF Russia and Japan to
violate the integrity of China in
Manchuria. -.
American friendship for China
also was shown by the large guam
titles Of economic aid given to
China. From 1887 to V-J day, the
United States sent to China eco
nomic aid valued at $670 million.
After the V-Jaday, 1t sent an adii-
tional 81 billion, 9 million In eco
nomic aid In other words, during
the past 13 years the United States
has sent aid to China at a rate
considerably greater than 500 mil
lion year. These figures do not
include lend-1eaSe and military aid.
They include only assistance and
commodities required for the recon-
struction of the r-devastated
economy Of China. They were COM
posed of such things as rice, cotton,
petroleum, ships, emergency relief
aid, industrial machinery, technical
assistance and so forth.
Meant Much to People.
Need say that such friendly as
sistance meant much to China and
the Chinese people? And 7 am
speaking of that vast number of
Chinese people-500 million of them.

Manpower Is Vital
Need, Truman Tells
Labor Conference
BY james Y. Newton

President Truman said today
that manpower for defense pro.
duction lis one of the Nations
most vital needs in our great eff.
fort for peace and against aggres-
Sion."
The President took cognizance
OF the unfavorable turn of the
Korean war, in message to the
17th National Conference on La
Dor Legislation. which began to.
day at the Departmental Audi
torium. Manpower for defense
production was to be the theme of

ers and labor union officials.
Mr.. Truman said that never
more than now is the cooperation
OF all the people needed If the
Nation is to meet the manpower
requirements of the military and
defense production programs.
Might Increase Work Week.
Secretary of Labor Tobin said
that II an all-out war effort be-
comes necessary, consideration
will be given to extending the
work week beyond the present 40
hours. He declared that he did
not think it was necessary for
workers to put in longer hours
under the present partial mobil-
ization program.
Mr.. Tobin declared the coun-
try's work force could be expanded
in the next year by 2 million
workers and still meet the armed
forces need for more men.
He said normal growth of the
labor force will add at least 50o,-
600 workers. Use of more young
workers, housewives and older
persons will add an additional is
million. the Secretary said.
Secretary Optimistic.
Mr.. Tobirl said an increase Of
one hour in the average work
week would be the equivalent Of
adding another 400, 900 workers to
the force.

manpower. the Secretary said,

not beyond our capacity"

told conference delegates that
present plans to build the defense
program on top of a high-level
civilian economy would tax the
Nations manpower resources to
the limit. But he, too, added that
he thought manpower needs Of
both military and civilian produc-
ton programs could be met.

that the people of Korea should be
free to choose their own future and
to control their own destinies.
That prospect was suddenly be-
clouded by the entrance into Korea
on large scale of Chinese Com
munist forces.
Did the Chinese Communists go
into Korea. as they allege in the
paper to which I called attention
yesterday, on a sentimental jour-
ney?
Soviet Influence.
The Chinese Communists know
what their influence in North Ko-
rea was in the ratio of one to SO
compared with Soviet influence
They know that the Peiping govern
ment had so little respect for the
North Korea regime as an inde-
pendent and sovereign government
that it refused to establish Chi
nese Communist embassy in Pyong-
yang until 10 July, 1850, after the
Peiping regime was established in
October, 1949. and the North Korean
regime had established an embassy
at Peiping in February. 1850.
In the circumstances, one asks
our visitors: Was the aggression
really in the interest of the Chinese
people, as has been proclaimed, OF
was it on behalf of the great Rus
sian power which has already
taken so many benefits away from
Manchuria at the expense of the
Chinese people?
Let us look at the recent history
of FormoSa. When the President of
the United States ordered United
States air and sea forces to sup
port the troops .of the Republic of
Korea, he pointed out that the ag-
gression upon the Republic of Ko-
rea endangered international peace
and security, and that sin these
circumstances, the occupation of
Formosa by Communist forces would
be direct threat to the security
of the Pacific area and to United
States forces performing their
necessary. and lawful functions in
that area"
Truth Plain to See.
How plain it is to see that that
was true. We see 1t clearly this
morning.
The President went on to say:
Accordingly, I have ordered the
7th Fleet to prevent any attack on
Formosa. AS corollary of this
action, I am calling upon the Chi
nese government on Formosa to
cease all air and sea operations
against the mainland. The 7th
Fleet will see that this is done. The
determination of the future status
OF Formosa must await the restora-

