Report Says Outcome
OF Korean War Can't
Yet Be Foreseen
BY the AssSeIoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 1.-Irygs
We Lie says a bold and enlight-
ened act of craftsmanship is
needed to meet the threat of q
third world war.
The United Nations secretary
general gave his views in his 143-
page annual report to the General
Assembly, which meets at Flush
ing Meadows, N. Y, September 10.
In the report, written July IL.
Mr.. Lie said there was no way
to foresee the outcome of the war
in Korea He said the breach
of peace in Korea interrupted his
efforts to get high-level officials
of the big powers to resume nego-
tiations.
Need for negotiations, however,
will be greater than ever when
United Nations action has sue
ceeded in restoring peace to
4&O4CoJ 4s4A 44C W1OUCs
Il do not believe that member
states adhering to the charter
can ever accept the doctrine of
irreconcilable and irrevocable
division of the world into warning
camps, not so long as the least
possibility exists of preventing a
third world war by peaceful
settlements based on the prin-
ciples of the charter.
Need of Bold Action Cited.
But I also believe it will take
nothing less than a bold and en-.
lightened act of craftsmanship
to bring about a resumption of
negotiations and to halt further
deterioration towards another
world war"
The report termed a successful
conclusion to the U. N. military
action in Korea first priority"
for member nations but added:
This does not mean, however,
that either the member govern"
mentS, or as secretary general,
should abandon efforts for peace
by negotiation. coneiliaticn and
mediation.
Mr.. Lies report was distributed
among the SO delegations as the
Security Council prepared to take
fup again tomorrow afternoon the
Soviet Unions demand to seat
Communist North Korea and Red
China at the council table during
debate on the Korean issue.
An American spokesman said
Saturday that this would be like
inviting to tea a man who has
burned down your front porch. He
said the United States would op-
pose the Russian move.
Makes Radio Address.
Shortly after his report was
made public yesterday, Mr.. Lie
said in radio broadcast that
the Korean crisis has brought
with it the most serious danger
to peace since the u. N. was
founded in 1945.
High points in Mr.. Lies report
were:
l. The best approach to a solu-
tion of outstanding problems
would be meeting of top-ranking
officials of the big powers.
2. China's seat in the U. N.
should be given to the government
which actually controls most Of
China, in effect, to the Chinese
Communists since they control
the mainland.
3. With such need for man
kind to pool resources for. higher
standards of life and greater social
programs, it would be tragic for
political strife to destroy the
groundwork laid by the U. N. in
economic and social fields.
4. Every reasonable step should
be taken to enable all nations Of
the world to belong to the U. N.
Fourteen countries now are seek
ing admission. The Soviet Union
has vetoed nine of them.
S. U. N. specialized agencies
have. demonstrated potentialities
for promoting peace and prosper
ity but these potentialities remain
unrealized because of non-partici-
patton by some countries and the
small amount of aid given by
most participating governments.
6. The expanded U. N. program
of technical assistance for eco
nomic development is a good be-
ginning but only beginning. A
vast program of self-help and mu-
tual aid is needed.
