South Korea started the war   The events now taking place in Korea broke out on June  as the result of a provocative attack by the troops of the South Korean authorities on the frontier areas of the Korean Peoples Democratic Republic This attack was the outcome of a premeditated plan  From time to time Syngman Rhee himself and other representatives of the South Korean authorities had blurted out the fact that the South Korean Syngman Rhee clique had such a plan  As long ago as October   Syngman Rhee boasting of success in training his army stated outright in an interview given to an American United Press correspondent that the South Korean Army could capture Pyongyang in the course of three days  On October   Sin Sen Mo Defence Minister of the Syngman Rhee Government also told newspaper correspondents that the South Korean troops were strong enough to act and take Pyongyang within a few days Only one week before the provocative attack of the South Korean troops on the frontier areas of the Korean Peoples Democratic Republic Syngman Rhee said in a speech on June  in the socalled National Assembly where Mr Dulles adviser to the US State Department was present If we cannot protect democracy in the cold war we shall win in a hot war  It is not difficult to understand that representatives of the South Korean authorities could only make such statements because they felt that they bad American support behind them One month before the present developments in Korea on May   Mr Johnson chief American administrator of aid to Korea told the American Congress House of Representatives Appropriations Committee that  officers and men of the South Korean Army equipped with American weapons and trained by the American Military Mission bad completed their preparations and could begin war at any time  It is known that only a few days before the Korean events the United States Defence Secretary Mr Johnson the Chief of the General Staff of the United States Armed Forces General Bradley and the State Department adviser Mr Dulles arrived in Japan and had special conferences with General MacArthur and that afterwards Mr Dulles visited South Korea and went to frontier areas on the th Parallel  Only one week before the eventson June Mr Dulles adviser to the State Department declared in the abovementioned National Assembly of South Korea that the United States was ready to give all necessary moral and material support to South Korea which was fighting against Communism  These facts speak for themselves and need no comment     The United States Government tries to justify armed intervention against Korea by alleging that it was undertaken on the authorisation of the Security Council The falsity of such an allegation strikes the eye  What really happened It is known that the United States Government had started armed intervention in Korea before the Security Council was summoned to meet on June  without taking into consideration what decision the Security Council might take Thus the United States Government confronted the United Nations Organisation with a fait accompli with a violation of peace  The Security Council merely rubberstamped and backdated the resolution proposed by the United States Government approving the aggressive actions which this Government had undertaken     The illegal resolution of June  adopted by the Security Council under pressure from the United States Government shows that the Security Council is acting not as a body which is charged with the main responsibility for the maintenance of peace but as a tool utilised by the ruling circles of the United States for unleashing war This resolution of the Security Council constitutes a hostile act against peace  If the Security Council valued the cause of peace it should have attempted to reconcile the fighting sides in Korea before it adopted such a scandalous resolution Only the Security Council and the United Nations SecretaryGeneral could have done this However they did not make such an attempt evidently knowing that such peaceful action contradicts the aggressors plans  httpwwwfordhameduhalsallmodgromykokoreahtml