Gently has warned Western nations

The government ministers were
called together on short notice
after Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin had talked last night with
Julius Holmes, Minister of the
United States Embassy.
Talk With U. S. Minister.
Informed sources reported that
Atlee and Bevin saw Holmes to-
gether and handed him a written
QUESTIONABLE which called for
specific answers on a number OF
questions relating to the Korean
crisis.
The informants refused to dis
close details of the British =, ques-
tionnaire.
Attlee and Bevin reportedly
called for quick reply-presum-
ably so that they could be in a
position to convey information to
Parliament today.
Holmes, the sources said, pro-
duced the answers after consult
ing with Washington, for the
cabinet meeting this morning.
The informants reported that
the United States recently con-
suited Britain over request by
Gen. Macarthur for authority to
chase attacking Chinese Commu-
mist planes over the Manchurian
frontier.
brltain, IN pursuance of her
policy to avoid a full-scale mill
tary involvement with Red China
strongly opposed the request.
The U. N. commander asked
specifically for "the limited appli.
cation of the doctrine of hot pur-
suit" the informants said.
An atmospheer of depression
cloaked the British Foreign Office
today as result of the grave
turn OF events not only in Korea
but in Lake Success.
Bevin was expected to face a
barrage of questions in the Com
mons today, stemming from the
unrest being felt by all parties
here.
Press Gravely Concerned.
Europe's non-Communist press
voiced grave forebodings today
about Communist China's break
through in North Korea and de-
clared the international situation
has become considerably worse.

third world war over Korea.
A lengthy speech by Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Jacob A
Malik is expected in the Security
Council. The speech with the
subsequent translations may use
up the entire afternoon session.
The grave concern here over
Korean developments was height
ened by receipt of a communica-
ton from the U. N. Commission
for the Unification and Rehabili-
tation of Korea.
Statement Tells Of Ovation.
The statement said in part:

them. But now we are faced with
grave news and we have, of course,
Iconsidered it. We are maintain

lost sight Of our goal and we are

Although it appears unlikely a
showdown can be reached this
afternoon. the United States
wants the Security Council as
soon as possible to make a find
ing on American charges of Chi

Korea and thus put on record the

Austin Predicts Soviet Veto.
Making such a record is about
all a majority Of the Council can
hope to accomplish in view of
the expressed attitudes of the
Soviet and Chinese Red repre-
sentatives. The Chinese Com

no intention Of withdrawing from
Korea.
Chief United States Delegate
Warren R. Austin. in his speech
before the Council yesterday, fore
saw a probable Soviet veto of a
Six-power resolution demanding
that the Red soldiers of Mao

Despite the prospect of such a

On the instructions of the Gen.

 Highway Head Reports

Three new highway projects, the Turnagain Arm road, con- meeting Seward with Anchorage, the Sterling road down the west side of the Kenai peninsula, and the northern extension of the Alaska Highway to the gold min ing district at Fortymile and Eagle, were begun by the Alaska Road Commission during the past season, it was announced recent ly by Col. John Moves, highway commissioner.
 The Sterling road is now open. The road to Fortymile is at Nhe halfway point. The Turnagain Arm stretch is not scheduled for completion until 1851.
 Planned for next summer, in addition to work on highways already started and further paw ing on the Anchorage Fairbanks system, is the construction of 150 miles of road in Mckinley Park. The highway commissioner said this project would take several years to complete.
 Colonel Moves said it is plan ned, eventually, to pave all of Alaska's main-traveled roads. The program will cost. an estimated $45, 5,000,0 900 to complete.
