which he said caused doubt in
his mind as to the value of
negotiating with the Communists
at all.
"As the record stands to this
date" he said, "the Communist
rulers have at no time, at no
place, voluntarily relaxed their
grasps on what they had. This
is so even though, as in the case
of Eastern Germany, Austria
and North Korea, they had
promised that their grasp was
only temporary"
Later he added:
"When we negotiate with the
Soviet Communists and their
satellites, we are confronted with
something far more formidable
than individual or national lust
for glory. We are confronted
with a vast monolithic system
which, despite its power. believes
that it cannot survive except as
it succeeds in progressively de-
stroying human freedom.
IT do not present this analysis
in a mood of pessimism, but
rather in a mood of realism.
Communist doctrine authorizes
accommodation when the oppo-
sition is strong. 1t is our task
here to show such strength of
honorable and non aggressive
purpose that the Communists will
find it acceptable to grant unity
and freedom to Korea"

firm safeguards against some
sort of Red trap which might
land all of fIndo- China in Com
fnunist hands. With Wet Mimi
forces, regulars or guerrillas, in
filtrated through all the regions
of Wet Nam technically held by
the French, the Americans fear
any armistice line would be inn
possible to enforce.
France and Britain are anxious
to negotiate a cease fire even if
it entails some risk. But the
terms offered SO far by Premier
Joseph Laniel-evacuation by
the Wet MIN of Cambodia, Laos
and the rich Mekong and Red
River deltas-promise little hope
of rebel compliance.
None of the conference dele
gates still had much hope the
Korean talks would get any,

Dulles Rejects Korean Plan.
The Soviet proposal came
amid these other Developments
in Geneva and abroad bearing
on the Asian par1ey:
/. Secretary OF State Dulles
rejected North Korea's proposal
for unification elections, saying
it was a scheme designed to
destroy the authority of the ex-
isting (SeouD government and
to replace it by Communist
puppet regime"
2. In Seoul. a spokesman for
President Syngman Rhee's gov
ernment termed the North Ko-
rean plan, advanced yesterday
by Foreign Minister Nam II, a
trap and completely unaccept-
able"
3. Diplomatic informants in
London said the United States is
urging it's Western allies pub
licly to pledge help quickly for
France in resisting Communist
aggression. AS outlined, however,
there would be no direct ulti-
matum to Red China. Britain
and France have opposed an
ultimatum.
4. A reliable source said the
United States, Britain and France
have agreed there can be no
cease fire in Indo-China without
safeguards to insure that the
military situation remains froz-
en- during negotiations for po-
litical settlement.
u. N. Plan Called For.
At the same time he rejected
the North Korean election plan,
Mr.. Dulles called on the 19-na-
ton Far Eastern conference to
back up the 1948 United Nations
plan calling for general elections
under u. N. supervision.
Implementation of this pro-
gram, he said, would require the
Chinese Communists Ito with
draw their forces of aggression
and occupation from North
Korea so that the United Nations
can complete its task in an
atmosphere free of menace"
The Secretary of State said
the United States does not wish
it's own troops to remain in
Korea indefinitely. but once be-
fore the United States had
withdrawn its troops and that
turned out to be premature.
Mr.. Dulles said the North
Korean proposal sis in essence
the same as that made in June,
1850. as a prelude to the armed
attack on the Republic of Korea. "
"Also," he added, sit is strik-
ingly similar to the scheme which
the Soviet Union presented at
Berlin last February for the uni
f1cation of Germany"

proposals Mr.. Dulles reviewed
