Charge Of Aggression in
Korea 10 Be Made Against
Connie Regime in China

Warren r. Austin shortly before
today's UN. Security Council
meeting at New York. 1t was con-
sidered possible here that Austin
would make the aggression charge
publicly almost at once.
Aggression Charge
This is step which the American
government has heretofore re-
Trained from taking on the ground
that to charge any nation With
aggression might set in action an
extremely serious chain of events
since once an aggressor is so labeled
there is strong pressure to act
against him.
Hickerson instructed Austin to
press for immediate adoption by
the United Nations of the pending
U.N. resolution which would:
Cd Call on the Chinese Reds to
get their troops out of Korea.
CD Assure them the United Ma
lions seeks only peace and Korean
independence.
U.N. Action Demanded
Michael j. McDermott, State De-
partment press officer, said in a
statement that the intervention by
Chinese troops is aggression by
the Communist Chinese regime"
1.-THE United Nations should take
immediate action on the draft reso-
luton before Security Council"
McDermott said.
In response to question, he said
1--WE are prepared to charge them
with aggression"
Chinese Communists have been in
Northern Korea more than month.
During all that time. the United
States government has refrained in
statements before U.N., or even in
formal statements to the press,
from branding them as aggressors.
The charge is regarded by this
government as having a formal,
legalistic meaning = like charging
an individual with murder"

WASHINGTON = Judging from
conversation heard on Capitol Hill
cloakrooms, the current session of
Congress may approach the post
World War 1 days of Woodrow Will
son when it comes to dissension
over foreign policy.
1t will be recalled that in the
November. 1918, elections, Wilson
lost control of his House of Repre-
sentatives and from that time on
opposition to his foreign policies
increased, resulting finally in the
defeat of the League of Nations
and the Versailles Treaty. Many
leaders of both parties felt that
this injection of politics into foreign
policy paralyzed the nation and
paved the way for World War II.
On Capitol Hill today leaders
point to certain similarities be-
tween what happened then ana
what may happen today.
In November, 1918, for instance,
the United States was winning in
Europe. The Armistice was signed
on Nov. IL, just a few days after
the election, but Wilson lost any
way. In November, 1850, the United
States was likewise on the eve of
victory in Korea. Yet Truman,
though keeping scant margin in
Congress, tor all practical purposes
lost workable control Of the Sen
ate.

Macarthur described the situa-

extraordinary communique he ack-
noWedged he is powerless to cope
with the undeclared Chinese bef-
ligerents.
The Allied line was broken near
the center of the peninsula where
furious Red Chinese might attacks

Reds in their breakthrough poised
a threat to the former North Ko-

Army Driven Back
THE blunt truth is the army is
being driven back by an enemy
obviously much stronger than had
been estimated
Macarthur estimated the Chinese
have thrown 100000 men into the
Korean fighting. He added:
Heavy reinforcements now con-
centrated" across the border in
Manchuria are constantly moving
forward"
100000 Reds Massed
Allied intelligence has estimated
there are 100000 Red Chinese troops
massed in Manchuria in what Mac
Arthur calls privileged neutral"
sanctuary which the United Nations
has decided must not be attacked.
With the Eighth Army in retreat
there was no doubt that the Mac
Arthur planned about offensive to
end the war by Christmas had
failed. The United Nations COM
mander acknowledged this. He said
The strength of the Chinese Red
forces in Korea has shattered the
high hope we had that the inter-
vention was only of a token
nature on volunteer and individual
basis as publicly announced"

Faulkner Presents Tax Proposal
A proposal that the federal gov
eminent grant a federal income
tax reduction to all corporations
establishing new industries in
Alaska until their capital invest
ment has been returned was en-
dorsed by the industrial section OF
the association.
The measure was introduced in
the form of resolution by H. l..
Faulkner, Juneau Chamber OF Com
merce. The Juneau chamber has
already endorsed the measure, and
Congress will be asked to consider
it this coming session.
Reasons advanced for the exem-
ption are that risks of doing bust
ness and venturing capital in
Alaska are greater than in the
United States proper. The exemp-
lions would, under the measure, be
effective for Is years in the case
of each new corporation or until
the capital investment had been re-
turned, whichever would be the
shorter period.
