Other Nations Must
Build Up Forces in
Korea, Austin Says
BY The Assseisisd Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. April
28.-The United Nations today
stepped UP It's campaign to get
other United Nations members to
send more troops to Korea.
/, Warning that there is no free
ride to international security,
American Delegate Warren r. Aus
tin said the United States expects
every country to make an effort
in proportion to its means.
His statement In a nationwide
broadcast was couched in general
terms. but an American source said
Ut was q diplomatic echo of nego-
tiations now being carried on by
the Pentagon in Washington.
| These military negotiations are
aimed at getting those countries
which have sent q few troops to
Korea to send more and those
which have sent none to start join
ing up.
This source said the United
States has assured the countries
that sending more men will not
mean tripping Europe of defenses.
The American view, ne said, is
that the Korean war is just part
of the world picture, and that
unity demonstrated there may well
forestall aggression elsewhere.
Making this point, Mr.. Austin
said:
II know how hard 1t is for people
to see that an attack on another
nation many thousands Of miles
from their own frontiers is a direct
threat against their own liberties.
What one must realize every day
and every hour is that we are
each responsible for keeping the
peace. The price Of peace is
collective responsibility.
There is no free ride to inter-
national security. Either we all
make o sacrifice-or none Of us
lis safe"
|
Mr.. Austin sharply rebuked
countries which toy with the
notion Of appeasement.
"The imperative requirements
for peace involve preparedness for
war;" he said. Nothing less than
the utmost strength. unity and
CO. operation can save us.
peace brought by surrender to
aggression is q snare and q de-
lusion."
The former Vermont Senator
also tride to knock down the
feeling that the United States
alone could serve as world police
imam and preserve peace.
"No nation, not even the United
States. is powerful enough to do
that alone" he said. sThe only
thing that will deter a well-armed
Iaggressor from his act is the Ger
tain knowledge that If he makes
Ia move against one of the United
Nations. he will be confronted by
the resistance Of all the countries
that believe in freedom"

The most marked trend In the
employment field. however, was
away from domestic service. In

liver since the dramatic announcement of Matador
T. (he guided missile pictured on THIS WEEKS
cover the experts have been busy explaining its
significance Most of the discussion has been in tech
nical terms, aimed principally at the soldier and
scientist.
But what does it all mean to the average American?
Actually it is the most significant news the world
has received since that terrible explosion over Hro
shima The announcement of successful guided
missile coupled with official statements that we can
now turn out large numbers of small atomic bombs
promises three tremendous changes in warfare -
changes that could actually mean the difference be-
tween life and death to you, personally:
1. 1t is now probable that never again. even in
total war will we need to destroy defenseess cities
in flash of light and heat. The mass murder of
civilian men, women and children has finally become
unnecessary by military standards.
z. Some military planners believe that this same
combination of guided missiles and atomic warheads
Evening star., 1951-11-04

may provide us with an almost mpenetrable defense
against enemy planes.
Today we acknowledge that seven out of 10 enemy
bombers could get through our defenses and hit our
cities There is reason to believe that in the
future thanks to our weapons almost none would
survive.
:. Finally, and perhaps most important of all, these
great new developments can strengthen our moral
position, both in the worlds eyes and in our own.
Many thoughtful Americans - including perhaps
majority of atomic scientists - feel that our
whole nation has suffered of guilt ever since
those two terrible explosions in Japan. They blame
good share of our national tensions and weakness
on that feeling of shame. But now the picture has
changed.
Our allies no longer need fear that Paris Antwerp
or Berlin would have to be leveed to destroy Soviet
invaders. and longer the pedders of the Stock
holm Peace Appeal label us as the mass murderers.
