Sept. 28.-Two influential Latin
American countries today came
out against any effort to unity
Korea by force.
DR.. Rudoifo Munoz of Argen-
tina and Mexican Foreign Min
lister Luis Padilla Nervo said that.
although the uniflcation of Ko-
rea was a U. N. aim, it must be
brought about by peaceful means.
DR.. Munoz said his country
thouonghly supported Canada,
whose Foreign Secretary Lester
B. Pearson warned that no
Canadian troops would be avail
able for forcible uniflcation.
There would be no Argentine
troops either, he declared.
Mr.. Padillo Nervo said the U.
N. never had "the slightest de-
sire" to unity Korea through
war.
Philippines Prepares Warning.
South Korean President Syng-
man Rhee has demanded that
the whole of that war-torn
country be united and has served
notice that he considers that
project vital even if it means
battling the Communists to the
Yalu River boundaries.
These views on the Far East
came as Philippine Foreign Sec
retary Joaquin M. Elizalde read
led a speech warning delegates
to the 60-nation General As
sembly that Southeast Asia was
the worlds hottest powder keg
today.
Aides said MIR. EliZalde wrote
his speech several weeks ago be-
fore the Philippines announced
its candidacy for a seat in the
Security Council on the grounds
that Southeast Asia would not
be represented during the next
two years.
The United States previously
had announced its support for
Turkey to fill the seat now held
by Greece. Russia is backing
Poland.
Turkey Is Confident.
Although Turkey has ex-
pressed confidence she has
enough votes to win the three
cornered race, a Philippines
spokesman said his delegation
hopes to swing lot of votes from
the 20 Latin-American countries.
The Philippines already have the
solid support of the Asia-Arab
bloc, of which she is member.
The Philippines delegates sent
letters over the week end to the
Latin-American countries, point
ing out that the Asian-Arab bloc
has always given its votes to the
SpaniSh-Speaking countries cam
didate in the past. In an added
touch, the letters went on in
Spanish to point up the link be-
tween their own Spanish-Speak-
ing nation and those of the
American hemisphere.
Mr.. Elizalde was one of nine
delegates left on the speaking
list for the opening policy de-
bates, but another round be-
tween Russia's Andrei Vishinsky
and Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.,
chief United States delegate,
was looked for before the CO.
nation group recesses for COM
mittee work.
Indian Also to Speak.
India's v. K. Krishna Menon
was scheduled to deliver his
country's policy viewpoint late
today. Delegation aides said
that his statement would mirror
Prime Minister Nehru's dis
satisfaction with the barring of
India from the Korean peace
conference as a neutral and his
charge last week that the U. NJ
is trying to solve Asia's prob
lens without adequate Asian
representation in important
meetings.
With the date for the peace
conference as provided in the
Korean armistice agreement ex-
actly month away, Mr.. Menon
has been stressing in private
conversations that the Indians
want the parley to get started.
